Incest has serious implications. It can not only cause the birth of an unhealthy and abnormal child it will also create disruption to the family system.
A strong family structure and the hierarchy, based on seniority, builds up relationships in a human society. Incest will destroy this and the child of an incestuous relationship lives in great embarrassment and inadequacy the whole of his or her life.
Research has shown that many victims of incest have difficulty enjoying a normal adulthood, due to the physical and emotional hurt they suffered during their childhood. They succumb to drug and alcohol for relief. Many female victims become prostitutes. Studies also show that a big percentage of sex offenders were victims of sexual abuse.
The world is alive today due mainly to the existence of love, the family unit, a father and child relationship, motherly love. These will all be deeply shaken if incestuous activities and relationships are left unchecked.
