NC Law Could Be Unconstitutional

A 200-year-old law against unmarried couples living together is being challenged in court.
Burgaw, NC -- Should North Carolina's 200-year-old law against unmarried couples living together be rejected as unconstitutional?

Oral arguments in a lawsuit filed by the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union to overturn the law are scheduled for Monday, July 17 in Pender County superior court.

The ACLU filed the suit last year on behalf of a former Pender County sheriff's dispatcher.

Deborah Hobbs said she quit her job in 2004 after Sheriff Carson Smith said she must get married or stop living with her boyfriend if she wanted to work in his office.

Smith's lawyer has said the sheriff was merely enforcing the law.

Attorney General Roy Cooper argues that the lawsuit lacks merit in part because such challenges to a criminal statute have only been allowed when there is an actual criminal case.
