Incest is defined as a sexual activity between family members who are prohibited to marry due to their close kinship. Incest constitutes a crime in most countries and the United States is one of them. The U.S. approach regarding this crime, however, needs some reexamination. Yet, this Article is only about “consensual” and “adult” incest. Incestuous relation between adults and those under the age of consent is considered a form of child sexual abuse, and it is beyond the scope of this Article. So, when the author refers to "incest", the author means consensual relationship between related adults by blood or marriage.
