Arkansas law changed, toddlers can no longer marry
by: Sarah

Baby Wedding PictureAccidents happen, but this one is ridiculous, in Arkansas they passed a law that allowed anyone to marry.  When I say anyone, I even mean kids.  Granted the kids needed permission from parents in order to get the marriage license, but that law just made the state look even worse.

The accident happened when they tried to make the law for no persons under 18 to marry without parental consent, but accidentally allowed everyone and their brother to marry.

Lucky for them, they caught it before a couple of puppy-love-struck 13 year olds tried to get married.
