A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning.If that were true, blood relatives would be marrying each other to save on taxes. You said so yourself.Except that it doesn't since the spirit of that law is to void consanguineous marriages. That hasn't changed even though Iowa has not updated their laws regarding same-sex marriage; though as you've been shown, such a bill is on the docket.What he points out has nothing to do with gender. Oops, there goes another idiocy of yours.
But Iowa 595.19 does.
I know trolling is you're thing
But at least try.
And as always, Iowa still says they don't allow any such marriages regardless of gender...
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF APPLICANTS TO READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING APPLICATION!
Iowa law provides that marriage is a civil contract between two persons who are (1) 18 years of age or older; (2) not already married to each other or still legally married to someone else; (3) not closely related by blood or first cousins; and (4) legally competent to enter into a civil contract.
Spirit my ass!
You don't need "spirit" when you have the words.
Those are specific in Iowa 595.19.
595.19 VOID MARRIAGES.
1. Marriages between the following persons who are related by
blood are void:
a. Between a man and his father's sister, mother's sister,
daughter, sister, son's daughter, daughter's daughter, brother's
daughter, or sister's daughter.
b. Between a woman and her father's brother, mother's
brother, son, brother, son's son, daughter's son, brother's son, or
sister's son.
c. Between first cousins.
2. Marriages between persons either of whom has a husband or wife
living are void, but, if the parties live and cohabit together after
the death or divorce of the former husband or wife, such marriage
shall be valid.
And again, not just me, it's five legal experts that back me up.
Same sex siblings can legally be married in Iowa.
Logical falicy.
Iowa does not require blood nor DNA testing for a license.
But back to the fun fact:
If an opposite sex sibling couple were found closely blood related, the state would void their license.
If both were same sex, the license would be valid.
There is no flaw in reasoning to assume people would take advantage of a tax loophole. Even you said they would. There is no flaw in my reasoning for the strawman reasons you invent as I said nothing about blood or DNA testing to get a license.
If such a loophole existed, family members would marry each other to take advantage of it. You said so yourself.
