That sounds like my elderly aunt telling me gossip and trying to get me to remember who someone is. "He's the son of Yer wan who was married to herself, who was the daughter of that woman who was married to Rosie's son".

no, they excluded same sex marriage in the line before the bit i quoted.

SexOne party to a marriage must be male and the other female

I'd have presumed you couldn't marry your husband/wife's anything, as you'd already have a spouse. If you're divorced or widowed, then they're not your husband anymore surely? Similarly with your aunt's uncle's cat's owner's husband - if he's a husband he must be already married.

Or are they saying that if my aunt got divorced I couldn't marry her ex-husband?

Well, im assuming you cant marry anyone else if you are already married. Tbh, im no too sure either.- So when we were in the reg office today I just looked at my missus and asked her who her mother and father was - they were not the same as mine - so we continued

TBH the safe pass is cheaper and you get more out of it, (at least you would know how to dispose of her properly when the time comes....;))

What larks there'll be when her mother sits on one side of the aisle and her father on the other come the big day. You are getting married in a supermarket, right?

It's even more stringent than I had expected. What's wrong with a non-blood relative, like an Auntie related by marriage?

Fair game IMO.

Also, you can marry your brother's wife, but not your auntie? Seems a bit lopsided.

How can a man who's married, married anyone, since polygamy is illegal?
Why all the mention of "wife's" blah blah?

Does it mean if he gets divorced, he may not marry his ex-wife's mother etc.?

No feckin' list is going to tell me who I can or can't marry.

Apart from it being very unlikely any person would wan't to marry these people, why is it illegal? There's no blood connection?

Saila

lots on that list are techinicalities are they not?
for instance you cant marry your wifes mother, but if your wife becomes your ex, her mother just becomes fair game no? unless you have had kids with your wife that is, in which case the bloodlines come into it, but otherwise she's just some older woman no?

8. Wife’s Father’s Sister
9. Wife’s Mother’s Sister

17. Son’s daughter
18. Daughter’s daughter


21. wife’s son's daughter
22 Wife’s Daughter’s Daughter

Could they not just say wife's aunt, your granddaughter, or your wife's granddaughter?

They don't usually give your kids/ex-wife transfusions if you remarry, but I'm sure if you ask they might make an exception for you.

I think we could go before a constitutional court and argue that this refers to hens and stags.

You cant be married to two people at the same time.

It would have to have the word ex in front of it for it to become a non issue
