   Incest is sexual intercourse between closely related people. It includes relationships like in-laws, stepsiblings and stepparents. Marriage is forbidden among these closely related people by the society both legally and culturally. Apart from the actual intercourse it also includes various sexual relations like fondling or petting by family members and relatives. Thus it is taboo and forbidden in not only old cultures and traditions but also in most of the modern cultures and religions. It is considered a crime in most countries but the definition and the extent of closeness vary from place to place.
   
   It is a punishable offence but as it usually happens between closed doors and is interpersonal it is hard to enforce the law against incest particularly if it is done with mutual consent. It also refers to child sexual abuse in certain contexts. Incest can happen in any family and can happen one time or be an on-going problem. It is a violation of trust and authority that the child places on that person.
