I've seen consent notes where the father gives his permission for his daughter to intermarry with X. There MAY be some obscure legality being observed, but if the concern is cousin-marriage, don't bet on it. And particularly, don't bet on anyone concerned (bride, groom, parents of, minister, JP, Clerk of Court) being _aware_ of it if true. Cheryl singhals@erols.com
