I am very curious why they abolished it.

well, that explains that I guess.You can read more on it here Aristocracy of Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is not blood related or married to or born to a royal. He is the stepson by marriage to the future King. His mother will not be the Queen Regnant, she will be Queen Consort. Related by marriage means little in my opinion.
I think you're missing - or trying to ignore - the fact that his sister will be The Queen of Norway one day.
Marius is blood related to two Royals by birth.
Is through the matriarchial line that has married into the royal family.
Okay, but that doesn't change the fact that his two half-siblings are Royals, and one of them will be The Queen one day.
Anyway, Marius will not have a title, because there's no nobility in Norway.

I would imagine in the family structure, Marius is just as well loved as his siblings are and they have a close relationship. No title or a title doesn't make any difference in that respect. As the years go by, I think Marius very well could one day be heard to say "my sister, the Queen".
Having two royal half-siblings doesn't make him royal or entitled to a title and frankly, I don't see how a title for Marius would be considered necessary? He's not royal, merely the brother of the future Queen and you can be the brother of the future Queen without being titled.
From what I read, they don't have titles in Norway. So they can't give Marius one.

But he doesn't have royal blood himself ...
Her HRH was removed. In Norway she is no longer a (royal) highness. It is just abroad that she is acknowledged as highness (just like her nephew prince Sverre Magnus).
Can you tell me what the constitution in Norway dictates as to how would Ingrid-Alexandra's husband will be called when she ascends the throne?
But was there a question that she would not be called Crown Princess?
Officially, she is HRH Princess Ingrid Alexandra, not using "of Norway". Only outside of Norway do the princesses and princes use a territorial designation.
The Constitution does not state what spouses will be called. King Harald's decision on what Mette-Marit would be called after marriage was not announced until the wedding day.
That appears to be the case. At the press conference held to announce the engagement of Crown Prince Haakon to Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby, the interviewer asked for Mette-Marit's reflections on being "Norway's next queen". Ms. Tjessem Høiby opened her answer by clarifying that her title had not been announced.
If I'm not mistaken it was also a hot topic in the Netherlands as to what title Máxima would take after her husband ascends the throne and after much debate the Dutch parliament confirmed that Máxima would become queen consort of the Netherlands upon her husband's accession. Is there like a stipulation under the constitution that supports this?
Do you mean the constitution of Norway? It is totally silent on the subject of royal spouses' status and titles, but with Mette-Marit now enjoying the title of Crown Princess (whereas Máxima never used the title Princess of Orange), it seems to be the expectation that she will become Queen (consort) in due time.

And traditionally, Queen Regnant's husband of the Netherlands will be called "Prince" not even Prince Consort. So we already know the future of the future husband of Catharina-Amalia.
Máxima officially still is prinses Máxima der Nederlanden, prinses van Oranje-Nassau. These are her titles by law. But there is also someting like "social convention". It says that female spouses of titled gentlemen can be addressed with their spouse's titles: the wife of a Count is addressed as Countess, the wife of a Baron is addressed as Baroness, etc.. It is only in that tradition that Máxima can be addressed as wife of a King.
Her style is not HM The Queen, it is a mix of her courtesy style and her titles by law: Hare Majesteit koningin Máxima, prinses der Nederlanden, prinses van Oranje-Nassau.
Yes, technically Maxima is still 'only' a princess, courtesy-title is queen.In English? Her Majesty Queen Máxima, Princess of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau? This is interesting.
Can we legally address her as 'HM The Queen of the Netherlands?'
Compared with other reiging European Queen Consorts? Is it only Máxima that has this distinct case?

Yes, technically Maxima is still 'only' a princess, courtesy-title is queen.
Government reasoned that if the spouse of a queen is 'only' a prince, then in modern times the spouse of a king will 'only' be a princess. A matter of equality.
I think that is also done. For example when tey make a State Visit abroad. The british Court referred to the State Visit by the King and Queen of the Netherlands See here
It would sound strange if the referr to the State Visit by the King of the Netherlands and Queen Máxima, Princess of the Netherlands which would be the correct one form after her legal Titles.
It is the same in Spain with the title Prince/Princess of Asturias. But still the consort of a Prince of Asturias is styled Princess of Asturias. We will see if this will also be the case for a male spouse but as also the husbands of spanish Duchesses are styled Duke of Alba etc. i think it is very likely.The revised Dutch Royal House Act 2002 states that the heir(ess) is The Prince (Princess) of Orange, with this making it gender neutral.
