Or family marriages. What possible reason is there to outlaw the marriage of two consenting brothers? None at all. Perhaps more likely are marriages of a mother and daughter, especially if the daughter has a job with good medical benefits and the mother is in poor health and has no access to insurance other than medicare. The mother would then receive coverage as the daughter's spouse. Or, as you say, two brothers or sisters living together could marry to reduce their taxes and, again, benefit from one party's medical insurance or other spousal benefits. Once we decide that marriage should be nondiscriminatory, there is no reason at all why any of these marriages should be prohibited.
