Woody Allen is married to his step daughter, that's all I need to know. What sort of sick society even lets that happen? This insanity has been accepted by many just as rapist Catholic priests have been accepted by many. Of course I believe you Dylan Farrow.
More accurately he married the adoptive daughter of his ex-partner. There wasn't a father-daughter relationship between them that could be the basis of anything like incest.
Friends and relatives can often help raise a child but a father - daugter relationship is more than that, at least in functional family. Allen does look dodgy, especially with Dylan's testimony, but saying that he married his step-daughter doesn't fairly reflect the facts.
A common law marriage is not the same as a de facto marriage. Common law involves a lawful union of a man and a woman, there's an exchange of vows etc.
Common-law marriage. One not solemnized in the ordinary way (i.e. non-ceremonial) but created by an agreement to marry, followed by cohabitation. (Black's dictionary of law, 5the edition)
That article is utter bullshit. Common law is not subject to the dictates of the state, the only way that real legislation can negate it is by identifying a a remedy for a mischief, eg a statute to prohibit illicit marriages, eg those involving incest.
I'm adamant about it because I've been studying the common law and it's history for years. There's a lot of wikipedia-style bullshit out there about common law. The incest angle is related to Christianity's ideas about Adam & Eve. It's a long story.
There’s the “common law” and there’s also the morality side of things. And morally, it feels off. Like I said tho use whichever argument you want to feel better about the situation but marrying your adopted daughter is wrong.
Either they covered up that she was adopted or he planned to marry her when she was a kid. There is no other explanation why he adopted the other kids not her. ITS SICK!!!

He helped raise her....he was her father. I've seen pics of them together with her on his knee, as a kid.

Not at all, it is a living arrangement.

No, that's de facto, not a de jure marriage.

It's absolutely sick, She WAS his daughter, I don't care what you call it, that's what she is.

Common law goes to the heart of ethics. Also, Woody Allen didn't marry his adopted daugter, he married Mia Farrow's adopted daughter.
