1. There's also "fair practices" and "selective prosecution
I suggested that someone do a search of out-of-state marriages that violate laws from other states that were still on the books.

For example, some states forbid marrying "drunkards" or the "mentally enfeebled."

Until 2000, inter-racial marriage was still technically illegal in Alabama.

My idea was to file suits with the states to have those "illegal" marriages nullified, and prosecute the clerks that sanctioned them.
