[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 807783, member: 2189"] Got curious on that myself so earlier today looked it up. Incest across most cultures has been an act involving blood kin and not kin by marriage. In America, many states also hold to the same standard but many states also hold that kin by marriage also doth apply. Some examples I found: [I]Bouvier's Law Dictionary[/I] 1897' edition [I]Punishment of Incest Act, [/I]England in 1908' And for obvious reasons I'll likely regret quoting this one: [I]Canadian Criminal Code[/I], at §155(1) defines incest as: Seems to be a mixed bag to some extent but for me I always considered it a blood kin kinda thing. Morgan dabbling a [B]17 year old[/B] now may be another matter but incest being she's not his blood kin? Not in my book! [/QUOTE]
