Louisiana Incest Law

[guarino]

Does anyone know how closely related is too closely related when it comes to incest in the state of Louisiana?

YOU ARE SICK

If you have to come on a forum to ask that question than most likely YOUR TOO CLOSELY RELATED!!!!!
There are millions of people in this country you have no need to keep it in the family!!!!!

Louisiana Code:
"Art. 90. Impediments of relationship

The following persons, whether legitimate or illegitimate, may not contract marriage with each other:

Ascendants and descendants. Collaterals within the fourth degree, whether of the whole or of the half blood.

The impediment exists whether the persons are related by consanguinity or by adoption. Nevertheless, persons related by adoption, though not by blood, in the
collateral line within the fourth degree may marry each other if they obtain judicial authorization in writing to do so."

That was otherwise known as the Redneck Rule.

thanks, peanut section...

Look, I met this guy for the first time in my life at a family reunion. He is the grandson of my great great uncle; the great nephew of my great grandmother. Some people wouldn't even consider him family. It's a shame, but probably more than 80% of the posts on this board are just ignorant comments that do not contribute. To the person who actually did help, thanks!
