and there are XX that are morphological males, XY females, and

Virtually the only way to make sure that only a provable male marries a 
provable female is to restrict marriage to couples with children *after* 
a paternity test (and a maternity test too, for some weird cases). 
Though this might interfere with ideas about premarital sex that are 
held in the same circles. Testing it in a testtube similar to IVF might 
work too, but will interfere with the idea that an egg after 
fertilization is a human with full civil rights.

I know that whichever way you want to do it there will be large groups 
of people that will not be able to marry anyone. It wouldn't surprise me 
if that will be considered an advantage rather than a violation of human 
rights.
