I would think so. Why your asking is beyond me is you married someone there.

Have you tried Canada? The US will not honor the marriage but if you want to. May it be happy and joyful for the both of you.

If you wish to be legally wed, you must get a marriage license from the county in which you plan to have the ceremony conducted. If you just want to play house without protecting your legal interests, talk to your Clergyman about a commitment ceremony, but don't gripe when you can't put each other on your health insurance,visit each other in the hospital if one of you gets incapicitated, have to go through hell and back to make funeral arrangements, have trouble getting a mortgage or life insurance and your auto insurance premiums stay the same instead of dropping by nearly 25% if you both have decent driving records.

The marriage is valid under Church doctrine, but not under U.S. law.\n\nIf your marriage occurred outside the United States, you need to apply for an marriage license within the United States as well in order for your legally recognized by the Federal and State governments.

It depends on several things, one of the biggest is where are they getting married (i.e. U.S/Canada/another country).

if you marry a u.s. citizen then you can stay legally.

I'm not familiar with California law, but I'd have to believe that to become married, both people must be living. So, the answer would be, Yes, it is illegal.

engagement is not a legally binding contract (any more) so go ahead - but wait for the decree absolute before any wedding preparations!

No, currently the California Supreme Court (which sits in San Francisco) says no gay marriages until all the lawsuits from gay activists and opposing religious groups are decided. \n\nIn the meantime, the same court has ruled Domestic Partnerships that grant the rights and responsibilities of marriage to gays are definitely legal. So the fight at this point isn't substantive, its over the actual use of the word "marriage" only.\n\nAs for the lawsuits, there has been conflicting rulings...in Orange County and Sacramento County, the ban on same-sex marriage was uphelded. However, judges in San Francisco County and Santa Cruz County reached the opposite conclusion (holding that the ban is unconstitutional). No matter who wins these little trial court battles, however, it'll eventually be appealed all the way back up to the California Supreme Court.

In the past, some Counties like San Diego will deputize you for a day to perform a civil ceremony.  I don't know if they still do this, but check with the L.A. County Clerk's office.\n\nI used one of those "church by mail" things.  I sent in $5 to a P.O. Box listed in the National Enquirer.  For a year, I was a "Reverend" and I performed a friend's ceremony.  They've been married for over 11 years now and I have the videotape to prove it.

Yes, it is allowed in islam and also in some christianity also. like in england one can marry his or her cousin, but in america it is not allowed.

No.  But they do have to have a wedding at the courthouse (like our justice of the peace).  Many have church weddings, but the courthouse wedding is the one that matters to the state.
