Licencia para casarse sin necesidad de presencia física

Explicación Simple

Esta ley permite que las parejas puedan solicitar una licencia de matrimonio usando video o internet en lugar de tener que ir en persona. Esto es útil para confirmar detalles como la edad y pagar tarifas sin necesidad de estar físicamente juntos.

Es como hacer una videollamada para coordinar una reunión, en lugar de tener que ir todos al mismo lugar. Así, puedes asegurarte de que todos estén listos y de acuerdo sin necesidad de estar juntos.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Ana y Luis quieren casarse, pero viven en diferentes estados. Gracias a esta ley, pueden usar una videollamada para verificar su información y pagar la tarifa, sin tener que viajar juntos a la oficina del registro del condado.
