Marriage linked to an wrong image
"Deutschland Heiraten, 1558-1929", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JHDY-JZP : 13 July 2021), Maria Josepha Lieven in entry for Clemens Strassfeld, 1872.
The link for the image opens a book for Hagen from 1658 until 1692. Seems not sensful for a marriage in Arnoldsweiler at 1872
Is there any chance to find the correct microfilm? Seems the same problem for other marriages in Arnoldsweiler around 1872

Thank you so much for letting us know about the inconsistency. I did some checking on this and was told the following:
If you go to the wiki article about the record collection: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Germany_Marriages_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records, you'll see This is a Legacy Collection at the top. It explains that no corrections are being made to these collections.
This record was created during the days of record extraction--prior to our current method of indexing. The record extraction projects did not tie the index they created to a specific image. Extraction workers were sent microfilms and they went through them and extracted some of the data which then went into the International Genealogical Index (IGI). Recently, an effort has been made to get the source film identified for these collections.
There is a wiki article on the IGI at https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/International_Genealogical_Index
