Crimes related to sexual licentiousness are becoming more common. In which countries is incest permitted? It is not banned by law in a number of civilized states.
Instruction manual
1
Russia. This may seem strange, but incest is not prohibited by law in Russia. You can not marry relatives in an ascending straight line, for example, a father with a daughter, or a grandmother with a grandson. This also applies to adoptive parents with adopted children. Brother and sister also cannot get in touch. But no one mentions uncles and nieces, as well as cousins and cousins. Therefore, it is allowed.
2
Holland. This country is often spoken of as the freest in the laws. The legalization of marriages between homosexuals, the protection of their rights, the sale of soft drugs - all this is standard for Amsterdam. Incest in the Netherlands is not just allowed. Even marriages between siblings are recognized as legal here. The only condition for formalizing the connection is the age of the lovers. The difference in it should not be more than eight years.
3
Switzerland. The country that recently resolved incest. Since 2010, laws have changed in this advanced state with the highest standard of living. The article on criminal liability for this act suddenly disappeared from the code, which led the public to indignation.
4
France. Whether incest is allowed in this country is a moot point. The Civil Code prohibits marriages between immediate relatives since the 19th century. But there are no marks in the law about entering into sexual relations between adult people who are in consanguinity. Accordingly, this is considered a personal matter of the couples themselves.
5
Belgium. Forced marriages are forbidden in this European country; the violent factor is excluded a priori. But incest here is considered commonplace.
6
India. As a developing country, India does not prohibit incest as a form of relationship. In addition, the factor of adulthood is not taken into account there, as is customary in civilized states.
7
Azerbaijan. You can distinguish this country as the closest to Russia. Incest is allowed not only here, but also in many other countries of the East. This is especially true of the situation in the village. Traditions prevail, and marriage between cousins and sisters becomes the norm. Weddings are held solemnly. The ritual of demonstrating the sheet after the wedding night is common to all relatives.
note
Now incest is gradually becoming legal in Portugal, Norway, and even certain US states. The authorities of many countries are fighting to repeal such laws. In Germany, incest is recognized as criminal, followed by criminal liability. But the European community is increasingly expanding the freedom of sexual life of its citizens, abolishing the persecution of incest.
