Can you get married in California without a marriage license?
Not legally. All states require a license. It is actually illegal for anyone that CAN legally marry people to do so without a license. "Marriage" is a legal word and is contractual in the eyes of the government. Another view... Lawful, however is a different word with a different meaning. Because God's law's are over man's laws and He first ordained marriage, you do not need to have a marriage license in order to be married. There are many Godly preachers who will marry a couple without a license. Marriage is a covenant between you and God. There is also the matter of the definition of the word "license." It is "something given to you by a competent authority which allows you to do something which would otherwise be unlawful." Marriage is not unlawful and therefore does not require a license. In addition, a license gives the state jurisdiction over your marriage and the fruits thereof -- your children. Many cite this alone as reason for not obtaining a marriage license.
In many states it is illegal to conduct a marriage ceremony without a valid license. Without the license the marriage is not official. *If the couple wishing to marry reside in a state that allows common law marriage, a license is not required, nor is a formal service as long as they adhere to the established legal procedures required for the recognition of such a union.

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.

Why does the state require a license to marry?
Marriage is a legal transaction and important life event. States have marriage license laws in order to maintain the standards required to create a legal marriage and then to record it for future reference. Without such a system a person would be unable to obtain any official proof that they were married. That would be especially important in such cases as inheritance, obtaining government benefits and tracing family histories.
Records of life events such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death certificates are maintained under governmental authority in most jurisdictions. Such records help to preserve rights in the modern world. The original purpose of keeping official records of important life events in the ancient world was for tax purposes.

Do Amish need a marriage license to marry?
Answer:
If an Amish person wishes to remain in the Amish community they must marry in the Amish Church. Both spouses must already be members of the Amish church in order to be married by the church. Many individuals do not join the church until they have decided to marry, at which time they will both go through instruction class and baptism into the Amish church. After this they will marry in the church.
It should be noted that most Amish do not have a church building, but rather have services in different homes. They may have an enclosed wagon to haul folding chairs to the site of the worship service. There are, however, groups referred to by others as "church Amish" which have a building.
Answer:
No, that's ridiculous. Amish should be able to marry Muslims in a Jewish temple for all I'm concerned.
