The court dedicded that since half-uncles and half-nieces are as genetically related as first-cousins, and first-cousin marriage is legal in New York, then half-uncle-half-niece marriage should also be legal. The reporting (as reporting usually does) leaves out this seemingly minor but very important detail. (I've learned recently that you have to be very careful about over-interpreting stuff you find in the media, since important little facts like that can be left out.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853483266796310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601525188416837867.post-16267598535739113992015-10-25T10:54:11.659-04:002015-10-25T10:54:11.659-04:00To be fair, I absolutely do believe it's addit...To be fair, I absolutely do believe it's additionally heinous. Child sexual abuse of the intrafamilial variety has been known to be additionally traumatic. Family is supposed to be a safe, loving environment, and your family members are supposed to be the people you can trust most in this world. When that trust is breached like that, then, well, it's just easily one of the most messed up crimes imaginable.<br /><br />I've been reminded, marriage between aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews has been ruled legal in New York State last year.Mark Schultznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601525188416837867.post-3133964036426273162015-03-18T00:58:21.165-04:002015-03-18T00:58:21.165-04:00If you have any other suggestions for how the map ...If you have any other suggestions for how the map can be improved, please feel free.

If you look carefully at that article, they say that the new law only applies when the victim is below the age of majority and the perpetrator is above. It's specifically a crime with a victim. It's really just an extra thing for those child rape cases where they want to add extra time because they think that raping one's own child is additionally heinous. It has no effect on what consenting adults can or cannot do in France.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471853483266796310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601525188416837867.post-91930935242948608562015-03-17T22:54:36.348-04:002015-03-17T22:54:36.348-04:00I recently read that France has reinstated laws pr...I recently read that France has reinstated laws prohibiting incest.<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/7085759/France-makes-incest-a-crime.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
