I read the bill. Apparently, "religious covenant" and "spiritual aspect" include underage sex and pregnancy.

2. Every person under the age of sixteen (16) years is expressly forbidden and prohibited from entering into the marriage relation except when authorized by the court:
a. in settlement of a suit for seduction or paternity, or
b. if the unmarried female is pregnant, or has given birth to an illegitimate child and at least one parent of each minor, or the guardian or custodian of such child, is present before the court and has an opportunity to present evidence in the event such parent, guardian, or custodian objects to the issuance of a marriage license. If they are not present the parent, guardian, or custodian may be given notice of the hearing at the discretion of the court.

He went through and edited the entire bill, but couldn't be bothered to delete everything from "except" to the end of the section? I suppose he has religion and tradition on his side, but still, if you object to the marriage between two adults of the same sex but not the marriage of two kids of the opposite sex, there's something seriously wrong with your value system.

Well, we already know there's something wrong with his value system, so there you go! ;p
