Exclamation marriage between adopted siblings

I was wondering if 2 siblings who were adopted, but share no blood, can legally be married in the state of Alabama

so far from checking, some places say it's legal, but others are saying it is illegal.

Why do you ask? Are you doing some research?

okay, my adopted sister and me were married a little over a year ago in leon county, Alabama. We were married because we had a child together, and the court said it was legal according to my adopted mother, but now she is saying that it is not legal

Oh...I would go ask a lawyer for your specific state...the initial talk with them is free.

From what I've read, marriage between step-siblings is ok because you aren't blood related. I agree with pp if you are worried about it. Ask a lawyer.

Default Marriage Between Adopted Siblings

Most places state that as long as siblings--adopted or not--share the same parents, they cannot be married. However, SOME locations do allow this because the law has left out the word "adopted" when it was written. I am not familiar with the laws of Alabama, so I would suggest that you contact your local county clerk to ask exactly what the law is for your state. Good Luck!
