Kansas -- American Fundamentalism

So a lovely young couple from Nebraska went to Kansas recently to get married. She had her parents permission and they were in love. Trouble is, she was 14 at the time. You see, there is no minimum age for marriage in Kansas, provided you get parental or judicial permission (can you imagine a judge putting his "OK" stamp on the motion?). Why is this trouble? Well, they live in Nebraska, you see. So when you come home, you may be married as a result of Nebraska being forced to give full faith and credit to Kansas, you cannot engage in martial relations.... So hubby/daddy (yes, they have a child now) will have to do a year in prison for his eagerness.

Of course, another little issue is that he impregnated her before she was married, and that carries a sexual assault charge with it. But as the judge said, probation was out of the question in that he continued to have sex with an underage teenager. The bright side is that she is now 15 and when he gets home, she will be 16. Yahoo. I like his NASCAR tie.

And they will probably be married a lot longer than the average blue state union.
