Not truthfully when filling out an ppication for a marriage license can carry criminal pealites. In fact, in many states this is a misdemeanor offense. However, states do not conduct independent investigations regarding such matters. That having been said, it is never a good idea to intentionally violate the law. Further, such an irregularity on a marriage license application does not void a marriage.
