I would say that it is not legally a fundamental right in California, just as voting did not use to be a legal fundamental right, as it could be abridged in so many ways. This does not necessarily mean that it is not ultimately a fundamental right, or shouldn't be viewed legally.

Also, I'll agree with you: if it's a legal fundamental right, then siblings, or adult children and parents should be allowed to marry as well.
