WASHINGTON, D.C. — With the Respect for Marriage Bill to codify gay marriage nearing final passage, Representative Ilhan Omar has asked for an additional amendment to allow another form of marriage people might want to take advantage of from time to time.

"Hey guys, I dunno, can we add, let's say, 'marriage to your own brother' to the list of officially recognized marriages?" said the Congresswoman from Minneapolis. "Like, say, if you want to rig the immigration system in your favor by marrying a relative, maybe we should just go ahead and legalize it, just in case. Not that I would do that myself, don't be silly."

The congresswoman has requested the new law be retroactive to cover anyone who may have engaged in this activity in the early 2000s. "That would ensure we, ya know, cover our bases and stuff," she said.

Senator Mitch McConnell condemned the proposed change, adding that sibling marriage only works in his home state of Kentucky and shouldn't be rolled out nationwide.

At publishing time, Mitt Romney also requested a last-minute amendment legalizing polygamy.

Well, she was married to her brother before. Sounds like they had quite a sexual relationship. I mean, I love my sisters and my cousins, but.......Yeah, not that way LOL

I knew this one was the Bee before I clicked on it.

Figured it was The Bee just by the headline.
But I did have to check.

They had me into the 3rd paragraph. I caught on then!

Slightly off topic question.
If I were to marry Ilhan and convert to Islam, could I legally beat her with a stick no larger than my thumb?

[KarlInOhio]

Might I suggest a regime of thumb exercises and perhaps even thumb steroids.

I figured it would be; Allow every man to have four wives and maybe some concubines and a few Bachi Boys

I think you’re trying to set me up for a joke
about Girlene and Methany, who technically
ain’t no kin to me, mostly.
