Ohio Marriage Record
Marriage is a legal as well as a spiritual and physical
relationship. When you repeat your marriage vows, you enter into a legal
contract. There are three parties to that contract: 1. You; 2. Your
husband or wife; 3. The State of Ohio. The state is a party to the
contract because under its laws, you have certain duties to each other and
to Ohio.
It is important both of you realize you have the
obligations of mutual respect, fidelity and support to each other. Both
parties to the marriage must support themselves and their spouse out of
their respective property or by their respective labor. If a married
person is unable to do so, as in the case of injury or disease, the other
spouse must assist in the support so far as the spouse is able. The duty
to support also extends to the parties' biological and adopted children.
Failure to provide support to your spouse or your dependents may result in
a violation of Ohio law.
