Single Ceremony Marriage Officiant Training Single Ceremony Marriage Officiant Training Performing a Single Marriage Ceremony in Clark County, Nevada Course Introduction A message from the County Clerk The performance of marriages is a serious responsibility.

Marriage Certificate • After the ceremony, the Officiant will complete the Marriage Certificate and file it with the Clerk's Office. Marriage Certificate Keepsake • After the ceremony, the Officiant will complete the Marriage Certificate Keepsake in the same fashion as the Marriage Certificate. This is a souvenir document that is provided to the couple. It is NOT legal proof of marriage. Select the three (3) marriage documents provided to couples? Marriage License Marriage Certificate Marriage Ceremony Coupon Marriage Certificate Keepsake Public agreement to marry Marriage is a legally sanctioned contract between two people. Marriage, so far as its validity in law is concerned, is a civil contract, to which the consent of the parties capable in law of contracting is essential. Consent alone will not constitute marriage; it must be followed by solemnization as authorized. (NRS122.010) Is marriage considered a legal contract between two people? Yes No Public pronouncement by Officiant • In the solemnization of marriage, no particular form is required except that the parties shall declare, in the presence of the justice, judge, minister or other church or religious official authorized to solemnize a marriage, notary public to whom a certificate of permission to perform marriages has been issued, justice of the peace, commissioner of civil marriages or deputy commissioner of civil marriages, and the attending witness, that they consent to marry each other. • In every case, there shall be at least one (1) witness present in addition to the person performing the ceremony and the couple. The witness must understand that a marriage ceremony is taking place. How many witnesses are required for the marriage ceremony? None. So long as the couple consents to marry each other, a witness is not required. At least one (1) must be present. Filed Marriage Certificate After the ceremony, the Officiant must file the completed Marriage Certificate with the Clerk's Office. Once the Marriage Certificate is filed, it will be available for purchase by the couple as certified (legal) proof of marriage. NOTE: If the Marriage Certificate is not filed, the couple will NOT be able to obtain proof of their marriage. Who is responsible for filing the Marriage Certificate? The couple getting married The Officiant Section 2: Legal benefits of marriage Legal benefits Marriage is a legal contract between two people that also provides several benefits. Depending on the state or country the couple lives in, they may be entitled to certain governmental and/or other financial benefits. Some of these potential benefits may include: • Tax benefits, when you file jointly with your spouse • Estate planning benefits, including inheritance rights • Government benefits, including receiving Social Security, Medicare, and disability benefits for your spouse • Employment benefits, such as obtaining health insurance through your spouse's employer and the right to take medical leave to care for a spouse who becomes ill • Decision-making benefits, including the right to make medical decisions if your spouse is incapacitated • Financial support, including equitable property division in a divorce • Consumer benefits, such as family rates for health, homeowners', auto, and other types of insurance Are there potential legal benefits to married couples? Yes No Section 3: Where are marriages in Nevada recognized Recognition of marriage Marriages are recognized across state and country lines, and internationally. The Hague Convention that harmonizes different marriage laws, the Convention on the Celebration and Recognition of the Validity of Marriages, was concluded at The Hague on March 14, 1978, and entered into force on May 1, 1991. Article 9 of the Convention holds that, “A marriage validly entered into under the law of the State of celebration or which subsequently becomes valid under that law shall be considered as such in all Contracting States, subject to the provisions of this Chapter.” Refer to the following website for international matrimonial law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_matrimonial_law#cite_note-hcch.e-vision.nl-2 Is a marriage in Nevada considered legal elsewhere in the world? Yes No Section 4: Same-gender marriages Same-gender marriage Same-gender marriages are legal in Nevada and recognized internationally by some countries. Couples need to be familiar with the laws of their state and/or country. Some states and countries recognize non-binary (unspecified) as a third gender option. Regardless of the meaning or use around this third option, Clark County will be providing the ability for a marriage license applicant to select Male, Female or Unspecified. Are same-gender marriages recognized everywhere? Yes No Section 5: The couple’s Marriage License About the Marriage License An Officiant cannot perform a marriage ceremony by law unless the couple provides the necessary marriage documents. If the Officiant is coordinating the ceremony with the couple ahead of time, it would be beneficial to recommend to the couple that they complete the Marriage License application online before they come into the Marriage License Bureau to obtain their marriage documents. Completing the application online will allow the couple more time to accurately complete all information needed to make the issuance of the marriage documents quick and easy. Couples can go online to MLIC.Vegas to complete the application from home or any mobile device.

AN EVALUATION OF WASHINGTON MARRIAGE LAWS RIIOARD T. YOUNG* From ancient times up to the present day there has existed among sovereign states a traditional reluctance to legislate on matters concerning marriage. This attitude has been due largely to men's regard of the marital union as a personal status, some- thing which by nature involved a considerable amount of indi- vidual freedom. As families began living together in large com- munities, it became necessary for social pressures in the form of custom and church law to attach certain responsibilities to mar- riage.' It was only after decades of unsocial practices culminated in a general desire for change, however, that drastic legislation on the subject appeared. 2 The decree of the Lateran Council of 1215 Innocent III, prescribing the publishing of the bans for countries in western Europe, originated for this reasonA Similarly, the public demand for the suppression of the Fleet marriages in Eng- 4 land resulted in the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Act.
