Re: scholarly vice - guess what race ?
i believe incest is haram for muslims
but surprise surprise .. it's legal in some countries - so says this report :
"Incest is still socially and legally taboo in the United States, but attitudes may be changing in other parts of the world, at least when it involves adults and not minors.
Switzerland has proposed decriminalizing consensual sexual relationships between first-degree relatives, like siblings and also between parents and their adult children. Any coercive sex or incest with a minor would still be illegal.
Social conservatives in that country have called the bill "completely repugnant," and a survey has shown that 60 percent of the public opposes changing the law.
American psychologists and legal experts say that there are still sound reasons why incest should be illegal, even if it appears it is a choice between consenting adults.
"It is still a social taboo and the ick factor is much stronger than the criminal factor," said Professor Joanna L. Grossman, a professor of family law at Hofstra University in New York.
"I think these relationships are inherently coercive for the same reason that professors are not allowed to sleep with students in their classes," she said.
Consensual incest is legal in China, France, Israel, the Ivory Coast, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain and Turkey, according to a 2007 report from the Max Planck Institute in Germany. "
