No - Performing marriages without a valid marriage license is illegal in North Carolina -
"No minister, officer, or any other person authorized to solemnize a marriage under the laws of this State shall perform a ceremony of marriage between a man and woman, or shall declare them to be husband and wife, until there is delivered to that person a license for the marriage of the said persons, signed by the register of deeds of the county in which the marriage license was issued or by a lawful deputy or assistant."http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/ByChapter/Chapter_51.pdf
I think most states have laws like that, don’t they? I know more than just NC has it. My point was that if a state refuses to issue a license for people of a certain faith, there are many faiths that would simply break those laws. The alternative would be no one ever gets married in the faith. So far it has never been put to the test on a wide scale. Those laws get brought up occasionally when older widowed couples wish to be married in the faith but not to tell the state so as not to have their pensions and benefits altered.
For instance, if a state quit issuing marriage licenses to those faiths that didn’t accept civil divorce and remarriages or ‘gay marriage’ the groups that haven’t accepted civil divorce and remarriage or ‘gay marriage’ would have to drop being involved in civil marriage at all, they would have no choice. They would just have to break the law and take the consequences. Here’s an article that talks about the Catholic Church dropping civil involvement in the US.
