I don't know anybody who doesn't throw up in their mouth at the mention of having sex with their sibling or relative. I really would not worry about it. Move on to something more constructive and worth spending worry-energy on.
Like chris said; has your Kangaroo consented? When he/she can stand before witnesses and declare their love and devotion to you and you to it in a language common to the witnesses THEN you can marry your kangaroo.
The only rational reason for the prohibition of heterosexual incest is the resulting babies can be damaged by some double recessive genes expressing themselves. Most cultures have strong aversions to deliberately killing babies so incest is prohibited.
Animal breeders have used incest to change and, for their purposes, to improve the breed. This was done in the American south during slavery but, as slaves were not considered people, the owners could cull the defectives.
Which is why I'm saying 18. Make the minimum age of consent for marriage be 18 years of age.
The age of consent for sexual relations is 16 in most states than not. We are talking about copulation, not contracts, so it is the age of consent and not the age of majority that is a relevant consideration.
Are you suggesting that society should accept such behavior as being normal?
I suppose we've learned nothing from history, if so...
Only incestuous reproduction is anyone else's business to evaluate as "normal" or otherwise. I don't care if my neighbor gets off by sticking it in a electric socket, it doesn't hurt me or anyone else.
Inbreeding was a genetic problem back when people never left their villages and there were generations of inbreeding. Most 'defective babies' are the result of two non related people copulating. Does the right want to take their defective babies argument to the next level and demand genetics tests before people can copulate?
