Where I live, a predominately Catholic country by the way, there is legal marriage and religious marriage. They are separate issues. People who are religious generally have two ceremonies. The first is the legal one where the union is recognized legally and confers the legal status, rights, and benefits from the State. It is usually performed by a government employee. The second ceremony would be their religious ceremony that joins them in the eyes of god according to their personal beliefs performed by clergy or representative of their religion. A religious ceremony alone though doesn't confer legal rights or marital status by the state. Its just about their personal religious beliefs. So no, marriage is not an exclusively religious institution and even in religions there are different religions and differing points of view on it.
