Quickie Marriages Banned In Georgia After August 25th
ATLANTA UP Five months and 19 days from now Georgia will end quickie marriages as a premarital examination law takes effect on August 25. The measure imposes a three to five day waiting period and requires physical exams and serological blood tests for syphilis for all applicants. Public Health officials say final blood test results will take three to five days. Georgia lawmakers argue the law curbs casual nuptials and helps reduce disease transmission, while critics say it makes licenses and ceremonies harder to obtain.
