Your cousin is only “kind of cute”? Now you’ll be in trouble if she reads that.

Because it was considered incest?

In Islamic countries you and your brother could marry each other’s daughters.

I think, if I read this right, the real point is that previous SCOTUS decisions on the question of who may marry were left to the states...

Now that we are on the verge of the Supreme Court declaring a constitutional right to homosexual marriage, other marriage restrictions such as this cousin ban, will eventually fall. All it takes is for pressure groups to force the issue through the courts.

The liberals laugh and ridule anyone who has suggested that homosexual marriage will lead to polygamy or any other consequences. We will see. The underlying concept in homosexual marriage court cases has been that consenting adults who choose to live their lives together are entitled to marriage. The same concept can be applied to polygamy, incestuous marriage, group marriage ..... We will see in years ahead how far the liberals push this.

It’s OK if you’re “kissin’ cousins.”

Probably because when people marrying their cousin isn’t incredibly frequent like European nobility, it isn’t as gigantic of an issue. Maybe they also found such marriages so rare, that they didn’t find a need to make a law about it.

I think you can marry your first cousin in 11 states. GA and Fl and can’t remember the others. I also think in some states you have to be 55 or older to marry your first cousin so as not to reproduce. :-)
