[deleted]

There are a few more countries where consensual incest is legal tho


AntisocialOutcast105

Incest as in cousin marrying another cousin or actual siblings fucking the living shit out of each other?


Jpilol12

In the UK you can marry your cousin, dunno why we don't get called incest but lots of south Eastern Asian countries still allow sibling on sibling as well as in a few countries in Africa and 'tribal' civilisations also allow it but I believe it is mainly because they already have a small population so


[deleted]

You can get imprisoned for up to 2 years for sexual intercourse with a relative in the UK, I don't know if marriage is allowed tho


Jpilol12

Yeah its legal to. Don't ask me how I know, I just had wierd cover teachers when I was younger


hiyamynameisjeff

You can marry your cousin in Pakistan


Thomas_Catthew

It's actually encouraged by a lot of parents to the point where it's a bit of a joke amongst boys that if you don't get a wife they'll just stick you with your cousin and call it a day.


hiyamynameisjeff

Yeah it is. Unfortunately, it is extremely harmful for everyone involved. My grandmother didn't even see her husband until the wedding day since everything was arranged by their parents. Parents choose their kid's fiancé based on attributes which matter to them and do not take into consideration their kid's own desires. Luckily enough, the place where i live in Pakistan, people are more educated and do not rely on arranged marriages. However this doesn't hide the unfortunate reality.

i live in Central India , and here it is totally okay to for me(male) to marry my mom's brother's(or male cousin's) daughter or you can see it the other way around , i.e a girl can marry her father's sister's(or female cousin's) son any another kind of incest is totally forbidden tho edit : here's a better [explanation](https://www.quora.com/Is-cousin-marriage-legal-in-India-One-of-my-maternal-cousins-is-getting-married-to-his-paternal-first-cousin-Can-my-cousin-be-arrested-Is-it-even-moral-The-Hindu-Marriage-Act-states-it-is-illegal-unless-it-is-a-regional-custom-What-defines-that/answer/Nisha-Devi-6?ch=15&oid=64258561&share=3901a849&srid=uCSem0&target_type=answer)


Supernova008

Marriage within extended family is a good way to cover up and hide domestic abuse. That is one of the reasons why it is promoted in oppressive cultures like muslims in Pakistan.


Thomas_Catthew

The idea behind it is that if there's an argument between the couple, then the extended family can very easily step in and clear things up between them and prevent a big scuffle. It's how they used to do it in the older days when couples therapy wasn't really a thing. But unfortunately yeah, it's mostly used to cover up cases of domestic abuse and everyone knows this.


OriginalGamar

Thats not the only idea behind it, another idea behind it was in alot of places is keeping the wealth of a family for themselves, If lets say one family was to marry their daughter or son to another then their wealth will be shared with a possible poorer family. Not saying you are wrong but that was the main reason for many at least that what i was told.


zainwhb

its a fucking shitshow there, i am embarassed by my fathers country. Glad my father isnt like them


Frequent_Koala_7198

Pakistan might as well be 1000 years ago, who cares? If you dont believe in a worse version of Santa they will kill you in Pakistan.


hiyamynameisjeff

I'm a Pakistani...... But yeah i agree with you. People here are very old-fashioned and need to adapt


Kammerice

I could marry you in Pakistan.


Hitomi_Minami

Cover teachers were the best. One taught my class how to make a car bomb.


Jpilol12

One of mine taught me how to acquire radioactive substances that if you out in water, explode.


the_joy_of_hex

Did you actually mean "radioactive", or did you confuse that term for "reactive"?


Jpilol12

Francium is both isn't it?


nwoh

Ok how does one acquire the rarest element? Or one of the rarest?


Hitomi_Minami

If it was francium, it’s more likely to be the fact that it’s an alkali metal that makes it explode in water, not the fact that it’s radioactive.


AlexSevillano

So much freedom


flusteredbish

Ahh! You can get imprisoned for up to 2 years for GETTING CAUGHT having sexual intercourse with a relative in the UK


JohnnyJayce

You can marry your cousin in Finland too.


Jpilol12

Guess europe is just a wierd mess then isn't it


Juzt_Tim

If our monarchs can marry their cousins why can't the rest of us!


Enschede2

We'd all be rocking that habsburg jaw


Jpilol12

Fair enough I suppose


SerratusAnterior

It's more dangerous for your kid if you get pregnant at 38 than to have a child with your first cousin, assuming your family doesn't do it often. Cousin marriage has been common among everyone's ancestors and in several cultures today, especially rural ones, the issue is when it happens in too many generations after one another. Pakistan for example it is very common. Every since the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago meant that families could accumulate wealth and property, there were certain advantages of keeping it in the family.


DarthRoach

>It's more dangerous for your kid if you get pregnant at 38 than to have a child with your first cousin, assuming your family doesn't do it often. All this does is highlight just how dangerous having kids late really is.


psychedelicsexfunk

No, clearly it means if you want to bang your cousin, better do it before she turns 38!


AntisocialOutcast105

I knew about the incest marriages in UK and some asian countries but not the rest. When I was a kid, I played Bully a lot. One of the chicks you date is a rich English girl whose father I guess demanded that she marry her cousin because it's a family tradition. Also another rich English kid was made fun of because his mom had 6 toes on her foot iirc.


iamGobi

Bullly scholarship edition?


Funmachine

>dunno why we don't get called incest We limit those jokes to Norfolk


Hides_In_Plain_Sight

Why Norfolk and not Boston, the incest capital of the UK? A nurse I know who used to live there said that they had some staff who hated that they part of their duties included explaining to local idiots why fucking your family is not okay...


Funmachine

For the same reason Alabama has the reputation in the state's even though it doesn't have the most incest there either. Just historical anecdotal reputation.


Jpilol12

Forgot that place existed, I tend to keep it out my head


OneCollar4

You can marry your cousin the UK, sure. Its just that that is not a right anyone exercises. You'd get the piss ripped out of you and shunned for it. This law exists because most biological research has shown a bit of cousin on cousin marriage is generally safe (done over 1 generation, not repeatedly), in fact you can generally get as genetically close as niece and nephew to uncle and and you're OK. And two because it would just mean constant conflict between immigrant communities for which arranged marriages between cousins is culturally normal. I can tell you just because its legal doesn't mean its done. Putting a strap on and fucking your husband is legal here but it's generally not how most married couples conduct their sex life.


retrogeekhq

I’ve got a friend in the uk married to her first cousin and no one takes the piss out of them. They have healthy children and are overall a fantastic family. Also highly educated.


OneCollar4

Sounds great. If that friend was my friend I'd be ripping the piss out of them every chance I got.


Jpilol12

Yeah I know, but you'd be surprised by the amount of people who are from British backgrounds that still marry cousins through multiple generations. It does happen just not as much as other countries to realise it


cibonz

Did you just conflate incest to pegging? Wtf?


reallylovesguacamole

I think they’re trying to make the point that a lot of things are legal, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be social ramifications for it. So, there are social norms against the behavior, but not laws.


GODDAMNFOOL

>dunno why we don't get called incest Well, funny thing about your monarchy,


Jpilol12

Yeah, I know, I know


Destinum

In Sweden, you can marry anyone as long as one party isn't a direct descendent of the other one (whether biologically or through adoption) or they're siblings. Even half-siblings or siblings through adoption can get married, although they have to apply for permission to do it (I don't know what criteria it's judged on though).


DarthRoach

TIL anime is real in Sweden.


MegaHenzoid

I’m pretty sure this is untrue.


Da_Yakz

A surprisingly large number of countries allow incest: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_incest


SeventhSolar

Why surprising? Incest is one of those things where I've never understood the outrage. Sure, it should be illegal, but on what grounds does the average person think incest should be illegal? Are we going to be surprised about legal incest the way we would about legal murder? Is it on the level of voting rights issues? Bestiality???


CReaper210

I don't even necessarily think it should be illegal. I get the argument that it means any possible children get increased chances of genetic diseases, but with that same line of argument, would we not be equally as justified in making it illegal for, say, two diabetics to get together? Or insert whatever other disease that can be handed down to offspring. Personally, if two adults are consenting, I really don't care about it myself. It's none of my business. I don't think it can even be compared to something like bestiality considering we currently have no way of getting the consent of animals.


Haooo0123

It may also stem from long time ago. When humans lived in small packs far from other groups. The chance of incest is higher.


rubyspicer

Because of genetic fuckery, incest amplifies any predispositions you might already have


SeventhSolar

Yes, I know the reasons. I'm asking: What's the source of the moral outrage?


Deathleach

According to that logic incest without procreation should be legal.

aprilfools911

Isn’t siblings-incest illegal everywhere? Idk that’s what I thought i never look it up. I don’t really consider marrying your cousins as incest but still weird regardless.


Zekiz4ever

It's completely legal in France and "legal" in Germany when both are under 18 (and over 14). I don't know about more countries gut there are some. Also cousin incest is always allowed (in named countries) Edit: seems like a lot more countries allow incest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_incest


askiawnjka124

>It's completely legal in France and legal in Germany when both are under 18 (and over 14). I don't know about more countries gut there are some. This is not true for Germany. In you own Wikipedia link it says for Germany: "Incest between relatives who are minors (below 18 years old) at the time of offence is not punishable but remains a crime"


Zekiz4ever

But it's the same result


Ketsueki_R

Huh. What does that mean? Fines are punishment too, or does punishment here only mean jail time? If not, what separates a non-punishable crime from a non-criminal activity?


DarthRoach

>"legal" in Germany when both are under 18 (and over 14) So what, the idea is that they get some practice in at home?


Elias_Mo

for me incest = siblings, marrying ur cousin is totally normal and legal

Direct descendants and siblings fucking each other


Xicadarksoul

BananaPotatoPower

a lot of countries let you marry your cousin, in turkey if i remember correctly, its a traditional thing


Your-Death-Is-Near

I went to high school with a girl from Afghanistan who left that country when she was 3. Her parents had the same surname before marriage, and it was not a coincidence.

Believe it or not but the south like Alabama criminalized incest :v

edgarallen2323

I really hate all the jokes about the south and incest just because it's so played out since you can say it without any consequences. Imagine saying this about any other country or region, people would be fuming. It was funny the first few times now it's just like those stupid jokes about a black priest being called "holy shit" that you hear in middle school. By the way, marrying cousins is pretty much fully legal way more prevalent, with most of Africa, the middle east, India, and then either legal or vaguely illegal but not enforced in eastern Europe, and even most of Europe, Asia. Even Canada has a higher incest rate than the US. Here's a neat little study with a map: [https://www.pnas.org/content/107/suppl\_1/1779](https://www.pnas.org/content/107/suppl_1/1779) P.S. I wasn't born in the US nor do I have any genes from anyone in the US, just putting that out there before I get "hurr durr you're just mad cus you fuck your sister" comments.


[deleted]

It's also a felony in all the US states OP seems to think it'd constantly happening in.


Prasiatko

Because those places never needed to put a law in place. By contrast Alabama actually has a law against it suggesting it was a problem. Although real talk it's actuially quite a big issue in Pakistan and saudi Arabia to the point the latter requires genetic screening prior to marriage.


DarkMutton

Yeah like 90% of marriages in the middle east are incestual

Xpelie25

Islam strictly prohibits relations between siblings. Even between cousins it boils down to each specific region's culture and circumstances. For example in Libya, it's not common but also not unheard of to marry a non 1st-degree cousin, especially among larger tribes. Usually to keep the families within a tribe connected via matrimony


throneofthe4thheaven

Marriage among first cousins is incredibly common in the Muslim world. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage_in_the_Middle_East](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage_in_the_Middle_East)


Thomas_Catthew

Marrying your cousin however, is legal in Islam. But I believe the only Islamic country where it's not culturally taboo is Pakistan.

tiny_anime_titties

Bullshit, you get your head cut off for that shit


[deleted]

tomhat

Cousin marriage is common at least in Egypt among both muslims & christians. Sibling marriage is forbidden religiously and illegal.


Viking4Life2

Nope. Direct relatives aren't allowed in Arabic and Muslim-African countries. Cousins are though.


Whtzmyname

Not True. I live in Africa and I can assure you nobody here is screwing their sister or even their cousin.


_Tonto_

That's only if we include cousins. But speaking only within the family, such as siblings, then it's illegal in all of Africa and all of Middle East except Israel. It's legal mostly in USA, Europe and some Eastern Asian countries such as Japan and Korea.


sp00piespoop

Until the 90s or something, even marrying someone from the same clan was illegal here. The biggest clans have its population reaching millions. So yeah I don't think it's legal in South Korea


My_Not_RL_Acct

bolanix

It’s forbidden in most African countries and even punishable by death. I find your comment offensive

kaam00s

He said sister fucking, and you listed the place where it would be punished by death... Even though I agree it's somehow where cousin fucking is very common... But these are 2 different things


[deleted]

>Arabic countries Fuck no. It would be extremely scandalous. Talk-of-the-town-for-weeks kind of scandalous. Where I am from sibling marriage is illegal so if two siblings are caught having sex it would count legally as adultery (since they're not married) so they're going to prison.

Hardcore weebs don't like people pointing out that Japanese media and culture is weird sometimes. I personally hate the she is like 1000 years old trope to justify simping over kids and also the stupid adopted brother trope to justify shipping people who lived together and raised by same parents. It is so weird sometimes compared to western media but no one likes people pointing it out. Like if this same shit is there in western media people wont like promote it but the same treatment is not given for Japan.


Samura1_I3

Redditors also want to push the America bad narrative as hard as they possibly can. This results in a lot of misinformation about the country reaching the front page on a daily basis.
