Leon, This is NOT a bug. It's just 'leftover' data in most cases.
There are many ways these 'ghost' marriages are created and they stay in Legacy until you delete them. Why, because Legacy knows it isnt as smart as you are, and never assumes that just because you are removing a spouse or child from a marriage doesnt mean that marriage isnt valid. If you are on the Family View, and the wife has no parents, when you click on the 'parents' field to add someone, a marriage is created in Legacy, even if you dont add any names. By using a gedcom validator like Bonkers or the error checking in programs like Genealogica Grafica, you can review your files for errors like these that build up over time. Hope that helps.
