Marriage recognition between countries is usually set by treaty; California recognizes marriages originating in many countries but may not recognize others (particularly where official documents are not issued.) A good place to ask might be the U.S.-based embassy of the foreign country in question; you can also inquire at your local County Clerk's office to see if they can give you an answer. Hope that helps!

XWhat if you never received a marriage license in the state of California but the priest still married us in Catholic church are you married?

In California, a marriage is legally recognized only if a marriage license has been obtained and filed with the county. If you did not receive a marriage license, the marriage is not legally valid, even if a priest performed the ceremony. However, you may still be considered married in the eyes of the Catholic Church, but for legal purposes, you would need to obtain a marriage license and have it properly recorded to be recognized as legally married.

Is a foreign marriage legal in the us?

Most foreign marriages are considered legal in the US. There are exceptions, so if you got married outside the US, you may want to consult an attorney to either confirm you are not one of those cases, or to find out how to get your "foreign" marriage legally recognized by the US. An example where a foreign marriage would not be considered legal in the US is if a same-sex couple entered into a union in a country that recognizes same-sex unions and then moved to a state in the US that explicitly bans recognition of such unions.
