Propose and your stuck with the bitch law.
In South Carolina, it is unlawful for a man to promise to marry an unwed woman and NOT go through with the marriage. Talk about a shotgun wedding!
Title 16 – Crimes and Offenses
CHAPTER 15.
OFFENSES AGAINST MORALITY AND DECENCY

i’m not a lawyer, but it sounds like it’s illegal to say you’re gonna marry a girl (to get her in the sack) and then not go through with the wedding after realizing that it was a lousy lay.

brolly09, He didn’t “steal” your virginity, you gave it away for a stupid promise. Did anyone ever tell you promises were made to be broken. Next time make sure he is a real man and not a boy. And I am sorry this happened to you.
