if you can tell me how you're related, then it's incest

well we're all related through god so we're all loving eachothers cousins

yee-haw

[rambo1220]

direct sibling and cousin loving is obvious incest, but if it's a cousin that you're only related to by marriage or something and have no blood relation to whatsoever then dont think there's an issue there

[Mega-Bear]

I think the law says 4th cousin or beyond is no longer incestuous. It might be 3rd cousin. Not sure.

[ahoy]

3rd cousin is way too closely related for me, it might be 4th.

[Alternat¡ve]

Fun fact: 25% of marriages are between fourth cousins, and 80% of those couples never realize they are fourth cousins.

[sir dooble]

In the UK first-cousin marriage is legal.

Also, the average Briton has 5 first-cousins, 28 second-cousins, 175 third-cousins, 1570 fourth-cousins, 17300 fifth-cousins and 174000 sixth-cousins.
That's on average 2 cousins per square mile.

So if you count all cousins as incestuous then you have your work cut out for you in avoiding them.
