In some states, there's a law stating that unmarried people of the opposite sex cannot live within the same living facilities. For the most part, this law is obsolete, as it was mostly enforced in the 1800s. However, nowadays, that same law is invoked on felons who are home-bound, even though it doesn't apply to most citizens. Rather strange use of a crazy law, huh?
