The undersecretary’s clarification
Given the impact of his statements, Ubiergo had to come out to clarify the matter. According to what she told CNN Radio Salta, she had not referred to the marriage between second-degree cousins, although she commented that “They could always get married.”
“According to the National Civil and Commercial Code, it is legal for second-degree cousins - that is, the children of first cousins, who share great-grandparents – to marry.” And he added: ”The current regulations prescribe biological and legal links.”
In this way, he clarified that the ties that cannot marry are those in which there is a straight line relationship by consanguinity from top to bottom. In this case, there are limits on parents, children, grandparents and great-grandparents. Nor can parents-in-law, grandparents of the father-in-law, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law do so by affinity.
