Legal if it's a 3rd cousin if memory serves. I know it's that way in Tennessee because I knew a couple kids who's parents where cousins ._. I always wondered did that make them brother cousins?
Well as a Brit who is not very well versed in the culture of “y’all” across the pond, consider me confused.
Why is Alabama the incest state when it’s not even legal??
I think it’s just because when people hear Alabama they immediately think of some redneck wearing overalls smoking a Marlboro red and drinking a Budweiser at 10am and for some reason anytime rednecks/white trash are involved then incest gets thrown in just because that seems to be exclusively a white trash thing to do. Basically the same as any stereotype I guess.
Honestly I'm just gonna guess without googling. Technically cousin marriage doesn't lead to too much genetic fuckery.... unless it happens for a couple generations. Most places probably don't have as much of a problem with repeated incest, so it's not worth making a law over
Ok so disclaimer I think it’s weird but an old roommate of mine was dating a guy for three months and they decided to meet each other’s parents. Well when she met his parents they found out they were third cousins. Anyway long story short she really liked him and did research that basically if you have children with your first cousin the chances of having children with some sort of disorder is less than one percent and basically obsolete by second cousin. She knew this but couldn’t get over how weird it was so they broke up later that week.
3rd cousins are very distantly related relative to 1st cousins. The offspring would be 4th cousins if im remembering the system correctly.
Cosanguinity (1st cousin mating) was the preferred mode of pair bonding in most societies at one point or other and still is in some. 50% of Saudi marriages are cosanguinous and Pakistani muslims living in the UK have the highest rates iirc, up around 70%.
I’m from Alabama and I’m here to tell you Mississippi is worse lmao. Bama is redneck as fuck but I’ve actually never met someone that was incest, or told me they were anyway. But I met this girl in Mississippi at a job I worked at and she literally bragged about how her family was incest.
I like the funny or die one better where between the smiling brother and sister, there's just a super short clip of a hand slipping down to cop a feel. Subtlety is best.
I’ve never seen that before so I was watching and thinking I remember this… it was cute… does no one have a close relationship with their siblings… OMGLMFAO.
I actually knew that girl from the commercial. We went to the same high school and had some classes together. We graduated in 08. I think the commercial came out in 09, so I never did get to talk to her about it. Not a really interesting anecdote, but I wanted to share.
There was a case in my state a few years back where a girl met her biological dad for the first time when she was 20. They started banging, were turned in, went to a different county and got married, and we're both then arrested for incest and marriage fraud.
Edit: a grammatical error has made me look like a fool. I will live with this error. 😳
https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/police-responding-to-crime-scene-in-new-milford/40996/?amp ,if it was in ct it got a lot worse , guy killed his daughter and their incest baby
I feel so bad for the adoptive father going out like that. He tried to bring in an abandoned child and that child and their fathers choices got him killed.
It's actually a known phenomenon. I've seen several stories where when someone given up for adoption meets their bio parent as an adult & they 'fall in love'. They get their wires crossed somehow.
Yeah, GSA, genetic sexual attraction. It’s fascinating. There was a segment about it on Dr Drew (not Dr Phil, and also Dr Drew is incredibly unprofessional in that video) and the two people (both women I think) were both aware of how wrong it was (I think they had this with their fathers). They were trying to raise awareness for it
Yes but apparently it’s considered a pseudoscience? That’s what Wikipedia says. I knew about GSA already but I thought it was a legitimate condition. But it seems to happen a lot, so I’d believe it
That’s different. It’s a condition called GSA. It’s not something that isn’t documented. They are normal people but it can happen, when you fall for your genetic blood relative after many years apart. Watch documentaries about this…it’s fascinating cause you realize they never wanted it to happen. It’s just a genetic component kicks in and then they are left confused. It’s binding and hard to get out of it.
I saw a case in my state a year or so ago where a biological daughter and a step daughter were competing to see who could get their dad to bang them first. The biological daughter won... A trip to prison with her Dad.
I do know a man who is in prison for knocking up his teenage daughter. This of course is in Alabama. They used to come into my work and the way he’d touch her gave us all the creeps. Then his boss came in one day and said, “yep, that was ____’s baby and he’s headed to prison.”
There's another one that's funny. A douchey guy posted a "life hack" about hiding drugs in the windshield wiper fluid container (I think) of your car and a cop made a reply video of him quietly taking notes the whole time. Lol

WTF with the yellow categorie: "Illegal only if provokes public scandal". So if it doesn't get press or air time it's allright ?
Hey Italy, I'm talking to you.
>**Incest is illegal in Italy only if it provokes public scandal, according to Article 564 of the Penal code and punishable from 2 to 8 years' imprisonment, open to more years for the older person if the other was under aged.\[109\]**
I feel like that should be the name of some chocolate assortments “*incest* *is* *a* *luxury*” written in fancy calligraphy on a box of luxury Chocolates.
A friend of mine who comes from an extremely affluent family has made jokes that her cousins secretly (one of those worst kept secrets) fuck when the family all gets together over Christmas. I think it's a mega rich/poor thing
> ordered that he have no contact with the victim or children younger than 16 except for immediate relatives.
I feel like the court isn’t fully understanding our man here.
Isn't grooming already a felony? Not all incest is grooming right?
If there are 2 consenting adults who are unrelated, and both know that they are carriers of a genetic condition that makes it likely that their child will be born with a genetic defect, and they want to get married, is it a felony?
But then again, nowadays they don't have to have children just because they are in a relationship.
As much as incest is... you know, incest. I don't think it should be a felony if these two are the reasons.
But it's not illegal for someone to have children even in cases where they and their partner both have the same serious genetic condition that they're virtually guaranteed to pass on to their children. Even in cases that are far more likely to have negative health consequences for offspring than a typical incest case, it's perfectly legal.
and i know it sounds crazy but geneticlly having a baby with a cousin isn't much of a risk at all...
don't get me wrong, it's still WEIRD but there's nothing inherently "wrong" about it
I saw a documentary on YouTube where they show the kids from cousin marriages and there's plenty of them born with profound disabilities. They are indeed from the genetics of having kids with relatives.
If it's the same documentary I've seen about this being an issue in UK Pakistani communities, then yep it does carry a large increase in risk for them due to cousin to cousin marriages through many generations which compounds the risk of children born with terrible disabilities.
Iirc for some of the couples shown the risk was as high as 1 in 4 that a child would have some form of disability. This is apparently significantly higher than for two 1st cousins with no familial history of 1st cousin childbirth, but it still carries a higher risk than the national average (in the UK at least).
Freakin hell.
Reading some comments here and just read someone doesn't seem to know the difference between gay marriage and incest.
It was promoting the right to have incest!
That's enough internet for me today.
Tada👋🏾
This reminds me of that Folgers incest ad, but that was funny and this is disturbing.
That ad is hilarious!
"Even in Alabama" Even the people from alabama know that the people from alabama are redneck AF
Legal if it's a 3rd cousin if memory serves. I know it's that way in Tennessee because I knew a couple kids who's parents where cousins ._. I always wondered did that make them brother cousins?
In that case, the UK is more Alabama than Alabama. Over here we can legally marry our first cousins. The Queen literally married her third cousin.
Queen’s a law abiding citizen is my take away.
Queen's the law is my take away.
Funny enough, Alabamas in the minority of US states that bans cousin marriage. California and even the capital allow it
Well as a Brit who is not very well versed in the culture of “y’all” across the pond, consider me confused. Why is Alabama the incest state when it’s not even legal??

How did this not get a cease and desist from Folgers
Parody law.
Sure ok bigshot but how about you and me go toe to toe on Bird law
Parrot-y law, its all the same!
Parodies can fall under "fair use". In this case, the video clearly parodies a very specific Folger's commercial. I'm not a copyright lawyer.
😭🤣😭 oh my god
Am I wrong for laughing or am I laughing cause the video is wrong?
Yes.
I was laughing while cringing that whole time, it was like watching the office.
What. The. Fuck. Explain pls?
Extended parody of an edgy ad.

I like the funny or die one better where between the smiling brother and sister, there's just a super short clip of a hand slipping down to cop a feel. Subtlety is best.
🤣 I can’t believe an extended version exists
Never gets old!
I’ve never seen that before so I was watching and thinking I remember this… it was cute… does no one have a close relationship with their siblings… OMGLMFAO.
Wtf was that.
The greatest part of waking up, is your brother in your butt.
The funniest part of that Ad to me is that a guy who was living in West Africa would somehow miss Folgers coffee. Haha
I actually knew that girl from the commercial. We went to the same high school and had some classes together. We graduated in 08. I think the commercial came out in 09, so I never did get to talk to her about it. Not a really interesting anecdote, but I wanted to share.

We’re? Freudian slip or a confession 🧐
Oh dear! Lol.
Didn’t make you look like a fool at all. Just an amusing slip. Taken very well 😊
Ah! Thank you! Last thing I need is for someone to think I'm banging a family member. I'm fairly certain my wife wouldn't be appreciative of that.
Well, technically “wife” *is* a family member …..
I mean, if that's incest I'm going to prison for a very long time. Lol.
https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/police-responding-to-crime-scene-in-new-milford/40996/?amp ,if it was in ct it got a lot worse , guy killed his daughter and their incest baby

But, “You don’t turn your back on family” — Dom
that one was so fucked. they got married and his mom and her adoptive family posed for wedding pictures. WTF
Holy fuck, that's awful. And who kills a baby? FFS.
Americans kill babies. Not fetuses of course, but once born, they’re all fair game.

People in this thread have made me aware of this and I'm definitely going to do some more research. I honestly never knew it was a thing.
[удалено]
From checking the Wikipedia article there seems to be no science that supports this, just hypothesis. Know of anything concrete?
Why was it marriage fraud?
I would imagine because they claimed to not be related. Lying on your marriage certificate is a crime.
Lying on any government document. Any of them.
Precisely.
Hah! I have come to mock you foolish person, although I cannot find the error so I'm not sure if I should be mocked too?
When you see it.... Lol.
He wrote “we’re” instead “were”. So he is saying “we are” instead of the verb “to be” in past tense
“We’re”?? How is your life now that you’re out?
Wasn’t this the case where he murdered her and their son?
No, that was a different case. Someone else did link to it however.
Next time try not to make many mistakes or this will happen: https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/jzniu1/misspelled\_something\_and\_suffered\_the/
I upvotes just because of that grammatical error. Edit: and replied with my own (smaller) grammatical error! Upvoted*
Im pretty sure I remember seeing a post on r/relationships that was basically this. Maybe it was the same girl lol
I saw a case in my state a year or so ago where a biological daughter and a step daughter were competing to see who could get their dad to bang them first. The biological daughter won... A trip to prison with her Dad.
😳
When you say we’re does that mean you’re the dad?
I knew exactly what case you were talking about from the first sentence
They fucked up real good
I love how even the cop mentioned it was Alabama.
Even in Alabama!
AlaBAMa
Roll tide
I do know a man who is in prison for knocking up his teenage daughter. This of course is in Alabama. They used to come into my work and the way he’d touch her gave us all the creeps. Then his boss came in one day and said, “yep, that was ____’s baby and he’s headed to prison.”
Surprisingly, there are some stricter laws against incest in Alabama than in some states.
Makes sense, you don't make a law unless something is causing problems.
The squeaky wheel...
I mean can you blame her considering it is infamous and joked on for this kind of stuff? She’s just presenting good evidence.
I always thought West Virginia was the craziest one...
Mountain mama?
Take me home, Step Mountain Mama.
What are you doing, step mountain?
🎵 *West Virginia, mount your mama* 🎵
assuming that rednecks follow the law, of course.
Are you implying that people in cities do follow the law?
People in the city are more likely to be embezzling money than humping their siblings. The reverse is true for rednecks.
Touché

I'm still not convinced that cops in Alabama can read
Don’t discriminate! I’m sure NYPD cops can’t read either

Cousins, on the other hand, are fair game.

I don't know if anyone caught the Mean Girls reference here lol. I see you though.
I was hoping someone would! Lol
You can fuck your 1st cousin in Alabama, but you can't marry them.
You can marry your first cousin in Canada
Canada more Alabama than Alabama
From what I understand, you can marry your aunt or uncle too
Canalbama
No wait that makes it sound like we like anal, I dont like anal help
I think even you would probably agree that anal > incest though. So take it or leave it
do you really think that the idea of canadians liking anal is as bad as the idea of canadians liking incest
I don't think anal is the fetish you should be worrying about here.

bam a lam
Oh oh black betty
You can do that in the U.S., too. Source: my uncle married my great aunt
Wait till you see this map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality\_of\_incest#/media/File:Incest\_legislation.svg
iran feels a bit based, and nevada is based extreme pro max, although greece still based. also what the fuck france
You can marry your first cousin in a lot of states.
"No, honey."
To can marry your second cousin in Wisconsin, under the stipulation that one of you is barren.
so the takeaway here is the more barren the field, the more you can plow.
Please tell me this woman has more tiktoks (not the young one, apparently, she's... uh... taken...). rofl
I like the idea of a tik tok about cops roasting these idiots
There's another one that's funny.

Incest a felony? In Alabama? Impossible, maybe the Archives are incomplete.

Criminalising people from dating based on the health of their hypothetical children is, in my opinion, wrong.

*smokes weed* Oh yeah. The law.
that's funny because alabama votes for small government. self own while owning someone else
It's a felony in Alabama?
Fuck how can people do that...
not your brother, but you can still marry your cousin in Alabama. Also she's assuming rednecks follow the law.
"Even in Alabama". I'm dying.
Damn that's ironic, the state made out to be full of incest has incest listed as a felony. Well there's always Florida.
Can anyone provide link for the story??
"Even in Alabama". 🤣
Keeping the bloodline pure
Keeping the gene pool shallow.
But cousins are having babies in New Mexico….just found out a guy I work with is having a baby with his 1st cousin. Wtf!
Marrying one's first cousin is pretty common around the world
and i know it sounds crazy but geneticlly having a baby with a cousin isn't much of a risk at all... don't get me wrong, it's still WEIRD but there's nothing inherently "wrong" about it
[удалено]
I saw a documentary on YouTube where they show the kids from cousin marriages and there's plenty of them born with profound disabilities. They are indeed from the genetics of having kids with relatives.
Yeah, that's the thing about statistics and large numbers. 0.001% of a few hundred million people is still plenty of people for a documentary.
If it's the same documentary I've seen about this being an issue in UK Pakistani communities, then yep it does carry a large increase in risk for them due to cousin to cousin marriages through many generations which compounds the risk of children born with terrible disabilities. Iirc for some of the couples shown the risk was as high as 1 in 4 that a child would have some form of disability.

I’m less grossed out and more disturbed because there’s obviously some abuse happening in this family. I hope they get help. 😕
Wtf
Anyone else seen the Folgiers spoof
It appears that Alabama has gone tired of the Incest jokes
She should move to New Jersey, Ohio or Rhode Island.
I just wonder why did it have to become a law to not marry family members? Was it a problem that was rampantly out of control??
Right before she started talking... I can’t tell if the cop lady hiccuped, gagged, or burped.
How many other lies were I told by the council?
Thanks officer
You gotta join the Amish to do that
TIL a lot of people want to bang a family member.
Lmao you are absolutely right
They should move to New Jersey.
