LAW: A man may not seduce a woman by lying, and claiming he will marry her

I personally love the verb usage - obtain carnal knowledge. Like it's something you can just go out and get.

I don't think we studied enough of carnal epistemology in Jordan's class.

I think you were supposed to study that outside of class.

Wow, that's not just any criminal offense--it's a felony!

Its a state law. I don't see where it says its a felony.

I assume that it's a felony because it is punishable by up to five years in prison. I don't know what the "cut-off point" is between a misdemeanor and a felony in Mississippi, but I have a hard time believing that it's more than five years. Black's Law Dictionary defines a felony as a crime punishable by more than a year, and in Massachusetts, a crime punishable by 2.5 years or more is a felony.
