NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A proposal making its way through the state legislature would establish a common-law marriage between “one man” and “one woman.”

Opponents of the bill (HB 233) say it would eliminate an age requirement, and in some instances, open the door for a coverup of child sex abuse.

Peculiar, I think, to the eliminate age requirement for marriage.

I’ve learned to never trust the media, so it is probably a misrepresentation of what really was tabled.

This is invalid because there is no legal definition of “man” or “woman.”

remember don't say gay bill is not what they call it at all. If the article sounds fishy, it probably is. Sounds to me like this article is trying to provide fodder for the Democrats to use against Republicans.

Don't rush in like fools.

Why should cousins have to wait until they’re sixteen?

Exactly. There’s gotta be more to this.

Whatever law it was that odongo reversed with regards to the Media having to report the truth needs to be put back on the books.

Legal age was 16 in Tennessee, 14 in North Carolina when in HS. Had many classmates cross the state line to get married in NC, no blood test, no waiting period.

I've found many marriages back in the 1700’s and 1800’s of 14 year old girls in genealogy records. Never yet found a male under 18, usually much older.

“I’ve learned to never trust the media, so it is probably a misrepresentation of what really was tabled.”

Given their outright lies on Ukraine (and Kosovo before that, and Bosnia before that, and Vietnam before that), I’d be quite interested in what the OTHER SIDE is saying about this bill.

I’m not a biologist, so I’m not allowed to define what makes a woman.

I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not allowed to define legal age of consent.

But my daughters(they are young women) sure as Hell are not getting married under age 18.

I can’t imagine this will pass. A bunch of Muslims have moved to TN. Maybe they are behind it.

Very likely they were trying to get that “one man, one woman” bit in there and in their haste they weren’t thorough and detailed. Next thing you know the left spins it out of control.
