Which commandment tells us to obey those in authority?

There is no commandment that specifies respecting those in authority, but commandment number 5 talks about obeying your parents which have authority over you. It does mention in the new testament that you should follow the laws of the land. Jesus also says to give Cesar what belongs to Cesar talking about paying taxes. The Bible also mentions on multiple occasions that we should listen to elders or those in authority. There are more laws than just the 10 commandments. If you compare the laws of the Bible to the laws of the land, most of them are similar. For instance, murder is illegal and it is also against the Bible.

When is marriage legal in Gods eyes?

I believe that if one believes in God and the Bible then one should do as it says. Obey the laws of the land. Therefore, if one wants to be married in God's eyes he or she must have a legal marriage, if, that is, he or she is living in a country that views marriage as being legal after this process. It is important to make this covenant between each other in front of God as in having a ceremony as well.
