• An anonymous New York resident seeking to marry their adult child filed suit in federal court in Manhattan on April 1 asking that laws barring incestuous marriage be overturned, Fox News reported.
In court papers, the petitioner claims such a marriage is a matter of "individual autonomy" and asks to remain unnamed because "a large segment of society views (the request) as morally, socially and biologically repugnant."
The petitioner is a parent of an adult child, but court documents do not reveal the couple's genders, ages, hometown or relationship.
The filing does detail that the "proposed spouses are unable to procreate together."
Manhattan family and matrimonial law attorney Eric Wrubel predicted, "It's never gonna fly." [Fox News, 4/12/2021]
