@pathw @TheOldGuy hmm.. I don't see where it mentions any of that. It looks to be just defining "common law marriage" as being between a man and a woman. Also limits legal action that can be taken against clerks.

@beecker @pathw

Yeah they took heat about equal to the tail of a rocket. And ended up rewriting it. Originally it did away with age limits for marriage so you could marry a 10 year old if she said yes.

@TheOldGuy @pathw interesting. I see many media reports to that effect, but the oldest available version States "age of majority" which is 18.

@beecker @pathw Yeah, it does because of the public outcry. People tend to forget big news items in a matter of months. That's why I posted a reminder.

@beecker @pathw That's why I said "tried to do". Were you in a coma and missed it when it happened?

@TheOldGuy @pathw no, no coma. Just don't follow fake news anymore so I guess I "missed" it.
