Alright..let’s back up a minute and rethink.

I think that those laws are presumed to talk about married people because there is a specific out of wedlock provision.

Seen here.

In otherwords, out of wedlock - this section

if not out of wedlock meaning married - another section

They don’t state the word married..but you gather that from the provision specifically addressing out of wedlock.

You have to read the statutes as a whole.

No, this idea doesn’t make sense..it was NATIONALITY that I linked to.
Still don’t have an answer.
