Question

The incest taboo:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The incest taboo varies across cultures, but it generally prohibits sexual relations with certain categories of kin, such as parents, children, siblings, and sometimes other close relatives like grandparents or cousins. While some cultures may prohibit marriages between first cousins (A), this is not a universal practice. Prohibiting sexual relations with anyone on the father's side of the family (B) is not a common form of the incest taboo. Prohibiting marriage between clan members (D) is also not necessarily related to the incest taboo. Finally, the incest taboo typically prohibits sexual relations between parent and child, but it also extends beyond this relationship (E).
