Because Iowa doesn't allow such marriages. They never have. The spirit of the law doesn't change because parts of their law are ruled unconstitutional.The male/female restriction was lifted in Iowa 6 years ago. Yet no same-sex family marriages. Obergefell doesn't change that.Why would I cite Obergefell in this case? Why would you? Obergefell has nothing to do with it. As you pointed out, same-sex marriage has been legal in Iowa for 6 years now and you can't find a single married couple who are closely related by blood.So? The law you cite also says marriage is between a man and a woman. That's why it's being amended to be in accordance with Supreme Court rulings.
The state still doesn't allow same-sex immediate family marriages.
You want more proof? You can't cite a single such marriage because they are not allowed.
I proved the legality.
You imply that because the USSC struck down the man/woman section of the law that some how magically it could pick and choose the rest.
Cite the section of Obergfell that does that.
Proposing a change, and getting it through commitee, two chambers of the legislature and signed by Governor (and constitutional review of Attorney General)........
Are two completely different things.
Iowa has had same sex marriage since 2009.
In case you haven't noticed, it 2015. They've had six years to fix this and have not.
Cite Obergfell. It could save you're failed argument. If you can't. You lose........
Again
Six years. Six years and no change to the law in six years. The courts only ordered the removal of the qualification of male/female.
The denied couples are contained in the list in iowa 595.
Link below.
Iowa Code 595
Those are the couples that cannot be too closely related.
They had six years to redline the list, they did not. They SPECIFIACALLY explain which pairs can't be too closely related.
Try again. This is standing law. All the courts overturned was male/female exclusivity to marry
Does it make you feel better that you proved your own dumbfuckery?
Post one thing that you say proved same sex siblings can't marry in Iowa after posting a proposed law that would make marrying a same sex sibling illegal (so it must be legal)
God you are lame
You are providing proof your own argument is false
And that's best described as desperate dumbfuckery.
And again, I point out you can't find a single close-family marriage. Strange, huh?
