In AD 295, incest was explicitly forbidden by an imperial edict, which divided the concept of <i>incestus</i> into two categories of unequal gravity: the <i>incestus iuris gentium</i>, which was applied to both Romans and non-Romans in the Empire, and the <i>incestus iuris civilis</i>, which concerned only Roman citizens. Therefore, for example, an Egyptian could marry an aunt, but a Roman could not.

It is inevitable for Bible literalists to accept that the first children of Adam and Eve would have been in incestuous relations as we regard it today. However, according to the Bible, God's law forbidding incest had not at that time been given to men and was delivered to Moses after Adam and Eve were created. Protestant Christians who adopt the Old Testament as part of their rule of faith and practice distinguish between the ceremonial law and the moral law given to Moses, with the demands of the ceremonial law being fulfilled by Christ's atoning death. Protestants view Leviticus 18:6–20 as part of the moral law and still applicable, thus condemning sexual/marriage relations between a man and his mother, sister, stepsister, or stepmother (if a man has more than one wife, it is forbidden for a son to have relations with or marry any of his father's wives), aunt, granddaughter, or his brother's wife. Leviticus 18 goes on to condemn relations between a man and the daughter of a woman he is having relations with and the sister of a woman he has had sexual relations with while the first sister is still alive. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Common_Prayer" title="Book of Common Prayer">Book of Common Prayer</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Anglican_Communion" title="Anglican Communion">Anglican Communion</a> allows marriages up to and including first cousins.<sup id="cite_ref-169" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-169"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>169<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic Church</a> regards incest as a sin against the <a href="/wiki/Marriage_in_the_Catholic_Church" title="Marriage in the Catholic Church">Sacrament of Matrimony</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-170" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-170"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>170<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> For the Catholic Church, at the heart of the immorality of incest is the corruption and disordering of proper family relations.

St. Paul stigmatizes this especially grave offense: 'It is actually reported that there is immorality among you...for a man is living with his father's wife...In the name of the Lord Jesus...you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh....' Incest corrupts family relationships and marks a regression toward animality. <b>2389</b> Connected to incest is any sexual abuse perpetrated by adults on children or adolescents entrusted to their care.
