Incest Marriage?
Irish incest couple plan to marry
They only found out after DNA test By PATRICK COOPER,IrishCentral.com Staff Writer Larger Text PrintE-mailNewsletter 15 Comments An Irish couple, who recently found out they were siblings, will be getting married this month. An Irish incest couple, who never knew they shared the same father when they met, plan to get married later this month. They already have a child together after meeting in a nightclub and falling in love. The man known only as James, never knew his real biological father and says he was prevented from finding out by authorities. "The way I see it, if the system can know about things and hide the facts, then I can do the same — they turned a blind eye and so can we," the man, told the Irish Mail. It is forbidden in Irish law for siblings to marry each other. "People can criticize and say it is not right, but they should say the same about what was done to me in the family law courts."James said.

There are public health reasons to ban incest, regardless of whether they are of consenting age or not. It's not consent/capacity that is the issue.

Yes, I would agree with that. States (not the federal government) would have the basic police powers, I think, to continue to disallow homosexual unions. Whether that prohibits the equal protection clause is another story, but I certainly don't think the federal government should be able to refuse to recognize homosexual unions. It's not really a federal question (i.e. DOMA should be ruled unConstitutional).

Closer question. Legally, sure whatever. The reality is that states do have a legitimate interest, I think, in prohibiting bigamy/polygamy. Those arguments are between the homosexual arguments (which were just pathetic) and the incest/pedophilia ones (which I think are very strong).

I'm assuming you're anti gay marriage and that is causing this absurd effort to pin that label on everyone in this discussion? If so, then you should know that the reason the fight over homosexual unions is over is because it was weak from the start. Barely better than defending miscegenation laws.

Basically, for banning the legal recognition of polygamy the arguments would probably rely on evidence from fundamental LDS cults and how the women basically become meek, brainwashed sex slaves.

There is no rational reason to ban same-sex marriage. People are only "agin' it cuz the bible tole us it were a sin" There are strong, psychological and public-health reasons to ban recognition of all of these other objectionable marriages that will easily survive any challenge.

I don't see anything wrong with it save for a more 40 year old virgins.

Regarding this specific case, hey if they didn't know, and the reason they didn't know is because the state refused to tell the man who his father is, well... I can sympathize with his position.

I would still be cleaning out my mouth and taking hourly showers knowing it was my sister.
