So far I found Jace's points ridiculous.
BUT: The health issue doesn't apply. You could make incestuous sex illegal and still have incestuos marriage legal.
Anyway, why would somebody want to marry someone closely related? Well, this is a dead end way of discussion.


Incestous marriage only happened in royal families to keep there blood line 'pure'. Of course most of the descendants had Hemophilia (when the blood doesn't clot) if I remember correctly. Why some still do it now...only those involved know.
