Can’t marry a first cousin either. Can’t marry a minor. Can’t...

After the Lawrence v. Texas supreme court activist decision, there was an adult couple (in their twenties) who were being charged with incest (I think the woman, who was a year or two older, was pregnant) and they weren’t even related (they were both adopted into a family).

Don’t see the “let them love” crowd take up their case.

Just a few corrections weegee

> Can’t marry a first cousin either

Depends on the state, about two dozen allow first cousins to marry.

> Can’t marry a minor.

Again, depends on the state. It is possible in some states for females as young as 14 to get married. Stuff like that requires parental consent and sometimes permission of a court.
