Legal to Marry an infant in Arkansas?
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A law passed this year allows Arkansans of any age -- even infants -- to marry if their parents agree, and the governor may have to call a special session to fix the mistake, lawmakers said Friday.
The legislation was intended to establish 18 as the minimum age to marry but also allow pregnant teenagers to marry with parental consent, bill sponsor Rep. Will Bond said. An extraneous "not" in the bill, however, allows anyone who is not pregnant to marry at any age if the parents allow it.
"It's clearly not the intent to allow 10-year-olds or 11-year-olds to get married," Bond said. "The legislation was screwed up."

LOL!! I was reading about this tonight. They accidently put the word "not" before the word "pregnent" in the legistlation which makes it read this way.
It looks like the Governor is going to have to call a special session of the legislature to fix it!!!!

Do we have anyone here from Akransas? I want to see if this is an isolated incident or if perhaps this is an example of the state of their education system

I know a woman who married at the age of 13!....Just barely 13. I was playing with dolls and riding a bicycle at 13. I can't imagine anyone getting married so young.
