For decades, inmates have been able to marry their significant others by signing an affidavit to obtain a license and having a third party stand in for them during the ceremony.Those marriages would not happen today because the statute that took effect Sept. 1 requires both parties to be present at the ceremony, and department policy prohibits weddings in prison facilities. That puts the state on a collision course with the U.S. Supreme Court, which has ruled inmates, like all citizens, have a right to marry.Does Love Really Stand the test of Time?
