newscaper,

The requirement for two unrelated adults, i.e., not married to each other, is due to a legal rule of evidence that spouses cannot be compelled to testify against each other. The idea here is that, if the husband molests a kid, his wife can’t be compelled to testify against him as to what she saw.

Lawyers could therefore argue that having a husband and wife supervise kids in the church nursery is the same as having the husband alone do it.
