Your marriage will be legal if it was conducted according to the laws of the country in which you were married.
These laws would normally require the ceremony to be conduced by an authorized individual who would require that a marriage certificate was signed by both parties, him/her self and some witnesses.
Part of this certificate will be kept by the sate as an official record of the marriage and part will be given to the married couple as proof of the event.
Thus the death of the preacher (the authorized individual) should not make any difference as the records (the bits of paper) are all that matter.
The first marriage is legal. If there is a divorce then, the second marriage is legal. If there isn't a divorce, then it is not legal.
Marriage has always been legal. Your marriage is legal only if you are legally married.
Marriage has always been legal. Your marriage is legal only if you are legally married.
Yes, a marriage is legal if you are married in Jamaica and live in Georgia. Any marriage is legal as long as the proper paperwork was filed with the court.
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.
A is married to B. While marriage continues, A marries C. Question: is the marriage of A to C "legal"? The marriage of A to C, is bigamous and not a legal marriage. A may be charged with the crime of bigamy which carries with it a penal sanction.
NO !
For a second marriage to be legal, the first would have to have been dissolved via legal divorce. If the first marriage was not legally dissolved, then a second marriage would neither be legal or illegal; it would simply be redundant. Married couples often renew their wedding vows, but there is no legal connection.
Yes it is legal
No. Your second marriage is not legal. In fact, in the United States a married person who knowingly marries again while still married to their first spouse commits bigamy. You need to obtain a legal divorce to dissolve your first marriage.
If you are both United States citizens it is not illegal, wherever you are married.
When it comes to marrying in a church or a chapel, there aren't any 'laws' about it. If the preacher is willing to do it, then you can. But he's not going to be willing to do it without a valid marriage license.
