Marriage Not Being Recognized Leads to Deportation

A couple, who were married by proxy with the man in Iraq and the woman in Japan, are not having their marriage recognized by the United States. The man has since died in the war, while the wife wanted to raise their children in Tennessee with his family. There is a law from the Cold War era that states that proxy marriages are not valid unless the marriage has been consummated after the couple takes their vows. The woman is waiting for Congress to grant her permanent residency to raise her son, but there are private bills that must be dealt with in this matter which are generally frowned upon because they can be seen as showing favoritism.
