    Romania looks to Legalize "consensual adult incest"

    Three European Union nations — France, Spain and Portugal — do not prosecute consenting adults for incest, and Romania is considering following suit...

    Laws exempting parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters from prosecution for incestuous acts if they are not forced upon adult family members are decades old in France, Spain and Portugal.

    In Romania, decriminalizing incest among consenting adults is being considered as part of a wide range of reforms to the country's criminal code. No date has been set yet for a parliament vote on the bill, and opposition to the proposal is fervent even among some lawmakers in the ruling coalition...

    Currently all forms of incest in Romania are punishable by up to seven years in prison. But Romania's Justice Ministry suggests the new legislation would move the country — which joined the European Union two years ago — closer legally to some other EU members.
    An ever closer union Another EU bandwagon for people to jump on!

    You're thinking of Tuam and Rathkeale.
