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.

Woody Allen is married to his step daughter

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.

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

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.

Here4pg ago

Yeah but he was dating her mom....if he lived with her he is common law = step-dad.

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.

Not at all, it is a living arrangement.

Random101 ago

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

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)

Common Law Marriages

You are considered legally married -- despite not having a marriage license, a ceremony, or a marriage certificate -

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 know common law couples...but believe whatever you want, I don't care.

Random101 ago

There's lots of wikipedia-style bullshit about the common law out there. If you believe what the state told you about it you've probably been misinformed.

Here4pg ago

No I know actually people that are living common law. They would know :)

Random101 ago

How is that any different to hearsay?

Here4pg ago

because they know how they are treated in terms of taxes etc. No reason to lie.

Random101 ago

Getting screwed over via taxes doesn't mean that they understand the common law. I'm not suggesting that they're lying, only that there's no reason to believe that they know what they're talking about.

As I said think what you want, I don't really give a shit. I know several people that are common law, same story. I've proven it through a law website and personal experiences. I'm not wasting anymore time.

Random101 ago

What matters is the truth. If you think that you can prove it then post the link to your website, unless of course you don't want to risk being shown to be wrong.

common-law marriage Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Common-Law Marriage

A union of two people not formalized in the customary manner as prescribed by law but created by an agreement to marry followed by Cohabitation.

What is Common Law Marriage

Common law marriage is a marriage that results from the actions of a couple, independent of the state. That is, a couple that fulfills the requirements to establish a common law marriage becomes legally married even though they have not obtained a marriage license or fulfilled the requirements of a state's statutory marriage laws, and have not had a marriage ceremony. Under common law requirements, that typically involves a relationship in which:

Cohabitation - The couple lives together as a married couple,

Mutual Agreement - The couple agrees that they are married, and

Cohabitation - The partners hold themselves out to the world as a married couple.

There you go, Im not doing anymore work for you, sorry.

So you've changed from your previous position of "it is a living arrangement" (i.e a de facto relationship) to "an agreement to marry followed by Cohabitation", right?

Technically common law marriage isn't necessarily legal, as there may be no tangible record of the marriage, but it is lawful.

I put varying definitions in there to show you there are different ways of interpreting it and also to test you out. Did you read the second one or are you really here for truth? I think it's looking like you are pro-pedophile right now.

Random101 ago

Fuck off, idiot.

I already linked a law site. How many more do you need? I'll find them.
