the same weak argument being repeated again and again, incest is by definition of the word, sexual activity between members of a family or between relatives who have a blood relationship.It's honestly ironic to see someone come here and appeal to morality while seemingly knowing nothing about the topic.
Legally incest is forbidden either based on DNA shared or old customs.
Morally, the best reason I can come up with is not wanting your child to grow up with third arm, or something.
Being not blood related makes these reasons irrelevant.
The entire "they are family" argument is quite funny considering having sex with wife/husband is somehow not considered incest. They are considered family too last I checked.
Not all places consider blood involvement as incest, but most places not only do, but also consider involvement with adoptive relatives to be incest, in the same way that not all places consider sexual involvement or even marriage between relatives a crime.
I'm not trying to discuss the morality of the act and I also don't care if anyone here is carrying out the act or not, I'm saying that involvement with relatives is incest, I'm sorry if anyone has the illusion that it isn't.
So if in your example of a husband and wife, if they both have the same parents, the same grandparents or the same uncles, is incest, I'm sorry.
