Pippin:
I'd like to think so. But...

Laws in a police state *are* mushy; they mean whatever the
enforcers want them to mean. All it would take is one vindictive
official who doesn't like the idea of a muggle/witch marriage
to make Eileen's life hell one way or another. And from what
we've been reading, there would have been dozens. The point
is not which laws they could use to harrass Eileen, the point is
they'd want to.

If Harry Potter could be subject to government harrassment, 
then it must have been positively routine for everyone else.
