Georgia court strikes down law against unmarried sex

ATLANTA - The Georgia Supreme Court has struck down a 130-year-old law banning sex outside marriage. <br> <br> The court ruled Tuesday that Georgia&#39;s long-standing but little-enforced fornication law was unconstitutional because it invaded on the privacy rights of anyone old enough to consent to sex. <br> <br> The case involved two 16-year-olds who were caught having sex in September 2001. Under Georgia law, the age of consent is 16. <br> <br> The court said parents still have a right to rule their homes, including who enters it and under what circumstances. But that doesn&#39;t mean people abandon their constitutional right to privacy when they enter as guests into someone else&#39;s private home.
