We didn’t rebel because the colonies had marriage licenses and in fact increased the practice, the license Washington authorized was after we were a nation.
Marriage licenses and public banns/legal notification go way back many centuries, proof of marriage was required for federal widow pensions for the revolutionary war, and Muslims could not legally marry multiple wives.

The thread is about marriage licenses and the Bible.
Let’s stay on topic here.
The misdirection to George Washington is off topic, a straw man attempt and not an applicable example. George Washington is nowhere in the Bible.
So...back to the question; where in the Bible is there evidence of marriage licenses, or law requiring them?
