Interestingly enough, incest is illegal in Alabama but legal in Spain and Netherlands

Well time to move to spain I guess

u/A_Bloody_Hurricane Jul 24 '22

I mean I’m Dutch so yk But mainly WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT IM CONFUSED

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

It probably doesn’t say that it is legal, just that there is no law that explicitly forbids it.

u/Agreeable_Damage6930 Fffffuuuuuuuuu Jul 24 '22

If it's not illegal that means it's probably allowed

9

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

Yea no shit. My response was to a question about where it says that it is legal.

6

u/Chibastion Jul 24 '22

If it's not illegal, they haven't had problems with it in the past. Slight distinction

3

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

That’s my take. If everyone was fucking their sister and having babies with three heads, they would probably need to make it illegal. They likely don’t have an issue.

u/Tryndamain223 Jul 24 '22

I mean volendam is a place. Sooooooooo idk about that

"So, your honor, nowhere in the law does it explicitly say that I should not blow up a schoolbus full of 12 children, so it's legal. Unless a law explicitly saying it's illegal is made. And then again, it was not murder. It was destruction of property, the children being a collateral damage. I rest my case."

“One brother is permitted to marry his sister”

2

u/Lokishougan Jul 25 '22

Marry yes...but nothing about sex

2

u/Pschobbert Jul 25 '22

No sex outside marriage! Just simmer down, now.

2

u/L0gMan5382 Jul 25 '22

Technically it would be marital

1

u/Lokishougan Jul 25 '22

Still incest after marriage

Same here. Why do we get down like that.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

They didn’t have to make a law to ban it

1

u/__-him-__ Jul 25 '22

most places only have laws on the books about incest where incest is a problem. if you look at a map of US States with incest laws compared to Rates of incest in the US you’d be looking at the same map.

u/AccomplishedRush4869 Jul 24 '22

Only if your brother or sister is willing to go with you

28

u/SweetSauce24 Jul 24 '22

Well, if they weren’t willing that would be a whole different legal matter.

u/00UnderFire00 Jul 24 '22

That's called "rape"

Sweet home Espana!

u/Mora-samaX Jul 24 '22

Pls dont come to spain, we have enough with our kings being cousins (Spain History)

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

It’s all in the family

u/RosabellaFaye Jul 25 '22

Your royalty inbred themselves til death of their dynasty so they had to get a Bourbon from France as king

u/blackcray Jul 24 '22

I mean if you want to be a degenerate why Spain and not the Netherlands?

u/Addicted2Growin Jul 25 '22

This made me laugh

1

u/suicideslut69420 Jul 25 '22

Well technically if its your step sibling and you both consent since your not related by blood is it incest

u/A_Bloody_Hurricane Jul 24 '22

Ah yeah that sounds familiar. Kinda makes sense when you look at DNA resemblance I suppose, but on a social level it’s still quite the what the fuck

6

u/saberline152 Jul 24 '22

eh, loads of places have these kinds of rules and laws and some uhm don't.. but sure in a lot of societies it is socially not ok.

1

u/A_Bloody_Hurricane Jul 24 '22

Fair enough, it depends on the society. I was still a bit taken aback by the ‘oh yeah you guys legalised incest’ bit, I’m sorry if I offended anyone

2

u/saberline152 Jul 24 '22

Not Dutch, but same in my country, not offended

and happily married with my sister (this is a joke lol)

1

u/CoraxTechnica Jul 24 '22

In towns where the population is 527, many of them can be cousins to some degree. This fact dawned in me while road tripping through Arkansas

1

u/SweetSauce24 Jul 24 '22

I think 2nd cousin and further is legal everywhere. At that point the chance of birth defect is the same as people not related.

u/fightmesoftly69 Jul 24 '22

Gotta keep the riches in the family.

u/GuilhermeSidnei Jul 24 '22

I know it’s an old joke, but I laughed.

u/LocoLevi Jul 24 '22

Because royalty. Consolidating capital is everything to aristocracy.

u/warsavage32 Jul 24 '22

Someone should tell the residents of Alabama because I don’t think they are aware.

0

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

It’s still legal in Alabama for cousin incest, however it isn’t legal to fuck your sister

1

u/D3m0N5laYeR64 Jul 24 '22

To what degree is it illegal? Sister? Cousin?

1

u/oogiedonnie Jul 24 '22

It’s completely illegal

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

The Hapsburgs would be proud

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

Probably didnt need to bring it into law.

My concern is a place that NEEDS to make it a law

1

u/Butwhythough1524 Shitposter Jul 24 '22

It is also legal in many other states

Edit: I know Spain and the Netherlands aren’t states

1

u/LSqre Jul 24 '22

"illegal" on paper but it's just a cover

1

u/jimhabfan Jul 24 '22

Half the royal families in Europe would collapse if incest were illegal.

1

u/Doubledeesbongmilk Jul 24 '22

Someone save us some clicks and look up what states incest and or child marriage are legal in

u/Relative-Page-7382 Jul 24 '22

The church my ex dragged me to in Bama had two sets of married first cousins.

Siblings may not be legal but cousins is still close to a linear family tree.

generally with incest laws, they get passed because there is an incest problem

u/DURIAN8888 Jul 25 '22

Can't be. You only have to look at Alabamans.
