Yes, and they are sillier than Professor Klerphell could have come up 
with: "A Gartner analyst is predicting that 2% of U.S. citizens will get 
married in virtual worlds by 2015 to people they have never met, and may 
never meet even after they are married. These online virtual marriages 
will carry all the same legal implications of marriages that take place 
in the “offline” world, the Gartner analyst claims.":
