I don’t see any allowance for the liscense to be issued by a deputy clerk.

402.080 Marriage license required — Who may issue.
http://www.lrc.ky.gov/statutes/statute.aspx?id=36473

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 the law requires a female, without whom the law on who may issue is inapplicable.
