OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A lawmaker is proposing two laws involving marriage. One incentivizes it, the other, he says, will curb the state’s divorce rate, which ranks fifth in the country.
However, opponents say this is an example of the state overstepping its bounds.
One proposal requires couples to attend marriage counseling before they can file for a divorce.
The other gives a tax credit to married couples with kids, as long as it is their biological child.
“The Covenant Marriage Act allows people to opt into a marriage that is more along the lines of what marriage is supposed to be, which is ’til death do us part,’” Deevers said.
Senate Bill 228, known as the Covenant Marriage Act, would require couples to sign a declaration of intent upon marriage.
It also makes it harder to get a divorce. Any struggle during the marriage would require counseling.
The only way a divorce would be granted is if a spouse can prove abandonment of at least a year, or abuse, or adultery.
