Amy Duggar is Jim Bob and Michelle’s niece, and she enjoys pointing out that she’s not their daughter every chance that she gets.

Last month, Amy confirmed that she was born out of wedlock, much (we imagine) to her famous uncle’s chagrin.

Shortly thereafter, Amy informed the world that Jim Bob was "not going to control" her in what may have been the most defiant Duggar interview to date.

This week, Amy continued to show her rebellious side by posting a photo of herself kissing her boyfriend on Instagram.

That may not seem like a big deal, but the operative word there is "boyfriend." That’s not Amy’s husband. In fact, she’s only been dating this guy for three months. 

So yeah, a photo like that is a big no-no in Jim Bob’s world.

According to the Duggar rules of courtship, just about all physical contact before marriage is forbidden.

In fact, on their Facebook page, Jim Bob and Michelle asked for photos of married couples kissing as a way of celebrating the fact that puckering up was for married folks only.

So we think it’s safe to say that Amy knew it would probably get her uncle’s goat when she posted this photo.

It’s telling that she also posted a quote reading, "Sometimes the nicest people you meet re covered in tattoos and sometimes the most judgmental people you meet go to church on Sundays."
