Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The incest taboo is a cultural and social norm that exists in almost all societies, prohibiting sexual relationships and marriage between close biological relatives. In most states, it is illegal to marry a first cousin, and even when it is legal, it is often stigmatized or discouraged due to the potential health problems that may arise in offspring of close biological relatives. Therefore, the incest taboo would prevent Maria and Paul from marrying. Choice B, C, and D are not relevant to this situation.
