A second bill dealing with marriage for people with guardians was introduced in March by Sen. Glenn Steil, R-Grand Rapids. It would permit a person with a guardian to marry while giving the guardian the opportunity to object. The bill is in a Senate committee and is expected to be worked on this summer. People with guardians are considered legally incapacitated and therefore unable to enter into contracts. But Kathleen Harris, Huizar's attorney, said the contract of marriage is not like a financial contract.
Marriage is a fundamental right.
Jacqueline Garcia said she remembers when her daughter told her she wanted to marry. She wasn't concerned about the possibility of children, because her daughter is physically unable to have them. But there were other concerns. I wanted to observe them. She said she did and was won over.
