== == I would not think it would be illegal as long as the father was dead. Even if he and the wife were divorced,it would be in very poor taste for a son to marry his father's wife. The book of First Corinthians in the New Testament mentions a church member who was having an affair with his father's wife. Apparently this was a step-mother;perhaps and older woman or maybe the father had married a much younger woman. Reuben;a son of Abraham in the book of Genesis had an affair with his father's concubine;this too was an older woman. I do not see any reason they could not marry providing the father was dead. However;some might still see this as poor taste to do such a thing. These days there are a lot of HOT older women. I'm 59 and I would choose a woman over 50 over any young thing if i were to marry again if GOD forbid my wife died.
Legally, a stepson does not have any specific rights just because he was referred to as a son in his stepmother's obituary or by friends. However, this could potentially indicate a close relationship and emotional bond between the stepson and stepmother, which may hold significance for the family in matters of inheritance or decisions concerning the stepmother's estate. It is advisable for all parties involved to communicate openly and seek legal advice if needed.
Yes, but only if the legal parents sign all rights.
If by "stepson" you mean someone who was legally adopted into the family - yes, they are a legal relative. However, they are NOT considered to be a "blood" relative.
Have you seen the will? Does it say this? You may be able to contest the will depending on the law of your country. Take legal advice. Could be expensive.
To some degree, this will depend upon how the will was written as well as the legal relationship between the stepchildren and the stepmother. If the stepmother officially adopted the stepchildren, then they have rights to the estate unless specifically denied them in a valid will. If the stepchildren were never officially adopted by the stepmother and the will does not provide for them, they may have no rights to the estate.
A court in India has ruled that premarital sex amounts to marriage, which there was no documentary evidence of a legal marriage between the couple.
No legal reason why you cannot.
The simple answer is NO, step parents do not have legal "rights" regarding their step-children. In order to have legal parental rights the step parent must legally adopt the children.
If the marriage in Cuba was a legal marriage then yes it is legal in NY
A divorce is a finalized paper stating that a marriage is officially over. A legal separation is an agreement between partners to not live together but not officially to end the marriage.
If the marriage was legal under the laws of the state in which it was conducted, it is legal in ALL states.
Marriage has always been legal. Your marriage is legal only if you are legally married.
