I thought that ship's captains could conduct legal marriages?
Susanne does not want to have a child in a lost spaceship with a finite food supply and has no means of contraception but omnicompetent Caitlin sets out to find a means.

Both UK and US law do not recognize as valid marriages performed or witnessed by ship captains (albeit some US states have contradictory legal precedents on this matter). And it varies from country to country.
