Oops: Arkansas legislature pushes through law without reading it carefully, allows kids to marry. "It's clearly not the intent to allow 10-year-olds or 11-year-olds to get married," said Rep. Will Bond, the bill's sponsor. "The legislation was screwed up."

There's still a problem even if the extraneous "not" is removed. Since the revised version would read, "a person who is younger than eighteen (18) years of age and who is pregnant", boys who knock up their girlfriend would still need to wait until they are 18 -- unless there's been some advance in medicine I didn't hear about.
