Is marrying one's brother unlawful in our country? Just curious.

Most countries legally prohibit marriage between full siblings (brother and sister) due to strong incest taboos and genetic concerns, with major examples including the USA (at state level), China, South Korea, Taiwan, France, Italy, and Japan, though specifics vary, with some allowing half-sibling or distant cousin marriages, while nations like Brazil and Sweden have specific exceptions, often for half-siblings, and some Islamic countries impose death penalties for incest.

Countries with General Bans (Including Siblings)

United States: Varies by state, but full sibling marriage is universally banned; some states allow half-sibling or cousin marriages.

China (Mainland): Prohibits marriage for blood relatives up to the third degree, including siblings.

South Korea & North Korea: Restrict marriage up to third cousins.

Taiwan: Prohibits marriage up to second cousins.

France: Forbids marriage between brothers, sisters, half-brothers, and half-sisters.

Italy: Prohibits marriage between first and second-degree relatives (siblings, parent-child).

Japan: Bans marriage between siblings.

India: Has laws restricting uncle-niece, and by extension, sibling marriages.

Countries with Specific Exceptions

Brazil: Allows half-sibling marriage with health checks; invalidates full sibling marriages.

Sweden: Permits half-sibling marriage under specific conditions.

Varying Penalties

While some nations, like Afghanistan, Brunei, and Iran, have severe penalties (including death) for incest, these often depend on specific circumstances and whether the act is consensual.

In essence, while prohibitions are widespread, the exact degree of kinship banned and the legal consequences differ significantly across jurisdictions, with a general global trend against full sibling marriage.

Death penalty for that under Islamic law. Even so, she committed immigration fraud.

Omar is Somali fraud Exhibit A, and her district was the center of gravity in the massive Feeding Our Future fraud case that I wrote about in the Washington Free Beacon in March. Despite what you may think, Omar has made a valuable contribution to our history. She goes to show that there is such a thing as a new kind of political scandal. Mark Twain famously observed: "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress." And he hadn’t even met Omar.

I’m talking about Omar’s marriage to her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Trump may have garbled the specifics, but he got the upshot of the story right. Omar’s family brought Elmi over from London around 2002 to try to extract him from a gay lifestyle, and that is the context in which the congresswoman tied the knot with him.

Ah, I thought he looked very gay:

Repatriation. The put their family and clan back home up in estates and compounds. One thing Somali's hate as much or more than Westerners is a rival clan. They send $2B back PER YEAR (yet somehow need welfare?) and almost half of all Somalis get money from the USA. More in remittances is sent back annually than the Somalian "Government" spends in a year.

Federal Officials Debunk Ilhan Omar’s Claim Her Son Was ‘Pulled Over’ by ICE Agents

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) alleged during a Sunday interview that her son was “pulled over” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after a late-night trip to Target, but ICE officials say there is no record of any such encounter.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has revealed that radical Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is a lead suspect in the sweeping investigations into Somali-led fraud involving taxpayer-funded daycare and healthcare programs in Minnesota.

According to Comer, Omar sits “at the top of the suspect list.”

Comer’s remarks came during a pointed exchange with journalist Alison Steinberg.

Steinberg pressed the chairman on whether members of Congress themselves may have benefited from funds allegedly laundered through political action committees connected to fraudulent operations.

The Left’s false narratives about the shooting have prompted widespread protests.

Omar initially argued, just four days before her CNN appearance, that the video showed no threat to Ross, asserting that no agent fell or was struck by the vehicle, the Daily Mail reported.

She then doubled down, calling out President Donald Trump’s narrative that Ross acted in self-defense as misguided.

However, after Ross’s phone video emerged showing Good revving her engine and driving into him as he stood in front of her vehicle, Omar admitted the SUV was in motion during the encounter. ...

Good then revved her engine and drove straight into Ross, a move the Trump administration ties to the protest context.

Ross’s camera jerked violently in the video as he was struck by the vehicle and fired three shots, one through the windshield, killing her.

President Trump has staunchly defended Ross, insisting Good directly endangered the agent by driving into him, a far cry from merely attempting to flee.

Even if it existed, 5 million wouldn't buy much of a winery in California.

Forbes Boss Exposes ‘Crooked’ Ilhan Omar’s Fake ‘Winery’ on Live TV: ‘Money Laundering Operation’

Forbes Media Chairman Steve Forbes delivered a blistering on-air assessment of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) during a live appearance on Fox Business, raising serious questions about the source of her sudden wealth and calling for a formal investigation into her finances and her husband’s business ventures.

Forbes focused in particular on a California winery listed in Omar’s recent financial disclosures, an asset valued at $5 million that he suggested may not even exist.

“Weird is not the word for it,” Forbes said during the segment.

“There’s another word for it called crooked.

“That’s why we have to have an investigation into this.”

The comments come as scrutiny intensifies over Omar’s financial filings, which show her household net worth skyrocketing from under $1,000 to estimates as high as $30 million in roughly a year.

Much of that wealth is tied to ventures associated with her husband, Tim Mynett, including an investment firm known as Rose Lake and the California winery listed at multimillion-dollar valuations.

Forbes questioned how such wealth could materialize so rapidly. ...

Despite posing as a multi-million-dollar business, Omar’s “winery,” eStCru LLC, doesn’t have an address, a phone number, active social media accounts, or even any available options to purchase wine.

In addition, a website domain for the company, estcru.co, is “expired” and returns an error.

“That winery in California that she and her husband own, where did that come from?” Forbes asked.

“Where’s the wine there?

“And nobody can seem to find it,” Forbes said.

“I’ll make a speculation and prediction that $30 million came from sources that are illegal, period.”

Ilan Omar Brutally Mocked For Response When Asked About 'Staged' Skirmish

Extremist Somali Democrat Ilan Omar faced relentless mockery Thursday after being asked why she reacted so oddly when she was sprayed with an unknown substance by a weirdo at a town hall event earlier this week.

Omar was spewing her usual anti-American nonsense when she glanced up at a fidgety creepy guy sitting in the front row, who then proceeded to stand up and start yelling at her before spraying what turned out to be apple cider vinegar at her from a water bottle.

Ilhan Omar’s hubby’s $30M firm quietly scrubs names from website — as ‘Squad’ member faces mounting questions on sudden wealth amid Minnesota welfare fraud

Omar (D-Minn.) went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year — as a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolded right under her nose in the North Star State.

It was Somalia-born Omar — who was seen in a resurfaced video last month dishing out food in a restaurant now at the heart of the scandal — who introduced the legislation that critics say paved the way for what the feds have called the largest fraud of the pandemic.

The Jimmy Choo-wearing socialist introduced the MEALS Act in Congress in 2020, relaxing oversight of government-sponsored children’s meal programs during the pandemic, which critics say allowed fraudsters to claim they served millions of meals without verification, while pocketing millions of dollars in government subsidies.

Shortly after the scheme played out, Omar’s husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, launched Rose Lake Capital, a venture capital management firm, in 2022.

A fresh wave of legal challenges facing Tim Mynett, the husband of US Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), has brought renewed scrutiny to the couple. This attention focuses not only on business ethics but also on the apparent contradictions between Mynett’s commercial interests and the religious identity central to Omar’s public persona.

Mynett, a political consultant turned venture capitalist, is currently the subject of a lawsuit alleging fraud and breach of contract in connection with "eStCru," a California-based wine business in which he is a partner.

The lawsuit, filed in Washington, DC, claims that Mynett and his business partner, Will Hailer, defrauded investor Naeem Mohd. According to court documents, Mohd alleges he was persuaded to invest $300,000 based on a guarantee of a 200% return within 18 months, but the plaintiff's promises were never fulfilled.

Although the principal investment was reportedly repaid after a delay, the lawsuit alleges that the promised profits were never paid. It accuses the partners of misrepresenting the company’s financial health. Mynett has denied the allegations, characterizing the matter as a contract dispute.

Beyond the financial dispute, the wine business's existence has raised eyebrows among observers of Omar’s career.

A spokesperson for the congresswoman stated that Omar and Mynett married "Islamically and legally" in 2020. Traditional Sunni Islam, to which Omar belongs, religiously forbids a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim man. The statement implied that Mynett had either converted to Islam or that the couple had undertaken a religious ceremony satisfying Sharia requirements.

However, the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol are strictly prohibited by Islamic law (haram). Mynett’s active role at a winery and the specific pursuit of profit from alcohol sales present a theological conflict with the faith Omar frequently cites as a guiding moral compass in her legislative work.
