Marriages Not Legal Alderman Wright's Court House Claim
Alderman Wright asserts that marriages performed at the courthouse are not legally binding. He contends the practice lacks proper authorization and vows to seek clarification from city authorities. Local officials reiterated existing legal procedures for solemnizing marriages.
Marriage rites clash with city law say Alderman Wright
Alderman C B Wright argues only he can legally perform marriages in the county court house and hold police court in the municipal building. He contends the law forbids officials from acting outside their bailiwicks, while other aldermen and justices have conducted ceremonies and police court in other wards. The dispute could affect many couples, forcing them to revalidate their titles and faces potential delays and confusion.
