NEW YORK PARENT SEEKS OK TO MARRY THEIR OWN ADULT CHILD

This is the headline that flashed across my phone news scroll the other day.

https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/new-york-parent-seeks-ok-to-marry-their-own-adult-child/

First off- I had to double check the date to make sure it wasn’t an April Fool’s Joke.

Secondly, I checked the date to see if it was an April Fool’s Joke…

And I fully note that the papers were filed on April 1…

However…

Is there a chance that this is for real?

And then I scanned the article…

The person filing says that it is a matter of “individual autonomy”.

Ok- I was originally going to joke about this, say something like, well at least I know that my Mother in Law is in Florida, but really…

I can’t even…

If this is true, if this is actually a good law suit…

Am I wrong to think that this is nuts?

Or is there someone out there who is going to defend this saying that as I’ve never been in this situation I can’t put myself in their shoes? That I don’t understand what it’s like to be them?

Now…if you agree with this being an OK thing to file…I will listen to your argument…

But please…

Discuss…

But I will say, this would be one heck of an April Fool’s Joke
