I’m getting married next week so today I went to fill out our marriage license application online. I was surprsied to find that it asks for the full names, addresses, and states of birth of our parents? I don’t really understand why this is necessary. We’re both in contact with our parents so it’s not as if we don’t know where they live but as adults I don’t see how our parents are relevant to our marriage. It’s not really important, I was just wondering if anyone knew why they ask for this info.

Could be something to do with making sure you are not related. The requirements in most countries/states is that if you are a first cousin or closer relative you cannot legally marry.
