Do you think incestuous relationships will ever be legally protected?

As long as the parties involved are legally consenting adults, will the law ever be changed to allow for this barrier to be broken?

 

Nope, never will be.

 

It is legal in some countries.

I have high hopes that all legal discrimination against consenting adults will eventually be overturned, but it's a long road until that becomes the norm.

 

But that's just legal about sex. Discrimination, prejudice and stigmatization against incest are still not prohibited at any legal level. So when incestuous people's secrets are exposed, even if they can avoid being arrested, they will face disgust, exclusion, humiliation from other relatives, friends or colleagues. The ending is often that they have to leave the place of residence, flee to a strange place and start a helpless life, or even commit suicide due to unbearable pressure-it's not much better than going to prison.

 

Realistically never, even if some laws changed, people just can't mind their business about what other consenting adutlts do

 

Will they be protected? No. Should they be? Yes if we are talking about adults.

They will always lean on this when their ideals are challenged.

 

En France quand the personns involded in an incestuous relationship are over 18, there’s no legal persecussion

 

I don't think it will ever be legal (where it's illegal).
I think that's a shame. Why should people be forbidden to have sex with each other? Whether related or not.
I know the genetics argument.
But how many actually do incest? And those who do, often do it just for fun and not because they're in a real relationship. This means that many do not want children with their relatives at all.

And those who want it shouldn't matter arithmetically.

I think people should be allowed to sleep with whoever they want. Those who really want it do it anyway. Only secretly.

 

This might not be the right place to pose the question, but... Devil's advocate style...

Comparing with animal populations that regularly (but not preferentially) inbreed, Is it possible that we have so many bad alleles in the population BECAUSE of the prohibition on incest?

 

I think it depends on the age and how far (or close) the family relation goes. In many countries, cousin marriages is actually common.

 

in North America, No

 

Not in any western country timeline, unfortunately the reality is theres too much of a dark side to it for it ever to legally protected.

 

No, never.

 

I would love to be, but I don’t think it will happen where I live.

 

No i don't think so

 

It'd have to be like, a huge new-wave free love movement and "incest" would have to be a much, much smaller component of it. That's really far fetched and I'm not banking on it either, but man shit is weird right now, who knows what the next couple years could hold.
