Am I married if I receive a marriage license and yet never enter into a lawful marriage.?
IF THAT MARRIAGE LICENSE HAS BEEN SIGNED BY A PREACHER THEN THAT MAKE IT LEGAL AS WELL AS IT MUST BE SENT INTO THE STATE TO BE PUBLIC RECORD. A License gives you permission to get married . a certificate means you have gotten married. I would compare it to a drivers license and actually driving a car. you are not a driver if you have never driven.

You may or may not be. You need to check at that county clerk's office. It is the officiant's obligation to return the marriage license to the issuing office so your license may have been returned and recorded without your knowledge. Generally, if the license is never returned there is no vital record made and thus no proof of the marriage.

Are you married if you got the marriage license but it was never filed with the state?
No. Not legally. If the couple received a valid license to be married and did so, they are legally married. The license would have had to be signed at the time it was received at the clerk's office, and would only have been issued if the proper indentification and requirements were met. The married couple is not required to file their own proof of marriage. The legal validation of the union is finalized by the judge, minister or whomever performs the ceremony issuing of the marriage certificate. A marriage license is NOT acceptable proof of a legal marriage.

Can you get married in another state without them finding out you are already married?
People have always managed to get married "in secret". You simply need to determine the requirements for a legal marriage in your jurisdiction, get legally married and not announce it to anyone. Generally in the US, the couple can obtain a marriage license and then get married by a justice of the peace. They don't need to announce their marriage in the newspaper or to anyone. Each can go back home or to wherever they were living and carry on as before until they are ready to reveal their marital status. You should inquire at your town or county clerk's office.
