This law in Ohio nedds changed . . . .
I believe in opposite sex marriage don't get me wrong. I believe in voicing for the children. So where do I draw the line at what age they are no longer children on Ohio? I say birth to 18 the child is a child. I alwasy believed that the law said the same thing. And then wham I found it to be a false belief. A false belief because Ohio does not look at our children in teen years as a child any longer. They prove they can have two faces to the law on the issue of sexual conduct by marriage. At 16 a female in Ohio is considered marriage age and sexual age. Although the laws have changed someone in the law making section forgot to tell OHIO that 16 gets you prison time even if the books say opposite. Now Im not trying to build a case for pedopilla of the pedophile at all. Nor am I trying to at all give them evidence as to why they should not be in jail. But what I am trying to do is get the OSBA to see that they have left a double standard open that could lead to more problems for OHIO. OSBA state clearly Male persons 18 years of age and female persons of 16 years of age, not near of kin than second cousins and not having a husband or wife, may be joined in marriage. Thua leaving a door open saying that 16 is okay to mess around with in Ohio. However another law says that one day before your 18th Birthday it is against the law to encounter sex with another in Ohio. So where does one draw the line? I say the need to recatagorize the laws on the books for OHIOs Children where this issue of concern lays. I say they need to get rid of old laws on the books that have been replaced by new laws each time one is placed into effect for Ohio. Rather than leave them on the books and open as an Active LAW. When reality shows Ohios just in one big double jeopardy mess with the old and new LAWS that now are collecting dust.
