Indiana Supreme Court rules on county residency for marriage licenses
A long standing Indiana decision holds marriages invalid if the bride does not reside in the county issuing the license. The rule requires the bride to live in the county for thirty days before licensing, while the groom may live anywhere. The license is valid statewide but returns must be filed with the issuing county clerk. This could affect past marriages and elopements where residency rules were ignored.
