Taboos around incest are there for a reason

Since Tory MP Richard Holden called for first-cousin marriage to be banned in the UK earlier this month, few people have been prepared to speak in favour of the practice. While not unheard of among white British families, cousin marriage is rare and viewed as rather odd. So, when writer Charles Amos agreed to speak to GB News in defence of such relationships, we welcomed the opportunity for debate.

The interview with Andrew Pierce and myself took an unexpected turn when, having argued against a ban on cousin marriage on the grounds that the state should not interfere in such matters, I asked Amos if this view extended to sibling marriage. He replied that it did, and expanded on his answer to imply that even sexual relationships between fathers and daughters should not necessarily be off-limits.

'Individuals should be free to marry and have children with whoever they want…'

Writer, Charles Amos, joins GB News to describe why he believes individuals should be free to form a relationship with anyone, including incestuous relationships with cousins or siblings.
