Marriage is a legal transaction and important life event. States have marriage license laws in order to maintain the standards required to create a legal marriage and then to record it for future reference. Without such a system a person would be unable to obtain any official proof that they were married. That would be especially important in such cases as inheritance, obtaining government benefits and tracing family histories.
Records of life events such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death certificates are maintained under governmental authority in most jurisdictions. Such records help to preserve rights in the modern world. The original purpose of keeping official records of important life events in the ancient world was for tax purposes.
