What if a man has not left his parents emotionally, mentally, financially?
What if he is at infant level maturity yet had a wedding, got a marriage certificate and has a lady who has joined herself with him?

According to scripture the man is required to leave (emotionally, financially, mentally) HIS parents; the woman is not required to. Pastor Mark Gungor does a great job explaining some truths about that. You can find his stuff on YouTube.
What if the man hasn't left?
Is he really then a husband? Can he cleave? Can they become one in the eyes of God?
The woman who thinks she is operating within the realm of a spiritual marriage (by spiritual I mean one that is in God's eyes an actually marriage) by making a vow doesn't necessarily mean she is in a marriage covenant with that man.

If he never went through the processes of leaving his parents then it's likely they are not married in the spiritual legal sense.
Why does it matter?
I will go into that another time. While you wait, check out this fantastic message from my old pastor Noel H.
Counter Cultural Marriage
"Biblical marriage preaches the Gospel to our culture by modeling Jesus in a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, characterized by sexual-exclusivity, complimentary servant roles, and the ongoing sacrifice of self." ~Noel H.
