Botched Arkansas Marriage Law To Be Repealed

Little Rock, AR - An Arkansas law that would allow anybody to marry, even toddlers, will soon be fixed. Because of a typo, the legislation mistakenly allowed anyone, of any age, to marry in Arkansas with parental consent. Jacksonville Representative Will Bond backed the law last year.

Trying to Strengthen an ’I Do’ With a More Binding Legal Tie

In front of more than 5,000 cheering constituents in a North Little Rock sports arena, Gov. Mike Huckabee took the former Janet McCain to be his lawfully wedded wife Monday night, just as he did nearly 31 years ago, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do them part. This time, although the actual vows were not repeated, the emphasis was clearly on the "until death" pledge. Upgrading their vows to that of a covenant marriage, a legally binding contract available only in Arkansas, Arizona and Louisiana, the Huckabees hope to jump-start a conservative movement that
