IDK who Cara is but based on her response I’m guessin’ she’s a very religious Christian. I’m from Oklahoma and I don’t know anyone who got married before they had sex. Thank You, and Bye-Bye.

Makes sense why it’s a law, but it doesn’t mean it’s right. What about domestic partnerships? They aren’t technically married by the government’s standings, yet they can be arrested for having sex without being legally married? Ugh, laws like this piss me off.

people who like this law should be arrested, as the only time you’re not supposed to have sex before marriage is in religions, and this law would be going against the freedom of religion in the first amendment

This law is needed in the UK to stop the rising tide of bastard births.

If everyone followed this rule, think of how many of the worlds problems would be solved! I’m only 13 and I plan to marry as a virgin. Fornication should not be part of society.

Leave a comment and discuss this stupid law!
