Get married in CA. Then get arrested in WI.

BAD DAY FOR WISCONSIN GAYS - There’s a badger and bear fight going on the sore subject of marriage equality. An obscure state law in Wisconsin (The Badger State) makes it a crime for WI residents to marry in another state (ie CA), if the marriage is prohibited in WI (which it is).

The law imposes a penalty for those who enter into a marriage that’s prohibited or declared void in Wisconsin of up to $10,000 and nine months in prison. [JS Online]
