That's a lie, read the KY law on who MAY ISSUE marriage licenses. It's already been discussed at length in this and other threads. The law does not say "shall issue", with ONE MINOR exception.
BTW:
402.080 Marriage license required
--
Who may issue.
No marriage shall be solemnized without a license therefor.
The license shall be issued by
the clerk of the county in which the female resides at the time, unless the female is
eighteen (18) years of age or over or a widow, and the license is issued on her
application
in person or by writing signed by her, in which case it may be issued by any county clerk.
