How would you feel when you learned that incest and incest marriages are legal in your country?

Question

So I just learned that incest and incest marriages are legal in my country. Absolutely sickening.
The mentality that what consenting adults do in the bedroom needs to be stopped. The progressive agenda needs to die.

As long it's between consenting adults and they doesn't harm anyone, I don't see any reasons why it should be banned. Same reason why both straight and gay couples are allowed in most countries, but not pedophilia, is simply because of when it's consenting adults - they knows what they're consenting to and therefor won't be harmed. Same thing with incest.

A marriage or a relationship won't harm anyone. What about sex? It depends on what you mean with it. Not all sex consists of vaginal intercourse or pregnancy. With both contraceptives, sterilization and choosing the safe methods, it won't be an issue. The incestuous relationship itself won't be harmful, but inbreeding in several generations would be it. As long they're not getting any biological children, but adopts or have foster children instead, this problem would be solved. So sick children isn't really an excuse to make it illegal. Not all incestuous relationships are heterosexual either and some are homosexuals. So again, no pregnancies.

Therefor I think both siblings and cousins should be allowed staying in a relationship if they wants to. Actually, not all incest are biological. In some countries it's illegal even if it's between foster, adoptive or step family members. So technically the parents to two unmarried strangers can marry each others so the strangers can't stay in a relationship even if they fall in love, because then they would be step siblings. You can turn a foster or adoptive child when you're 16 - 17 years old. It's possible as long you're under 18. To you your siblings would be "strangers" you've recently met in this case, but the law doesn't care about it.

Incest between siblings are illegal in my country. Pedophilia is also illegal. But marriage between cousins are legal. I thinks it's okay.

I wouldn't really be phased.
Just because it is legal, doesn't mean you have to do it and if anyone does, while I do find it peculiar, I won't hate on someone for who they love even if that person is related to them. While this relationship choice is heavily judged by society, I see no reason to hate people based on their love <3 :)

Honestly I don't really care.

I couldn't fathom dating one of my family members, but a straight person couldn't fathom dating someone of the same gender. Just because we don't really understand it doesn't mean it's invalid.

I believe in minding my own business and letting people do whatever the hell they want as long as they're not hurting anyone.

I really don't know a country where some for of incest isn't legal. I think it shouldn't be illegal but should come with serialisation if you're found to be a willing participant.

In my country, sex between consenting persons above 16 is legal, no matter their relationship. Marriage is allowed, but not between siblings, or between (grand) parents and kids. However, it is allowed to marry a cousin. This is not common though, and I believe it's mainly done by people from muslim origin.

If it's between consenting adults, it's not up to the government to decide what is allowed and what not. I wouldn't want to engage in incest, but I don't see any point in making it illegal. It's not that the police enters your bedroom to check what you're doing anyway, so such laws would be very hard to maintain. It doesn't make sense to decide what people are doing in their bedrooms when it's consensual, even if it's morally not accepted. If we would look at moral values, there is a lot more that can be forbidden according to some. Laws should make sense, and not reflect specific morals.

It would make it easier  for relatives who are in love or at least in lust with eachother.

Green zone implies formal acceptance of incest?
In that case, a conservative nation such as India shouldn't be green.

If it's considered green, do any website provide statistical data? After all, how many people will admit to incest in any conservative/hypocritical nation?

ZeussLightningBolt · Answer

What do the different colors represent? Are the green where it's legal? Some Indian guy commented on a porn site that it's legal there, but Indian guys on GAG say it isn't

If it's legal in your country it's doubtful it's because of any modern political agenda. It's likely a remnant from a long time ago.

Progressives are not pushing to legalize incest. Get real with absurd fear mongering.

Rianee · Answer

The fact that it's legal tells something. Right? So better stop projecting your own image of what is "right" or "wrong" onto the world and get your dumb biases sorted.
