Therein lies the problem. If “any” man can marry “any” other man—using the logic that consent is all that’s required—then what is the legal reason that two siblings of the same sex cannot? How about Father/Son?

Sick, but not if your motivation is to subvert certain tax law. A spouse isn’t subject to inheritance taxes.

The same thing can happen if two men want to marry for similar spousal benefits.

You raise a very good point. There would be nothing to prevent two heterosexual men (or two heterosexual women) from having a marriage on paper so as take advantage of spousal benefits. It can be used as quite a dandy hustle for benefits.
