Yes, that I can understand. States may be able to get away with declining to issue such marriage licenses, but they cannot (or at least should not) be permitted to ignore LEGAL licenses from other states. The same applies to drivers licenses. If you are licensed to drive in one state, you are licensed to drive in ALL states, even if you are not legally old enough to obtain a license in a particular state.
