Also: probably the worse wikipedia page to accidentally send to the family group chat 👀

    Then you have the really weird combos like Jamaica that forbids same-sex couples (regardless of incest) but allows opposite-sex couples (also regardless of incest). So it’s okay for John to fuck his sister but not his brother.

          Public scandal is actually a somewhat well defined thing.

          It has nothing to do with other people judging if it is or isn’t.

          Because for it to qualify as a public scandal your in the fucking news and EVERYONE knows. Not just “people” but a FUCK load of “people” and it’s causing problems not just for you, but for everyone involved and even some people who are not.

          It’s become a literal public problem.

        Makes more sense if you’re simply trying to avoid offspring from close relatives. John fucking his brother won’t result in that after all.

          I think it’s more the case that the moral panic didn’t think of that at the time the law was created. It’s not like you need a law to allow you anything, laws only forbid.
