Am I legally married if I marry my first cousin in a state that does not allow first cousin marriages?

Question

Am I legally married if I marry my first cousin in a state that does not allow first cousin marriages?

Answer

Now legally married where? If you mean the Commonwealth, yes,

I would opine that you probably are (legally married) until a Virginia

court of proper jurisdiction has cause to rule otherwise. (Va. Code Sec.

20-38.1 does not prohibit marriage between first cousins.)

However, if you mean the state where the marriage ceremony occurred, then

obviously, you are very likely not so married.
