In order to get married in the "eyes of God" you have to believe in Him, first.
I believe you are talking about having a ceremony to unite a couple but there is no legal paperwork. Some elderly couples do this so as not to lose income from a pension or their spouse's social security.
It is not legal in the eyes of the law. There can be no divorce since there is no marriage. But a marraige is more that a legal contract; it is a covenant that is entered into between two people before God. These people have committed themselves to each other. To them, they are married. And they treat the relationship as such.

you've gotten a dedication rite in spite of the fact that it heavily isn't legally known with the help of the two the State or the Church (any church in US) without appropriate marriage license and/or documentation. this implies you do not get the kin companion reward from employment, tax breaks, coverage breaks or the different reward being married brings. besides, it poses important criminal themes - working example: ought to the worst element ensue and positively one of you passes away without a will (or in spite of a will) the surviving companion isn't seen a companion and not going to inherit any community sources. The deceased kin gets it. At 18, you're legally allowed to get married without parental permission - extremely youthful, in line with danger, yet nevertheless it rather is legally allowed. How approximately choosing an prolonged engagement extremely? Get engaged now, end your training (and there are a number of stable careers which may be won in as low as a million or 2 years) and get your careers began. you will the two be on your early 20's, somewhat extra mature, and rather waiting for that great step. stable luck.

I think you are just refering to a Christian ceremony. If so, I had a Christian ceremony and loved it. If you have a marriage certificate that is signed by someone with the legal power to wed you, it is legal.

It is legal if a marriage certificate is signed and an ordained officiant is there.
