Just another day in the South

Clark was arrested in November on charges of statutory rape, child molestation and enticing a minor. A few days before her arrest, she married the boy under a 1962 Georgia law that allows children of any age to get married if the bride-to-be is pregnant. Clark gave birth on February 11.

 

The wedding prompted Georgia lawmakers to revisit the state's marriage laws, and last month the House voted to bar teens under 16 from marrying without juvenile court permission. The Senate has not taken up the bill.

 

as i know nothing about Aerican Politics i iam still a little confused.

 

she broke no Law by marrying the Guy?.........right.

 

after the Marriage she was arrested on the above charges even though she had broken no Law?...right.

 

then the 'House' (what is the House?) voted to change the Law?............right.

 

'The Senate has not taken up the bill'

what does this mean?.

 

thanks for any clarification...........:beer:
