A valid marriage in georgia requires consummation according to law. This can be done by either obtaining a marriage license and performance of a ceremony OR by an actual agreement in words of present tense to be man and wife.
With no license you will have to look to option 2. Was there an actual agreement in words of the present tense to be man and wife? This is a fact sensitive situation. You will need to prove that there was a verbal agreement to be man and wife. This might be done by producing witness that saw your ceremony.
You should find a local divorce attorney and speak to them about the facts of your case.
