Illegal marriage between members of different races.

Typically a felony, miscegenation laws prohibit the solemnization of weddings between races and prohibit the officiating of such ceremonies.

The individuals attempting to marry would not be held guilty of miscegenation themselves, but felony charges of adultery or fornication would more usually be leveled against them.
