Not even enforced sterilization (could be temporary) if they decide to stay together and have a sexual relationship?

She is young enough (perfect age, actually) to get pregnant and the likely defective child caused by their incest/inbreeding could end up being society's financial problem. (Millionaire+ lottery winners notoriously tend to lose their lottery winnings.)

gold-digging strippers who marry men 44 years older than them; doesn't exactly scream "dream wedding". I'm guessing they eloped.
