Yes, it is in England. Yes, there is most definitely a prison sentence.

In England incest formerly was not generally treated as a crime, although, along with other offences against morals, it was made punishable by death in 1650. In 1908 however, an act (The Punishment of Incest Act 1908) was passed. In 2003 a revision of earlier statues was passed, which made life inprisonment one of the various punishments, depending on the nature of the offense. See the link below for more information.

Yes and yes.

Even in tribes who have been untouched by modern life incest is taboo, not only is it vile, but no good from a genetic point of view.

I believe it is illegal, and even if it isn't it is incredibly morally, socially and physically damaging. Best idea is to not even think about it!!

yes it is illegal, sentence wise I'm not sure of the minimum. its is however abnormal and disgusting and a brilliant way to end up with mutated offspring, get yourself beaten to a pulp if discovered and ruin lives.

Yes it is illegal. I discovered that a former girlfriend regularly slept with her brother who was most probably her father too. None of them ever went to prison. Shame though coz they were a family of thieves that never ever worked for a living!!!
