Scots can now marry mothers-in-law
Feb. 9, 2005- Scottish men can now marry their ex-mothers-in-law following legal changes by the Scottish Executive.
Scottish women are also free to marry their former fathers-in-law as a result of the changes, reports the Herald.
The family law reforms change laws dating back to 1567, based on the Old Testament, which said that if a man takes a wife and lies with her mother, all three should be burned alive.
The new law draws a new distinction between the continuing ban on marrying a blood relative, and the centuries-old ban on marrying those related "by affinity".
It was previously possible to marry a parent-in-law, but only after the death of both former spouses.
The Scots Law Commission recommended the change saying it made no sense and was unreasonable to retain the old law.
Just damn.

EEEEwwwww!
Marrying your mother-in-law? Talk about a special private Hell. From the people who gave us haggis and bagpipes, now this.
Why the hell would anyone WANT to do this?
OK, maybe not burned alive .... but he surely should have his head examined.
Somebody who wants their ex-wife to renegotiate child support payments?
Arlene, is this true?
Bill Whyman's Law
That would make your ex-wife your daughter-in-law. EWWWWW!
OK,
If you married Lisa Marie,
You could marry Pricilla Presley.
If you married Wynona ,
You could marry Naomi Judd
If you married Alexa Ray,
You could marry Christie Brinkley.
It ain't all bad.
Like son, like father.
Crikey! This is sick! (unless of course your M-I-L happens to be really, really, hot)
J.K.!!!
Heritage ping.
So Fiona can divorce young MacDonald and then marry his Dad, old MacDonald. O-kee dokee.
Try again.
The MILF Law
So let me gets this right. If your father remarries and then has a son, that's your half-brother. If you then marry that mother you will be both his half-brother and father-in-law. If you then get divorced, and gay marriages are legal, you can then marry your brother because you were his father-in-law...
OTOH if you married Chelsea, you could marry Hillary.
I suppose your reply suggests you are not going to be the campaign chair for getting this legislation in the US?
Somebody had way too much Dewar's.
