Father and Daughter plan to wed/Move to NJ

[Hit Girl]

They say they are not worried about their kids having genetic problems.

She added that “incest has been around as long as humans have” and “everybody just needs to deal with it.”

Come now. I'm sure that by having sex with her father, she's really just saying that she really wants to start smoking cigars- it's perfectly normal.

Don't let him off the hook. He is certainly taking advantage of her

He clearly has mental issues as well though, so if we are using that argument he could also be a victim.

Exactly. It's so easy to paint the father as being a controlling, mentally abusive man who's only interested in taking advantage of his vulnerable daughter, but this guy probably isn't all there himself. The fact that they've found a specific place is a little weird, but still.

Well yeah, I don't know. This is a whole new level of screwed up.

Near as I can tell, New Jersey may not pursue charges (making it effectively legal), they still cannot marry anywhere in the US. New Jersey lets first cousins marry (as do many other states), but every state and US territory bans marriage between ancestor and descendant.

I was surprised when I learned that MS is one of the few deep South states that doesn't allow first cousins to marry. We might be the fattest state and last place or near to last place in public education. But at least we don't allow cousins to get married.

I was completely unaware of any such law in my state

Just imagine the number of one branch family trees you might have encountered.

[Mid-Carder]

He needs to be locked up. He's a threat to society.

[Hit Girl]

They should be allowed to marry.

Otherwise they might marry other people, and ruin their lives too.

[J is Justice]

I don't know what's worse... a father and daughter want to get married, or that it's legal in New Jersey.

Disgusting, that sort of thing should be kept to Florida.

[chazraps]

I read the whole story and feel so bad for that girl. All 18-year-olds make bad decisions, but he entire life has been one terrible inescapable element to the next. From her numerous abusive step-fathers to her actual father not being around, it's just horrible she's had to suffer through so much. I really hope she finds the help she clearly needs.

[edgestar]

She said "deal with it".... Maybe a meeting with Batista could sway her away from marrying her dad??

[Glitch]

The part that really bothers me is the kids part. Bringing children into this world with genetic defects for their parents selfish reasons.
Two consenting adults can do whatever depraved thing they wish, but now they involve innocent people.

[Father Dougal McGuire]

You know, when it comes down to what 2 or more consenting adults do in the privacy in their own home is no business of mine, but this just seems skeevy.

[Deleted]

So the father abandons her. Finds out she has had a bad time without him, and then shows up and takes advantage of her. He is a piece of shit.

She is just another stupid teen crying "I do what I want"

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Yes! Turns out my Bruce and Pamela Springsteen fantasies were legal this whole time
