Representative Morgan Kellerman (D-CA), who was one of the WWA's original sponsors, stated:<blockquote>'''''<big>"Who a woman chooses to date, marry or have sex with is her own business. Not her employer's. A woman can be in love or even married, and still do her job competently. She should be judged on the quality of her work, and not her relationship status."</big>'''''</blockquote>Individual states have had differing interpretations of the WWA. In California, Oregon and Washington, employers are not permitted to enquire about a candidate's relationship status during the interview process. On the other hand, Texas, Florida and Tennessee, maintain public registers of marriages which allows employers to digitally verify an applicant's marital status.

	~~In 2048, the~~ US ~~District Court~~ for ~~the Northern District of Illinois ruled in~~ ''~~KKR~~ v ~~Blythe~~'' that ~~a Private Valet who contracts to provide blanket consent with~~ the ~~knowledge that she is unlikely to be able to fulfil her contractual obligations is liable for fraudulent misrepresentation. The defendant~~, Cassandra Blythe, ~~had a medical condition that made~~ her ~~susceptible to frequent urinary tract infections~~, ~~and failed to disclose this to~~ her ~~employer. As a result, she was medically unable~~ to ~~have sex with her principal for three out of ten weeks~~ that she ~~was employed~~. ~~She was ordered to pay compensation~~ of ~~$120,000 to KKR~~ a ~~further $120,000 to her principal, Byron Carter~~.		The US does not make exceptions for "degrading and humiliating" sexual acts, and holds Private Valets accountable to their contracts. In ''Blythe v Sentinel Partners'', a federal appellate court ruled that the plaintiff, Cassandra Blythe, was not excused from the "unconditional blanket consent" clause in her contract simply because her principal, Byron Carter, instructed her to perform an act that she deemed to be degrading. The court ruled that the issue of whether a particular act is degrading is subjective and a matter of opinion.
