AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 13 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO MARRIAGES.
Twenty-six states presently allow first cousin marriages. No European country prohibits marriages between first cousins. It is also legal throughout Canada and Mexico. This Act amends Delaware’s marriage laws by recognizing a valid marriage obtained or recognized outside Delaware, between first cousins, as a valid and legal marriage in Delaware.
