Nope, you're still wrong as Iowa law also prohibits marriage to couples too close through affinity...Keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, Iowa states otherwise...You're too fucking retarded.
You're argument is now reduced to ... Iowa doesn't allow close-family marriage but if such couples can trick the government into not knowing they're related, then they can marry each other even though the law forbids such marriages.
Dumbfuck.... that has always been the case in every state since the birth of this nation. It certainly has nothing to do with same-sex marriages becoming legal.![]()
I've said it before, frame you're own debate, you're lousy at framing mine.
Iowa law allows the legal marriage of blood related immediate family members.
I've backed my opinion with at least 5 legal experts.
That debate has been won by me.
You lose again
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF APPLICANTS TO READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING APPLICATION!
Iowa law provides that marriage is a civil contract between two persons who are (1) 18 years of age or older; (2) not already married to each other or still legally married to someone else; (3) not closely related by blood or first cousins; and (4) legally competent to enter into a civil contract.
Yet your discredited pamphlet can lead to the truth, which is:
595.19 VOID MARRIAGES.
1. Marriages between the following persons who are related by
blood are void:
a. Between a man and his father's sister, mother's sister,
daughter, sister, son's daughter, daughter's daughter, brother's
daughter, or sister's daughter.
b. Between a woman and her father's brother, mother's
brother, son, brother, son's son, daughter's son, brother's son, or
sister's son.
c. Between first cousins.
2. Marriages between persons either of whom has a husband or wife
living are void, but, if the parties live and cohabit together after
the death or divorce of the former husband or wife, such marriage
shall be valid.
All means same sex family can marry.
Iowa's marriage application instructions are not "discredited" simply because you believe them to be. In fact, Iowa still uses them and urges all applicants to read them.
And look... such marriages, in accordance with Iowa law, are banned...

Then step parents can Marry the stepdaughter because your pamphlet doesn't mention affinity marriage.
The law ACTUALLY a does reference blood marriage, like such:
595.19 VOID MARRIAGES.
1. Marriages between the following persons who are related by
blood are void:
a. Between a man and his father's sister, mother's sister,
daughter, sister, son's daughter, daughter's daughter, brother's
daughter, or sister's daughter.
b. Between a woman and her father's brother, mother's
brother, son, brother, son's son, daughter's son, brother's son, or

c. Between first cousins.

AND, I've posted 5 (count em 5) legal experts that back me up. That same sex blood related family members can Marry in Iowa.
You, well we can expect Skylar to show up with his stupid ass crap again.....
But sadly, you won't supply a single legal expert to back up you're argument.
