I am aware that her previous multiple marriages are pre conversion and I’m happy she has given her life to Christ.

Now I want to play devils advocate for a moment. Did she refuse to grant marriage licenses to individuals who were shacking up? To women who were knocked up? To individuals who were on their 3rd marriage? Because all of these scenarios are sinful in the eyes of God.

All good questions. As to couples who were shacking up, from my own family experience, would you or God for that matter prefer that these folks not get married? Same and even especially if the woman is pregnant? I am a retired and recovering divorce lawyer so I’m probably not a good person to answer the third question. I’m also Catholic and decided a couple of years ago not to file any more divorces. I don’t think that she has been issuing any licenses. I guess I’m curious as to what she is in contempt of. Indirect civil contempt is a tricky thing. I’ll be watching this closely.
