The marriage of an uncle and niece is not incestuous and under the
laws of Maryland is not void but voidable. This section referred to in
holding a marriage between an uncle and niece contracted in Rhode Island
and valid there, valid in Maryland. Fensterwald v. Burk, 129 Md. 138.

While there must be "some religious ceremony" in order that a marriage
may be valid, the failure to secure a license does not render a marriage
void. Purpose of requiring a license. Feehley v. Feehley, 129 Md. 569.

Notwithstanding this section, the authority of equity courts in Mary-
land to determine the validity of a marriage charged to have been pro-
cured, by abduction, fraud, duress, etc., rests upon their general jurisdic-
tion to set aside contracts so affected. Caution with which the courts will
exercise such. authority in marital cases. Wimbrough v. Wimbrough, 125
Md. 621.
