Marriage shall be solemnized only by

You're looking at the wrong statute. "Solemnized" is talking about the wedding ceremony; issuing the license is a separate, and prior, step.

A gray area. A license authorizes solemnization.

402.070 Marriage not invalid for want of authority to solemnize.

No marriage solemnized before any person professing to have authority therefor shall be invalid for the want of such authority, if it is consummated with the belief of the parties, or either of them, that he had authority and that they have been lawfully married.

“402.080 Marriage license required — Who may issue. No marriage shall be solemnized without a license therefor. The license shall be issued by the clerk of the county in which the female resides at the time, unless the female is eighteen (18) years of age or over or a widow, and the license is issued on her application in person or by writing signed by her, in which case it may be issued by any county clerk. “

So, how does the judge intend to break this law?
