No, a marriage license is a legal document that allows a couple to get married. The marriage license must be signed by both parties, an authorized officiant, and witnesses to make the marriage legally binding.

How many states is same-sex marriage illegal in?
If by "illegal" you mean "against the law," then none. There is no state in the US where same-sex marriage is considered a crime. In fact, in most US states, same-sex marriage is legally recognized.

What permission and license would be required to make a jeans?
You would have to define what you mean by jeans product. There is no license required to buy denim and create your own designs and items. If you copy something that is already in existence, say Levi's, you would have to have a license from that company. And you would need a business license to make and sell goods.

If a marriage is listed in a newspaper under marriage licenses that were filed does that mean the are legally married or they just got the paperwork for a marriage?

To officially be considered legally married, the couple must solemnize their marriage in accordance with the laws of their jurisdiction.
If a marriage license is only valid for 3 months and you do not officially get married are you still married when the license expires?
No. Obtaining a marriage license doesn't mean you're married. You must take your marriage license with you and arrange to have the ceremony performed by some person permitted in your state to perform marriages (city clerk, justice of the peace, priest, minister, judge, etc.). That person must sign the marriage license and return it to the town clerk where it was issued. If your marriage license expired before you used it to get married then you need to start all over again and apply for a new one.

If your marriage license was not processed due to a technical error but you had a proper wedding do you need to go through a divorce if you separate?
I believe you would need to call the office where your marriage license was issued, and ask them about the laws in your state. In some states you would still be married, regardless of the SNAFU. I had this happen - and the lady at the office in the courthouse said "If you intended on getting married - you're married." So, yes, I had to have an attorney and the whole works. If you are not legally married, you cannot get divorced. However, a technical error with the marriage license may not necessarily mean you are not legally married. It may be still legal, or you may be common law married. If you are not legally married, you can still file a civil suit for the dissolution of property.
Can a prior marriage license stop you from marrying someone?
I don't know what you mean by "ordained". Do you mean solemnized? If the marriage was never solemnized and you didn't behave as if it was, then no; you were never legally married, so there's no bar to you getting married to someone else. If it wasn't, but you acted as if it was ... we're in sticky legal territory; get a lawyer. If you were in a state that recognized common-law marriages, then you might be regarded as legally married. If you deceived your "spouse" into thinking the marriage was legit, then generally it's treated as if the marriage was legitimate in cases where benefits from being married accrue to them, and as not legitimate in cases where benefits from being married accrue to you.
Can you apply for a marriage license if you are already married?

Can you get marriage license in Kansas and get married in Arizona?
You have to get married in the same state in which you obtained your marriage license. But you can apply for an Arizona marriage license if that is the state in which you have decided to get married. Just because you got a marriage license in one state doesn't mean you can't change your mind and apply to get married in a different state. But when you do get married, you have to have a marriage license in the state in which you get married. The marriage license is not recorded as a "done deal" until after the wedding, so it shouldn't be a problem.
