Alabama Senate passes bill to abolish marriage licensing!
MONTGOMERY, Alabama (PNN) - March 17, 2016 - The Alabama Senate passed a revived version of a bill on Tuesday with a 23 to 3 vote that would end marriage licensing in the state in an effort to resolve ongoing disputes over same-sex marriage.
If SB143 were to become law, couples would no longer have to seek permission to marry from a probate office and would instead file their own contracts with the state.
