incest taboo
Définition
- The incest taboo, considered a universal taboo, forbids marriage or sexual relations with a close relative. However, there are problems with any definition of the incest taboo because the definition of “close relative” varies tremendously among different cultures, the taboo is universal only with very inconsistent applications, some writers restrict the definition to opposite-gender relations, and there are major violations, whatever the definition.
