This response is directed to akenaton. There is a mathematician in topology whose father wrote "historical" novels. As a kid I read one of these novels, having to do with Queen Nefertiti. Perhaps the name suggested to the author his only memorable scene, in which some lucky protagonist got to drink wine from between Nefertiti's breasts.What I remember was wondering if this could be done without leakage. I mention this, because, had it not been for Frank's father, I would probably not have known about you. My understanding, based you understand on the novel, is that in your day there was an attempt to separate "church" and state, which we see from present-day Egypt failed. To your question: I do not think you should be allowed to marry your parent, your child or your horse, although I can believe you may love them all dearly. But equal protection under the law is a fundamental right. To a mathematician, "equal" is much stronger than "equivalent" or "similar"; it means "the same." I thought we'd been through all this in Loving v. Virginia. The decision was unanimous. Loving won.
