Here is a month old
CNN report on the law.
With shame, I note that Oklahoma has passed such a law - and apparently Missouri is considering one too.
The proponents refer to a case in New Jersey in which a trial court gave a husband a pass on beating his wife because his religion allowed him to do so. What the proponents don't mention is that the trial judge's decision was reversed by the court of appeals.
Here is the
text of the bill. I would be interested in knowing the source of the first several pages of allegations that are used to support the bill. Looking at it quickly, I didn't see anything about wife-beating.
BTW, I will give research lessons for the paltry sum of $500 per person.
