A marriage license is typically valid as long as it meets the legal requirements of the jurisdiction where it's issued, including being signed by both parties and the witness. If the witness signed on the wrong line, it may raise questions about the validity of the signature, but it does not automatically invalidate the license. It's advisable to check with local authorities or a legal expert to determine if any corrective measures are needed.
