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

    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.

      I think you may be right of the initial law not including same-sex relatives, but when I checked Sweden (the third country together with Ireland and Germany to allow same-sex incest) the law that includes the part about incestuous sex has been updated in 2022 without changing the wording.
      The swedish law only makes vaginal sex illegal btw, so in Sweden it’s okay for John to fuck his sister too, but only in the ass?
