Well, yes, but apparently it was a law of the Church. When you marry, your spouse's family becomes your family. Apparently that was interpreted that if you married your late spouse's sibling, that was incest, because it was like you married your own sibling.

Yes, dumb law.
I agree. One of my best friends has been happily married to her step-brother for over 20 years. They were both well into adulthood when they first met, though, so it's not like they even grew up together. I can't remember whether they met through their parents or vice-versa.

But according to that law, it would be incest, either way.

So...yeah... dumb law.

Amazon has the right to sell or not sell anything it wants to. What makes me very angry is that Amazon removes items from the Kindle whenever it wants to. If I buy something that is not illegal, who are you to take it from me? That's thievery.

My cousin has a Kindle and constantly encouraged me to purchase one, but their CS leaves a lot to be desired. No thank you.

In honor of Jane Austen's birthday, I shall point out that in her day (late 18th, early 19th centuries) it was illegal to marry your late wife's sister (for men) or your late husband's brother (for women). That was considered incestuous.

Jane's brother Charles did that, incidentally--married his late wife's sister, who acted as his housekeeper/babysitter after said wife died in childbirth--but they had to go to France to do it.
It was illegal in the UK until 1907. I always call it the Dead Wife's Sister Act instead of the legal name. A man couldn't marry his brother's widow until 1921 though.

So what is wrong with using the word [edited]? If you plan on censoring or changing things please let the us know what it is you are changing and why. Censoring the word [edited]is childish.

Where have you been all that time? To another universe? Haven't you paid any attention? There are far too many spiteful kids on this forum. They must be bared from accessing the Internet in the first place. However, they are not. So, our dear moderators are doing their best to preserve their (kids' mostly not their own) innocence and are forced to censor.

The problem is the moderators are going too far here and they are not even saying why they are going too far. We should not be treated like children.
