First of all, as someone mentioned that she should use his money to go to a lawyer - I don't think he has given her access to his money.
But she still can go to a lawyer to get a FREE consultation and advice. Lawyers do pro bono hours.

That is why I really think that Belle should go to the courthouse and check to make sure if the marriage is official and legal or not legal.
Or if he really did marry Belle, it suspect that it was for a nefarious reason.
I am not sure how someone can go to a City Hall for a wedding, take along three witnesses and don't get married. But maybe you're right - maybe they just completed the application for a marriage license. The actual wedding ceremony that should happen after that - never happened.
Not sure if OP is aware of the fact that she couldn't just show up at a courthouse and get married that day. One needs to apply for a marriage license in advance. It typically takes a few days before the license is issued. Only once you have your marriage license, you are ready to start planning the court ceremony. It could, again, take few days to get them set up the date, except their courthouse was performing walk-in ceremonies.
However, the order of things is still the same: first, apply for a marriage license, wait for it to arrive, then get married.
So, there is a good chance that what OP took for a marriage ceremony was merely just a process of registration for a marriage license. There is a difference between marriage license and marriage certificate. OP should google it to see the pictures. https://blog.vitalchek.com/vital-rec...e-certificate/
So yes - for peace of mind she needs to find out is she is actually married.

Possibly there are things that she is not keen to share. They must be much worse than those she already shared with us.
A naive girl that has no family and support could be used and lied to in many ways.
She could be signing some unfavorable, coercive prenuptial agreements that she has no clue about. Obviously she is not enjoying any privileges of a married woman like access to a joint banking account, social benefits, insurance and IRA, or life with her newlywed, loving and caring husband.

"How To Get A Marriage License In North Carolina
If you're headed down the aisle in North Carolina, you'll need a marriage license. You can get one by filing an application with a County Register of Deeds Office.
You'll both need to appear at the clerk's office, fill out an application, sign it, and pay a license fee, usually $60. You can get your marriage license immediately (there isn't a waiting period)."

You guys speculating about the reasons he married her must not be aware of the icky fact that pedos and perverts exist.
If he is one or both, Belle is a great find:
young
acts even younger
poor and desperate
ZERO FAM TIES or folks of any kind to help/advise/worry/aid her/give her money to get away
malleable
willing to go along with sex acts she may not like, just to please you
easy to trick into believing well...anything but super easy to trick into thinking you LOVE her
low cost compared to sugar baby/more sophisticated gals who would want fancy stuff
To a hardcore perv, what better mate could you find? If I were that kinda perv and wanted a gal I could control easy as pie, I'd pick Belle.
My fear is he wishes to have her produce a kid so he has an all-access toy.
Perversion of some kind has to be at the root of this. Has to be. It's the only thing that makes sense.

That's freaking DARK.
Makes sense though, but DARK.
I hope you're not right and its something less nefarious. But damn. Yeah.

This makes me want to vomit because you very well might be right.
This kid has no one in her life who really deeply cares about her. She has friends, but I’m sure she’s lied to them about this guy and she sure as hell isn't going to share this story with her Pastor (who’s wife has issues with Belle) or fellow church members.
She’s naive enough to be used as a scapegoat and not have a damn clue it’s being done

I can't either. I mean, if he was gay and in the closet, he would have wanted to introduce her to family.
Marrying just for tax advantages doesn't make sense to me, they'd be minimal at that income with high risk (as money earned going forward would be joint).
Yours, sadly, does make sense. It connects the dots. Makes even more sense if they aren't really married but she was made to think she was, that would be part of the con. But there are twisted people out there, and I do try to give the benefit of the doubt more often than not.
