In Georgia and Florida the law of
Moses has been re-enacted. I11 several
states, including California, Iowa, Kan­
sas, Maine and Montana, n man cannot
marry his niece, Delawane and Kentucky
include grandnieces in the prohibition.
In respect to the marriage of cousins
there has been a great diversity of
opinion. They may marry in New York,
while they would be liable to go to jail if
the ceremony occurred in Arizona,
Nevada or Wyoming.
A marriage between cousins would be
valid in New York, but a grave question
would arise if cousins residents of a state
prohibiting their marriage were wedded
in New York and then returned to their
homes. The doctrine is that a marriage
valid where solomnized is valid every­
where, but on the other hand the status
of citizens of a state must be governed
bv the state of their residence.
In Rhode Island the matrimonial pro­
hibition extends to stepparents and step,
children, sons-in-law and parents-in law,
though there is a special provision that
the Jews may contract marriages within
the degrees allowed by their religion.
Several others, including New Jersey,
forbid a man from marrying his father’s
widow. In Virginia and in West Vir­
ginia a man cannot marry his wife’s
stepdaughter. Thirteen states say a
man shall not marry the widow, of a
