Ben Levi, that’s interesting and I see what you’re saying, but not every line in the Gemara has halachic significance. A person approving of toeivah marriage in secular law is misguided, and certainly they should learn this Gemara and its commentaries, but are they transgressing? They’re just an individual with an opinion, which has no effect on the government. What if there’s a totally unrelated mitzvah they’re not fulfilling? Then shouldn’t we focus on that, if we’re trying to influence them?
