Good news for Pewsey
BBC NEWS | England | Manchester | In-laws can marry, judges decide
The British ban on marriage between parents-in-law and children-in-law is a breach of human rights, a European court ruled on Tuesday.
They will welcome that down the other end of the Vale; now if they want them all to be really in favour of Europe there is the matter of sisters, domestic pets and the odd sheep I believe to be sorted out as well...
Comments
I notice nobody has reported the second part of the ruling which reads:
“However, anyone applying for a licence to marry his mother-in-law is liable to be sectioned under the terms of the Mental Health Act.”
