Sorry, brother, but you simply do not understand what a contract is. Marriage is a type of contract. A license is not a contract. You cannot have a contract if both parties do not understand it is a contract. You cannot have a contract if there is not an "agreement to do something".
And a marriage license doesn't obligate you to do anything.
The marriage license does NOT grant the state any power or jurisdiction they don't already claim. Why y'all can't see this is beyond me. No state will suddenly intervene in a marriage and claim the license gives them jurisdiction. If it did, you would not be required to FILE A PETITION to divorce! Because they would already have jurisdiction.
Instead, you have to petition a court and prove it has jurisdiction. And in doing this you do NOT present a license, but rather proof of marriage taking place in the court's jurisdiction, and proof of residence.
I'm not arguing people should get a marriage license. I'm just against false information of ANY kind.
