There are a few different reports out there, so here is one from CNN:

A Texas man who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge of punching his girlfriend's ex was given a choice between marrying her or going to jail for the crime.

Josten Bundy, 21, pleaded guilty on July 2 to assault with bodily injury, stemming from a brawl he had with the former boyfriend of Elizabeth Jaynes back in February.

Smith County Judge Randall Rogers then gave him a choice between two years of probation or 15 days in jail, according to Jaynes, 19.

The probation terms included requiring Bundy to write out a Bible verse 25 times a day ("If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it." -- Proverbs 26:27), and getting married within 30 days.

"We figured he'd get probation but were surprised about the other conditions, especially the marriage," Jaynes told CNN on Friday.

"Then the the judge asked Josten if I was worth it and if we were living together, and we both said 'yes.' When the judge said part of the probation was that we had to get married Josten smiled at me and I was turning red.

Bundy told CNN affiliate KLTV, "(Rogers) offered me 15 days in jail and that would have been fine and I asked if I could call my job [to let them know]," said Bundy. "The judge told me 'Nope, that's not how this works.'"

God Bless America.

This is just the start, of course. Hick judges today, mainstream liberal judges tomorrow. The wiser members of this forum are correct. Eventually the government is going to force men to marry dried-up harpies. It's just a matter of time before this goes mainstream. I wonder how many other things the Judge did over the years like this?
