Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
marrying relatives
My brother married my brother's stepdaughter. No one knew about this for several weeks. Now that it has leaked out it has created havoc among the family.
My question is, is this marriage legal?

Re: marrying relatives
The step daughter is not a relative by blood, so there is no legal prohibition for the marriage - might make for interesting talk at the family reunion.
