Kennedy v. Louisiana

I removed the section on the June 25, 2008 United States Supreme Court ruling in Kennedy v. Louisiana for factual errors (It's not the 'USA Supreme Court,' there aren't 54 states in the Union, etc.) and because the case was about child rape, not incest. -Ddawn23 (talk) 07:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Billboard

Or something like that. I removed a bit of self-promotion but left the mention of the individual in question. I'd add a [citation needed] tag if I remembered how. 66.91.223.207 (talk) 07:26, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

German incest law

Why was there some kind of case study report instead of the actual legal situation? Doesn't make any sense IMHO, instead of it I'm going to write down a translated abstract from the German Wiki article [1]. 85.181.186.210 (talk) 14:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a lot of work

There are very few references here, and mach of it has no references at all. To take just one, Belgium - "Incest is legal in Belgium." Do we have any references and what is the definition of incest in Belgium?--Lord Don-Jam (talk) 11:06, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As no one has come back to me on this and we have even more ones like "Incest is legal in Belgium", without telling us what the definition of incest in Belgium or any giving any kind of references to back it up. I think we shod take all the one like it out. If no one gets back to me soon, then I shall go and do.--Lord Don-Jam (talk) 10:22, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The same thing could be said about France, since both have similar legal codes. I think I have read correctly that French laws are considerably more tolerant about incest than other countries. [2] However, there appears to have been a more recent law in January 2010 that re-outlawed incest after more than 200 years of decriminalization. [3] ADM (talk) 12:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

United Kingdom

The criminal law in the UK is divided into that of Scotland, that of England and Wales, and that of Northern Ireland. Scotland certainly has a different law of incest and so I have amended the section accordingly)..
