Frenchman wins legal right to marry his ex-stepmother

Elisabeth Lorentz to tie knot with Eric Holder after divorcing his father despite French law banning such unions

Elisabeth Lorentz will marry Eric Holder

 

A former stepson and stepmother are finally due to tie the knot on Saturday after fighting for months with French authorities for the right to marry.

Elisabeth Lorentz, 48, will marry Eric Holder, three years her junior, in the small village of Dabo in Alsace-Lorraine, northeastern France.

She was previously married to Mr Holder's father but the couple are not blood relatives. Nonetheless, French law prohibits all unions between stepchildren and step-parents – even former ones.

The couple pleaded their case through the courts right up to the Elysee Palace, only to receive a signed letter from President Francois Hollande last year reconfirming that such marriages are banned.

They finally obtained the right to marry from a local court in north-east France in June. The prosecutor's office opposed the decision but did not appeal.

The name 'Eric Holder' is one that is becoming synonymous with working against a nation's most cherished laws and the foundations of its culture.

When I was 17, one of my friends’ step-mom was very hot - and 19.

IOW, this sort of thing is not necessarily as crazy as it sounds on the surface. I’m not commenting on the morality of it, though...

Hey, at my age, if she can cook, clean house, do my laundry, wash my car and not complain about all the softball I play, we can cuddle all she wants.........

They make such a lovely couple. “Love” isn’t only when you sneak into America to freeload off the backs of the U.S. taxpayers. “Love” also happens when you marry your “ex-stepmother”. It’s a world of “Love” going on out there. All You Need Is Love.

So your friend’s dad married a 19 year old girl, somebody young enough to be his daughter? Wow.

Well, if she was hot, I guess we can see some of what the dad saw in her. But I wonder sometimes, what does the girl see in the older man when they hook up with somebody so much older?
