Love your devious mind.
If it's just a matter of the legal institution of marriage, why did they even have to deceive them? Couldn't they just have gone through with it for real? Unless "marriage" is implied to have some sort of spiritual or even just romantic component, neither of which are necessary to satisfy the Japanese legal definition of marriage...
And actually, did the contract say something like, "the two people in front of you"? Rather than naming them, that is? Because otherwise, I don't get the point of the masquerade. Well, again, I'm not sure I understand the need for the deception at all.
It was a darned good episode, however...and that last line was killer.
