1 Cor. 7:12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: if any brother has a wife who does not believe, and he is willing to live with her, let him not divorce her.
7: 13 And awoman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.
7: 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
NKJV
Supose a man and woman were married in a Bhudhist ceremony, and one of them converts to Christ, does God reconize the validity of that marriage?

Supose a man and woman were married in a Buddhist ceremony, and one of them converts to Christ, does God reconize the validity of that marriage?
Yes. However, if one or both of the people were previously married to someone else and the prior marriage did not end because of fornication (end by divorce, not by death) the marriage is not recognized by God because it is an adulterous relationship.

So, no, not all marriages are valid.

Marriage in the Old Testament was valid in God's sight once a man & Woman shared a marriage bed.

Brother... can you show some scripture for this?

I'm not asking this because I disagree with you but, rather, because I have often wondered where in the world we get all of this pomp & circumstance from anyway. There is no Bible for our "weddings" (especially parts like "with this ring I thee wed") and I find your comment very intriquing.
