Man unknowingly marries granddaughter.
Permalink  
 

Just three months into their marriage, a Florida couple got the surprise of their lives after discovering that the bride was the groom's biological granddaughter.

According to the Florida Sun Post, the couple - who have requested to remain anonymous - came to the startling discovery while looking through the 68-year-old's photo albums, which included pictures of his first wife and their children. His 24-year-old wife instantly recognized one of the children as her estranged father, who she says kicked her out of the house when she was a teenager after she'd accidentally gotten pregnant.

As the husband explained to the Florida Sun Post, he and his first wife had gone through a terrible split, and when she left him, she took their kids with her and moved to an undisclosed location. Despite his many efforts to find them, he was never able to, and eventually, he got remarried and started a new family with his second wife. However, that marriage also ended messily - but in a stroke of luck two years later, the 68-year-old ended up winning "several million dollars" in the lottery.

He soon decided he was ready for love again, and after signing up for a dating website, he came across his future wife's profile.

"I just felt strange when I saw her photos," the man said. “It was like a sense of déjà vu, but at the time I couldn’t figure out why she seemed so familiar."

Despite finally figuring it out, however, the couple have decided to stay together, and have no plans of getting divorced.

“If we’d never found out, we would’ve lived out lives happily together, and us being related shouldn’t change that,” the 68-year-old said. 

"Every couple is different and special in their own ways," his wife added.

I would say "how sad" except they are staying together. Now that's just gross.

Ewwwwww. That's just nasty. I would feel bad for them, except they are staying together. Plus, I have a really hard time figuring out why a 24 year old wants to be married to a 68 year old anyway. Well, except for the Benjamins...

I really don't know what to think. She married him for money. He married her because she was young. This just makes it more of a mess.

Ok, my mind is swirling the gutter but you know how in cheesy movies the guy has the young girl call him Daddy?...........Who's your Grandaddy? That's right baby!

Shouldn't it be illegal for them to stay married?

I really hope she doesn't get pregnant.

I like to think that he is impotent and they cannot have sex.

That is just sick. There was another case similar to this where a young woman and man found out they were father and daughter.

I wonder how common this really is.

I mean with anonymous sperms donations, it could happen more often than we know.

Wasn't this one of the reasons behind the requirement of blood tests before marrying?

 No.  You can't tell family relationship between old fashioned blood tests.  It was because of the RH negative factor that could kill a woman in pregnancy.  We have treatment for that now, so they don't need the blood tests, anymore.  And then the eighties hit - I had to get an HIV test, not a regular blood test.

DH and I didn't have to get blood tests when we got married. Is it a state-by-state thing?

I had to when I got married the first time, in 1983. They checked for a myriad of things. I remember there was a notation on the results about German measles. This was in Cali.

Here's a summary of each state's laws regarding premarital procedures, including blood tests, waiting periods before marriage, and the like. Because state laws in this area have been changing rapidly -- many states have recently eliminated blood tests, for example -- you should check with your county clerk's office before you rely on these rules. (For more information about marriage procedures, read Nolo's article Marriage Requirements, Licenses, and Ceremonies FAQ.)

I think their marriage is void by law.

Florida statute - 

741.21 Incestuous marriages prohibited.—A man may not marry any woman to whom he is related by lineal consanguinity, nor his sister, nor his aunt, nor his niece. A woman may not marry any man to whom she is related by lineal consanguinity, nor her brother, nor her uncle, nor her nephew.

History.—RS 2602; GS 3525; RGS 5415; CGL 7558.

Well I hope he has a will. If not she will have a heck of a time proving she should get the inheritance as a wife vs his estranged son if the court considers her his granddaughter instead.

It doesn't specify how far removed by generation.

And grodie Vette?  I haven't heard that word in 30 years. biggrin

 lineal consanguinity means ancestors or descendants.

Since they didn't know before they got married, I don't hold it against them that they got married.

But once they found out? Ewwwww doesn't even begin to cover it.

 It doesn't have to.  LINEAL descendants are not allowed to marry.  Period.

 That 1993 was that long ago.  

But a lot changes in 23 years.  In 1993, the internet was just a baby, most people still didn't have computers, people didn't have cell phones.

Got it.  I thought there was some degree of relationship.  Like 3 generations or something.
