Do you really believe that "liberals" and homosexuals are to blame for Alabama allowing first cousins to marry?
And by the way- marriage between an Uncle and a Niece is still illegal in NY
The judges declared that while marriages between uncles and nieces or aunts and nephews were expressly forbidden, there was no such prohibition on half-uncles and half-nieces becoming husband and wife. Like first cousins, those in such unions will share an average of around one-eighth of the same DNA.
Why are judges suddenly discussing how closely one is related by blood as a disqualifier? I thought people could adopt? I'd say if one of the people at least agrees to have a tubal ligation or a vasectomy, who is a judge to tell these people they cannot be married? What about polygamists who aren't related? Why are their 'civil rights' being trampled?
