A 124- year old law may mean a Virginia woman will lose her business. 61 year-old Darlene Davis runs a day care in her home which she's shared with her boyfriend for the past 16 years. But Davis' business license expires next month - so state licensing officials are checking to see whether she is in violation of an 1877 law that prohibits cohabitation... or living with a boyfriend or girlfriend. If she is found to be in violation -- she may not get her license renewed. Davis has managed to avoid the problem in previous years by listing her boyfriend as a boarder or roommate.
