Ireland has outlined 22 family relationships that legally prevent two people from marrying under the country's marriage laws.
The restrictions cover both biological family connections and relationships established through marriage. The government’s list identifies the relatives a person is legally prohibited from marrying.
The restrictions cover direct blood relatives, including parents, grandparents, children, siblings, grandchildren, aunts and uncles. They also extend to certain relatives by marriage, including step-parents, a spouse’s parents and the spouses of some family members.

Ireland's list goes beyond biological relationships to include family connections created through marriage.
For example, the restrictions cover a spouse's parent, a spouse's grandchild and certain relatives of a person's parent or spouse. They also include the spouses of some blood relatives.
This means the legal restrictions are not limited to people who share a biological family connection.
The Irish government has published the full guidance on impediments to marriage.
