ANH throws what may be a curve ball into the ongoing Texas-FLDS debacle:
Outstanding article. But I will laugh my rump off when they start whipping out their New Hampshire marriage licenses…
457:4 Marriageable. – No male below the age of 14 years and no female below the age of 13 years shall be capable of contracting a valid marriage, and all marriages contracted by such persons shall be null and void.
Would explain all those FLDS Texas cars at the FLDS community in New Hampshire over the last several years.
How ironic would it be if it turned out that the Southern religious nutcases are taking advantage of godless Yankee laws to avoid any legal peril related to underage marriages?
