Legal Question in Criminal Law in Utah
In 1998 I my fianc� and I applied for and was approved by a judge for a marriage license. She was 15, I was 23. After the marriage license was granted we had a marriage ceremony, but the individual who performed our ceremony was not legally authorized to do so, so the marriage license was never submitted. We engaged in sex; then the relationship ended very shortly after. I understand that normally the ages alone constitute statutory rape, but would it still be considered a crime considering the judge approval for marriage? (I know it is beyond statute of limitations, just wondering if it was a criminal act at the time)
