When you entered the person did you open their marriage then close it with the x or with save? Any time you click on the marriage box in the Family View you have created a marriage to an unknown spouse. If you do not use Cancel to close the window that marriage is stored in the database. Those are the kinds of marriages being removed by the new check.
