Proposed Tennessee Bill Would Create 'Alternative Form Of Marriage'

House Bill 233 introduces a new class of common law marriage in Tennessee, specifically for a man and a woman, catering to those with religious objections to current marriage laws. While not explicitly targeting the LGBTQ+ community, it effectively excludes them. The bill is supported by conservative groups but faces opposition for implying that same-sex marriages devalue traditional marriage. Controversy arose when the bill initially lacked a minimum age requirement, potentially legalizing child marriage, prompting efforts to amend it.
