→...although it would still be considered [[incest]]: Not necessarily.
:The action is still considered incest. True, it is still stated that it isn't immoral, but it is undeniable that it is incest. If the theory that they had sex with their mother is true, then it ''is'' incest, whether the phrase looks nice or not. [[User:The Haunted Angel|The Haunted Angel]] 12:04, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

::I wasn't disputing that it was incest. I was asking what mentioning that adds to the article, as the only information that it conveys was already in the article.
::However, I will dispute it now, as far as the brothers and sisters are concerned. I was thinking that incest is sexual intercourse between closely-related people, but it's actually "''sexual intercourse between persons too closely related to marry''". Using "incest" in this case presumes that it was at the time improper for brother and sister to marry, but this is a case of applying today's standards to the time, and there is good reason for thinking that it was okay at the time.
