Technically, it is illegal for unmarried couples to live together in Florida. If you shack up with your boo without putting a ring on it first, you could face a second-degree misdemeanor and a $500 fine or up to 60 days in jail. The law has been on the books since sometime in the 1800s and is rarely enforced. But no one has bothered to try to repeal it until now.



A similar law hits cheating spouses with the same crime. The laws apply only to straight people, though. For once, Florida laws sort of benefit gay couples. Not that they have the option of getting married here, unfortunately.

Now Rep. Ritch Workman, a Republican from Melbourne, wants to overturn the law, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Though there are no recent examples of the cohabitation law being enforced, a Jacksonville man was nailed for adultery in 2006.
