A few years ago I got married blah blah yeah. Well let me get straight to the point. In the mothers name area of the marriage license/certificate thing, I put the wrong name of my mother. It is not her real name that I put down (by accident) and I was wondering if it would still be valid. I'm not to worried about having to get remarried to this male as we are no longer together, but it is something I would like to know this way I can figure it out and see what all needs to be done with divorce or possible name change. The state that we married in was Iowa state.

Some people outright lie on their license applications and nothing happens, even though that is perjury. Nevertheless, they are still married. I wouldn't give it a second thought.
