Incest is a crime of sexual intercourse or cohabitation between a man and woman who are related to each other within the degrees wherein marriage is legally prohibited. Incest is a sexual offence that could land you in prison for over 10 years or for life if the complainant is a relative of below 18 years old.
In some countries, incest laws aim to promote security, unity with the family and to prevent genetic problems that often occur in babies whose parents are related. Back home, Section 201(1) of the Sexual Offences Act (SOA) prohibits sexual relationships between a man and his daughter, granddaughter, sister, mother, niece, aunt or grandmother.
