Maybe it was intentional - they are misinformed about the state of the law but nonetheless are willing to risk it for love, while we, the audience, worry about the consequences of their having incomplete information. You know, kind of like Romeo and Juliet.

The FATHER was the one yelling the most about it being illegal, and I think it does not fit well with his character that he would never look it up to make sure it was illegal. Or that they would not mention the non-illegality of it in a later show, after the father has backed off and sort of gone along with the relationship. They may have done that, and I missed that show.
Romeo and Juliet. Please.
