Well, as it is a step-brother there is no blood relation. It is odd but not illegal. Kind of a sticky situation. More information would be needed - do they live in the same house? Were they raised together like brother and sister or did the parents hook up when they were older? It kind of makes a difference for the creepy factor in my opinion. If they were raised from a very young age together - ewww, creepy. If their parents got together and they met when they were older - not so creepy. Does this make sense?

I worked with a girl who did this.. last I heard they were happy. It seemed weird to us too. But, there's no blood relation. If there were..they would be "half " not "step"...and that's against the law...mainly because it would hurt their future children. I know they say the best marriages are people who are best friends. At least they know each others faults etc. from living together and stll love/like each other. Probably some relatives will object...but relatives are usually hard on each other about everything.They think it will effect their reputations. If they marry and then divorce..THAT would be even worse...They'd have to still see each other because of the parents...or might turn away from their parents to avoid seeing each other. Hope it works out...one way or the other.PS I grew up in Tn...there was a country song. "I'm My Own Grampa".....Maybe they can write a hit song !! lol

There are certain laws about who we can marry and who we cannot marry, and they would fall into that category. You cannot marry your step brother or step sister, not legally. But it honestly depends on where you live, as every state or country has different rules regarding this. Honestly, I don't think it's right, I mean they are bonded by their parents marriage, but they are still considered to be siblings. It's not the worst thing, but it's still a little weird.

no reason why they should not marry. A "step" relationship is one created by the marriage of two people with kids. Those kids are in no way genetically related to each other, so there is no danger in them marrying and having children, as there would be if blood relatives married and had kids.

It does sound a little weird..."who are you dating ...oh my step brother so and so..." Thats so funny but technically there is no blood realtion going on so i guess its okay.
But if the family stays together and them two get married and then they have kids there dad would be there uncle and there mom would be there aunt you know what im saying??????

sister........step brother. Yea they can marry. STEP. means not family related. In a court of law. Any divorce any step kids are not ones responsibilities, if there not blood related!

Try to think about this in another way, lets say you got married to a guy and were very happy, your mum who is single meets this guy and starts dating, she is madly in love, she tells you she is thinking of marrying this guy, you obviously want to meet him first and when you do its your hubby's dad that you have not met before and your husband has not seen for twenty years.
OK completely different circumstances but still the same people involved, is it any different? people who are not connected by blood relation should be allowed to marry and my wife/sister agrees x

Its a step-brother. They aren't blood related at all so its okay. I may be a little weird at the family get-togethers, but otherwise its all good.

I don't think it's weird at all. They are in no way blood-related. It's not their fault their parents got married to each other.

hmm.. thats a little odd.
i would normally say its not right but it really depends.. were they going out before her parent remarried?
i guess iwould say its okay. i mean, just because your mom or dad gets married doesnt mean it can effect you to not marry the person you want to.
