NPOV? Incest
I'm not sure the framing of Incest on this template is entirely NPOV. While I appreciate the effort to organise matters, incest isn't considered a crime (or even wrong) in all cultures, so having a big "family law - crimes" template at the top of the page isn't entirely neutral. Perhaps we could split out the incest-with-childeren-in-modern-cultures section and only put the template on that? --fvw* 04:24, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Virtually all cultures condemn some kinds of incest (e.g. mother/son) even between consenting adults - just as virtually all cultures permit unfettered relationships with blood relatives outside a certain degree of separation (condemndation of "incest" between, say, 5th cousins twice removed, would be inconceivable). So long as this is developed in the incest article, which I believe it is, then I think the template link is fine. BD2412 talk 05:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- in many cultures incest it's legal. And in even more cultures adultery it's not a crime. This kinf of language is far from neutral, and extremly offensive.
- As a compromise position, I've titled the section "Areas of possible legal concern" - which they most definitely are. Even if adultery is not a crime, it is grounds for a divorce (and hence a legal concern) throughout the U.S., Canada, the UK, China, India, Australia, and probably most other countries. Similarly, there are many jurisdictions where a bigamous or incestuous marriage may be annulled, even though no criminal prosecution would follow. BD2412 T 17:55, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Cohabitation
Cohabitation probably should be referenced - not sure where. -- Paul foord 10:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
