There is someone out there in the Federal Government going OH SH&^ Jeremy Irons, if the SCOTUS lets states decide they they can have same sex marriage we might just lose 100s of millions of dollars in estate taxes....
But can a Mother marry a son right now and have no sex which means no incest and evade Estate taxes?
I dont know.
Very interesting. The key is that people are linking sex with marriage through assumption only. Thus a sex less marriage between parent and offspring would not be incest, since the sex part is the definition of incest. With careful planning estates could be passed down from generation to generation without a dime of taxes being paid. The government would never collect a dime from anyone who planned ahead.
Marriage would devolve from a loving union of man and women into a tax shelter scheme. When polygamy is declared constitutionally protected in the near future, marriage will become another name for a will. What we know as true marriage will become something with a different name. A person in the future will marry everyone mentioned in their will, and be (fill in the blank) with the one they love.
