I understand in parts of South India, cousins marrying, uncles marrying nieces etc probably still happens.
But in most cases it is with the agreement of the family.
If we are talking about incest due to force, I wont call that incest but rape. Period. Marryin a cousin is incest to me. Maybe not in its absolute negative connotation, but that is something I can never imagine doing and hence is a taboo for me and hence I dont understand it. But, it is done.
Incest via force is not incest but rape. Incest because both are adults and chose to do so, is still a no no for me, but that is a different topic.
Sorry for being all over the place on this one.
