Man to marry his stepmum - and her ex (his dad) will be among guests on big day


By Ben Russell for the Irish Mirror


A man is set to marry his former stepmother after months of battling with French authorities.

Eric Holder, 45, will marry his father’s former wife 48-year-old Elisabeth Lorentz in the small village of Dabo in Alsace-Lorraine, in northeastern France.

Although the couple are not blood relatives, French law prohibits all unions between stepchildren and step-parents.

The couple pleaded their case through the courts only to receive a signed letter from President Francois Hollande last year reconfirming that such marriages are banned.

They finally obtained the right to marry from a local court in north-east France in June.

The prosecutor's office opposed the decision but did not appeal.

Bride-to-be Elisabeth said: “At last, it's the big day! I simply hope that our story will be useful to other couples in our situation, because I know there are some.”

But there are no hard feelings from her former husband - and her fiancé’s father - who will be among the 100 or so guests on the big day.

"He has always supported us," Elisabeth added.

Against what, are u sure u know what the bible says about that?

When the foundations is destroyed what can d righteous do? The foundation was destroyed at the first instance as at when the man had her n ex her, so d son is only continuing on a faulty foundation in which they are all doomed.

The problem with man is that we usually see lesser n greater evil forgetting that evil is evil.

Lev 18 vs 8 The unclothedness of your father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s unclothedness.

We are not under the law anymore massa, bt that's not the point anyways. Under this dispensation of the spirit it is what is acceptable to the spirit n what is not. I am talking about evil being evil no matter how it was committed, and once u have gone astray u don't look at the lesser evil committed after.

Hope u understand this?

Matthew 5 vs 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.
New testament this time...
