Most countries legally prohibit marriage between full siblings (brother and sister) due to strong incest taboos and genetic concerns, with major examples including the USA (at state level), China, South Korea, Taiwan, France, Italy, and Japan, though specifics vary, with some allowing half-sibling or distant cousin marriages, while nations like Brazil and Sweden have specific exceptions, often for half-siblings, and some Islamic countries impose death penalties for incest.

Countries with General Bans (Including Siblings)

United States: Varies by state, but full sibling marriage is universally banned; some states allow half-sibling or cousin marriages.

China (Mainland): Prohibits marriage for blood relatives up to the third degree, including siblings.

South Korea & North Korea: Restrict marriage up to third cousins.

Taiwan: Prohibits marriage up to second cousins.

France: Forbids marriage between brothers, sisters, half-brothers, and half-sisters.

Italy: Prohibits marriage between first and second-degree relatives (siblings, parent-child).

Japan: Bans marriage between siblings.

India: Has laws restricting uncle-niece, and by extension, sibling marriages.

Countries with Specific Exceptions

Brazil: Allows half-sibling marriage with health checks; invalidates full sibling marriages.

Sweden: Permits half-sibling marriage under specific conditions.

Varying Penalties

While some nations, like Afghanistan, Brunei, and Iran, have severe penalties (including death) for incest, these often depend on specific circumstances and whether the act is consensual.

In essence, while prohibitions are widespread, the exact degree of kinship banned and the legal consequences differ significantly across jurisdictions, with a general global trend against full sibling marriage.

Is marrying one's brother unlawful in our country? Just curious.

Death penalty for that under Islamic law. Even so, she committed immigration fraud.

Omar is Somali fraud Exhibit A, and her district was the center of gravity in the massive Feeding Our Future fraud case that I wrote about in the Washington Free Beacon in March. Despite what you may think, Omar has made a valuable contribution to our history. She goes to show that there is such a thing as a new kind of political scandal. Mark Twain famously observed: "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress." And he hadn’t even met Omar.

I’m talking about Omar’s marriage to her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Trump may have garbled the specifics, but he got the upshot of the story right. Omar’s family brought Elmi over from London around 2002 to try to extract him from a gay lifestyle, and that is the context in which the congresswoman tied the knot with him.

Ah, I thought he looked very gay:

Repatriation. The put their family and clan back home up in estates and compounds. One thing Somali's hate as much or more than Westerners is a rival clan. They send $2B back PER YEAR (yet somehow need welfare?) and almost half of all Somalis get money from the USA. More in remittances is sent back annually than the Somalian "Government" spends in a year.
