Allah Says In The Qur'an

"And one of His signs is that He has created for you spouses from among your selves so
you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy.
Surely in this are signs for people who reflect. Sura Ar-Rum- Verse 21"

Before getting married in Kentucky, you must apply for a marriage license at
any county clerks office. The fee for obtaining a marriage license is $50. To qualify to be issued a marriage license in Louisville, Kentucky, both applicants must be single, and at least 18 years of age. Applicants 16 and 17 years old must have parental consent and the license must be issued in the county of residence of the underage applicant. The applicants must appear together in-person with valid photo ID, a driver’s license or a passport. The license is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance, meaning the parties must have the marriage ceremony within 30 days or another marriage license would need to be obtained.
