In quite a few US states anti-miscegenation laws are still on the books. You would hardly find a lawyer or judge to take the case but most haven't been removed, yet. If you told a interracial couple that what they are doing is "illegal" you'd rightly be laughed at.



Still on the books is different from still having force of law. Supreme Court’s Loving v. Virginia voids all miscegenation statutes whether they are repealed or not.


That’s because there’s case law.
