You did go to law school, no?

You think you could write a contract between an unmarried man and woman that would require their employers to grant one leave if the other was sick? That would require a state to hold that one was the first-in-line, intestate heir to the other? That would preclude the federal government from taxing transfers of property from one to the other?
Sure, 3d parties cannot "interfere" with contracts -- though that's hardly an easy claim to make.
But that doesn't mean that third parties are bound by contracts.
Or did your law school teach you different?
