Consensual incest advocates are rooting for an anonymous New York parent who wants to marry their own adult child.

  Australian Richard Morris, who is pushing to change incest laws in about 60 countries, said he supports the legal push in Manhattan Federal Court and that such behavior between consenting adults “should not be criminalized.”
