Other valid and antiquated instances of this loop-hole: marry great-granddaughter/-son.
- maaku 13y agoThat's covered in the article (tl;dr: explicitly not allowed).
- dllthomas 13y agoWhere?
- lstamour 13y ago"How about a grandfather marrying a granddaughter? That’s prevented here in Massachusetts by MGL Ch. 207" and it goes on to list details.
- mooism2 13y agoBut it doesn't include great-granddaughter.
- lstamour 13y agoSigh. Too many greats (and hyphens). Thanks for the correction.
- dllthomas 13y agoI don't see "great" anywhere (as verified by a search) and I don't see anything that would amount to it ("daughter of grand-daughter" or similar, but that is harder to verify by search).
- lstamour 13y agoI feel like it's implied, but indeed I see that I mis-read the question. Given that newborns likely can't get married, I'm not sure how likely it is. It does occur to me, given a time machine, a lot of laws would have loopholes. ;-)
- dllthomas 13y agoIf every generation of a family marries and has kids as soon as marriage is legally permitted (15 in some states, if memory serves), one can theoretically be 60 when their great-grandchild becomes eligible for marriage. Unlikely, but certainly possible.
