Score One for Equality, Not

Woopsies! A typo was found in an Arkansas state law that essentially legalizes marriage among two people of any age, including babies (No word yet on whether fetuses are considered people and at what stage). A randomly placed "not" in the language legally allows anyone of any age to marry with parental consent. But let's cut Arkansas lawmakers a break. This is not something that spellcheck would not have not caught. Did you expect them to proofread the whole entire law? Or perhaps this is just the beginning of a state coup sponsored by the motivated and well-funded progressive baby marriage lobby. Or a profound social statement to show that every person who wants to marry has the legal ability to enter the most sacred of unions, regardless of age! (*note: homosexuals not included). Congratulations, Arkansas, for stepping up to fill the void in the progressive movement that California lazily and drug-inducedly left open.

    • i mean, i got married in kindergarten, but shit didnt work out too well (once she hit 2nd grade, definitely over the hill), so we had it annulled. i thought this was a common practice?

    • A 17 year old is going to proceed down the aisle, but the gov says he'll only convene a special session to fix the error if the law appears to be abused, so it's unlikely we'll see any kiddie nuptials.
