So, the Alabama Legislature, in what I am only able to understand is an attempt to solve the issue of Judges disregarding their duty by not providing marriage licenses, has passed a bill that does away with Judge-issued marriage licenses. The couple signs an affidavit, sends it to the judge (who is required by the bill to record it), and that's it. They're spouses under the law. No religious aspects (Current AL law requires marriages to be "solemnized" by e.g a Priest), minimal tests (Not related, not already married, minors need to be 16 or older and have parental permission), no bullshit.
Alabama appears to have stumbled its way into legitimately good policy out of ill intent. Good job.
This sounds like a legitimately great idea and Im confused.
Like, hey great job Alabama. But Im both suspicious and confused. ---
