This was in the 1996 update to the Nolo Press general law book.

In South Carolina and Tennessee, if two fit parents request custody of
the child, and the child is of "tender years" (generally 5 and under),
such child must be awarded to the Mother.

That's right, South CArolina is one of two statues which enforce this
publically funded sexist law.

Like I said.  Equality has nothing to do with it.  Special rights and
priveleges is what is being pursued.
