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?
“”””Historically, there was no requirement to obtain a marriage license in colonial America. When you read the laws of the colonies and then the states, you see only two requirements for marriage. First, you had to obtain your parents permission to marry, and second, you had to post public notice of the marriage 5-15 days before the ceremony.””””
Look at my posts, marriage licenses were common and legal notice of some sort was required, in other words compliance with the law.
Muslims couldn’t just silently use their Quran to prove their many wives qualified for legal marriage status.
