What is the name of your state?new york

My nephew was married in new york 5 years ago. . But when we did a research to see if the marriage was ever recorded it wasn't. The reason we did a research was his wife (soon to be ex) gave him a copy of the marriage license and it didn't have the seal of the recorder(state). So it made us wonder since it was a friend of hers who married them. He was supposedly a preacher.

If the marriage wasnt recorded is it legal? Do they need to get a divorce? Or what? This has been especially nasty as she wants him to state he has cheated on her so she can get alimony and she will give him a divorce and let him see his son or she said she will make his life miserable. She is the one who cheated in the marriage and he refuses to do it.

He is going to divorce her, but we are puzzled as to the law in New York, if it wasnt recorded what do we do?
