Actually, you don't need a license to get married. Common law marriages are just as legally accepted as any other. Besides which, you don't need to be married to have kids.
And while those kids might be safe from their mother now, being wards of the state won't make their lives any easier. They may even decide that they'd have been better off it they HAD died when she tossed them over the bridge.
