Just out of curiosity Doodle Dawg, are you a licensed attorney or an armchair attorney?
Kentucky’s entire marriage system is built on a definition that was held to be void (Section 402.005 enacted in 1988).
Did Kennedy rewrite section 402.005?
If so, how does it now read?
Can you quote the working definition of marriage in accordance with the legal definition in section 402.005 as enunciated by that weasly twerp Kennedy?
I'm no more an attorney than you are. But I know a couple.
Kentuckys entire marriage system is built on a definition that was held to be void (Section 402.005 enacted in 1988).
So if Section 402.005 reads "As used and recognized in the law of the Commonwealth, "marriage" refers only to the civil status, condition, or relation of one (1) man and one (1) woman united in law for life..." then does that mean divorce is illegal in the Commonwealth?
No, that can't be true because Section 402.020 says that marriage is prohibited where there is a husband or wife living from whom the person marrying has not been divorced. So divorce is possible in Kentucky and the definition of marriage you quoted had been invalidated long before the Supreme Court issued their ruling. So really it is Section 402.020 which defines who may marry, and all the Supreme Court decision did was strike down clause (d) which prohibited marriage between same sex couples.
