| | | Wife's daughter
My wife has a daughter (now age 27, she was 22 on our wedding day) from a previous relationship who is not living with us in the state of Massachusetts. I could not adopt her upon marrying her mother, since at that time she was already an adult. She and I are rather fond of each other. God forbid it should happen since I love my wife, but if she should die or divorce me, would I be legally allowed to marry her daughter? |

Sadly, yes you would be allowed to marry her.
I had to add though that it's morally wrong. If you "love" your wife, why would you even consider that? |

Section 1. No man shall marry his mother, grandmother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, stepmother, grandfather’s wife, grandson’s wife, wife’s mother, wife’s grandmother, wife’s daughter, wife’s granddaughter, brother’s daughter, sister’s daughter, father’s sister or mother’s sister.
Just curious, does your wife have any idea just how fond you are of her daughter? |

Does anybody else here feel a little sick to their stomachs?

| | | You said that the two of you are "fond of each other"......just how "fond" are you??? The fact that you are even THINKING about marriage tells me that there has to be something going on between the two of you.
And how old is the daughter? |

Just curious, does your wife have any idea just how fond you are of her daughter? | The whole situation is just WRONG in so many ways, but I'm not sure if that law would apply if the wife is dead. Technically, they would no longer be married, so the girl would no longer be his step-daughter. I don't think there is a law against 2 unrelated people getting married, no matter how sick the situation is. He could always pack up the family and move to Arkansas, he could probably be married to both of them at the same time there.
