I assume this is the current Code. Do you perhaps have the time line of the changes to the VA Code for family law. It is my understanding the cousin restriction was a restriction of the Roman Catholic Church and not originally a legal one. Phyllis Vannoy Spiker § 20-38.1. Certain marriages prohibited. (a) The following marriages are prohibited: (1) A marriage entered into prior to the dissolution of an earlier marriage of one of the parties; (2) A marriage between an ancestor and descendant, or between a brother and a sister, whether the relationship is by the half or the whole blood or by adoption; (3) A marriage between an uncle and a niece or between an aunt and a nephew, whether the relationship is by the half or the whole blood. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
