A parent from New York is going viral after filing a lawsuit in Manhattan’s Federal Court with the hopes of overturning incest laws.
The news comes after the parent, whose identity and gender have not been disclosed, wished to marry their biological child and therefore termed the event a matter of personal autonomy. Now, the couple is turning heads as they request the court of law to declare all forms of laws relating to the subject of incest as both unconstitutional as well as unenforceable.
The couple is very eager to take their uniquely bizarre relationship to the next level and are waiting for the state’s green signal so they can move ahead and get married via a ceremony which will be reportedly held in New York City, mentioned close sources.
While the identities, as well as the gender of both offspring and parent, are yet to be revealed, authorities also mentioned how they could not reveal their ages, hometowns, as well as the nature of the relationship in detail too.
However, they did go on to reveal how the couple boldly states that if they don’t get permission to marry, it would ‘diminish their humanity.’
Under the state of New York’s law, incest is termed to be a major crime, falling under the category of a third-degree felony. For this reason, the punishment could possibly entail a prison sentence that lasts up to 4 years in prison.
The lawsuit also mentioned how the parent in particular wishes to remain anonymous because they feel that their aspirations of getting married to their offspring are termed as actions that many people in society are strongly against.
Moreover, they spoke about how society looks at it as a crime that is just not acceptable on the basis of social, biological, or even moral grounds.
