Well, not really. But maybe!
Can you marry your cousin? It's an interesting question.
In some states, YES, you CAN marry your first cousin! In other states - it's a no-no, forbidden.
Now HOW and WHY was this state of affairs (or marriages, be it whatever) allowed to exist? How and why did states HAVE THE RIGHT to determine under what conditions marriage was allowable?
Because it was RECOGNIZED by the federal government that equal protection WAS NOT VIOLATED by such marriages!
Thoughts? Ideas?
(btw, my cousin is kind of cute, but she's just not my type...) ;-)
Yeah that worked out well. They have a child and in his overjoyed state while driving cashes his chips in.
Egyptian Pharoahs and their spouses were brothers and sisters more often than not.
