Judge: If woman marries, I will jail her

Mother of six faces charges of child neglect following blackout

Marriage would literally be a jail sentence for a 31-year-old Cork woman.

The woman, whose six children are in the care of the health board, faced sentencing yesterday for child neglect and the judge warned the accused, who is now engaged, that if she got married between now and the adjournment date in October she would be jailed.
