What is wrong with you guys and derailing another thread?
It fits the thread…perception vs reality…“Look at that s hit stain”.
Republicans are obsessed with child sex abuse, and pedophilia yet the Tennessee GOP just introduced a bill removing a minimum age requirement for marriage.
Under current Tennessee law, you can get married as young as 17 with parental consent.
The bill’s sponsor, Tom Leatherwood (R-Arlington), said the law being considered would add a new marriage option for Tennesseans. “So, all this bill does is give an alternative form of marriage for those pastors and other individuals who have a conscientious objection to the current pathway to marriage in our law.”
But missing from the bill are age requirements, opening the door for possible child marriages, something the bill’s sponsor acknowledged during a Children and Family Affairs subcommittee meeting. “There is not an explicit age limit,” Leatherwood said.
I was unaware that Warren Jeff’s and his Fundamentalist child rape brigade were big fans of Tennessee. Learn something new everyday.
