A New York woman has announced that she is going to marry her biological father after two years of dating according to New York Magazine.

The 18 year old woman says that her father, who had left her life when she was a toddler, reconnected with her when she was 17 and still in high school.

“We didn’t know what was going on, but admitted that we had strong feelings for each other,” the woman told New York Magazine. “We discussed whether it was wrong and then we kissed. And then we made out, and then we made love for the first time. That was when I lost my virginity.”

“I didn’t regret it at all. I was happy for once in my life,” she stated. “We fell deeply in love.”

The couple plans to move from New York to New Jersey where adult incest is not illegal.  They say that while the father’s side of the family knows about the incestuous relationship, the girl’s mother and her side of the family do not know about it.  They plan to tell them after they move to New Jersey.

New Jersey enacted a new criminal code in 1979 that left the section planned for incest blank.  Before that passage, incest was a crime with a maximum of 15 years in prison.  Legal marriage between adult relatives is still illegal, so the “wedding” will have no legal standing.

“I just don’t understand why I’m judged for being happy. We are two adults who brought each other out of dark places. People need to research incest and GSA because they don’t get it and I don’t think they understand how often it happens,” the woman said to the magazine.

Several media watchdogs say the story could be a hoax because the woman is not identified by name.
