Please provide legal references such as cases, reports, rulings, etc. that may help me in a future case. My ex filed a divorce and was granted the divorce in her favor even though she committed adultry and had a child from her affair.

No, they are not legal vows....however, there are some states that do have laws against adultery, you might check yours out....but whether it does or not....the vows are made to God, and he will pass judgment in the future, and his punishment would be greater than anything here on earth

Did you want to sue your spouse for violating one of the vows? It's gotta be the obey one. That's a tough one.
I would love to sue my spouse and have the court award that he must put the dirty clothes in the hamper and do the dishes.
I would have a much better to leg to stand on if I had a court order to enforce this stuff. Especially if he had to chose between spending the night in the pokey and doing the dishes.

No. The only time the vows would be considered a binding contract would be with a "covenant wedding." More info here:

They are just words. Its the signature on the paper that is legally bound.

Yes they are legally binding. This is why you have to go to court if you were to divorce

No, wedding vows are not legally binding. However, They are binding in the eyes of God.

it depends on who invoked the vows. a judge, a peace of justice, a notary republic? a clergyman with the powers to invoke a marriage? did you sign a certificate?

The wedding itself is legal, but what you actually say during the ceremony is not legally enforceable.

I think legally your married as soon as you have your marriage liscense. The vows are under God.
