SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A member of Utah's polygamous Kingston clan was sentenced Monday to a year in prison for taking a 15-year-old cousin -- who was also his aunt -- as his wife.

Some one explain to me how your cousin can also be your aunt. That is one tight knit "family":scratch:

Hmm, is that at all possible? Unless she became an aunt by marriage?

Because...

Aunt is your mom or dads sister.
Cousin is the child of an aunt...

Unless, I guess the scenario would be.

Moms sister births a daughter. Your cousin. Dads brother marries said cousin. Now your aunt. THen, because your morman and polygamist, she marries you? I guess?

How dare they impose their values on this loving couple! A marriage should be between any amount of kind of people, so long as they both want to be wed! This is another example of society being oppressive to alternative lifestyles!

Oh come on, Contra. A marriage between a fifteen year old and her cousin is on a totally different plane than a marriage between a same sex couple. I'm not sure what the legal age of consent in Utah is, but in California it is 16 with parental consent. That means her pa would have had to have given her permission to marry her cousin/nephew. That is disgusting on so many levels.

Sounds like someone here needs to learn some tolerance for alternative lifestyles! :mad: Why are you imposing your archaic values on us? Love is love. Stop pushing your morality on society! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: How dare you question sexual diversity! INCESTAPHOBE!

Contra, this is a forum for comical news stories, not for repetitive and annoying diatribes about homosexuality. STFU.

all incest laws prohibiting marriage between close relatives are based on reactionary, right-wing, discriminatory superstitions that prevent people from loving one another.
