Arkansas Kids Law
Well again Arkansas leaves me laughing. its no wonder the Yankees make their jokes.
This year the legislators made a nifty law in Arkansas. It allows state residents, irregardless of age, to get married, as long as their parents say its okay.
So next time you ask a 5 year old what he got for his birthday, he might say “a wife.” Yes, it would be legal…
The Governor MAY call a special legislative session to correct this. Of course , he may not, hes from Arkansas too.
The law was meant to allow pregnant teens to marry with parental consent. However the wording was not done properly, and well, yeah all kids can marry now.
It will be interesting to see if the governor forces a rewrite in the interest of public sanity.
