Mississippi House Eliminates Marriage Waiting Period

February 28th, 2008 · No Comments

A bill which passed in the Mississippi House by a 67-51 vote would eliminate the 3-day waiting period for marriage currently required by Mississippi law. According to proponents in the House, the statute, which requires couples to take a blood test for syphilis and then wait 3 days for a marriage license, has a negative impact on Mississippi’s tourism industry. Opponents of the measure say that eliminating the waiting period will cause divorce rates to increase even further.

House Bill 1088 now moves on to the Senate, where it is expected to face tough opposition.
