So the couple will live together after a religious ceremony (are there non-Jews in NJ that regularly perform underage marriages?), and then register a civil marriage in a few years. Or, hop over to a nearby state when it's convenient.<br /><br />Is this because it's statutory rape unless the couple is legally married? I guess that might be an issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
