The relationship was defined as an incestuous one, and reprieves were rare. Today, Swedish legislation is among the most liberal in the world. How can such a radical change be accounted for? The earliest prohibitions against incest came from the Bible, which is why biological kinship and kinship based on marriage were held to be equivalent. Consequently, incest prohibitions around 1700 covered many more relationship categories than exist today. Right up to the late nineteenth century, most incest crimes corresponded to voluntary unions between two adults who were not related by blood. Analysing both incest crimes and applications for dispensation to marry from 1680 to 1940, this book reveals the norms underpinning Swedish society?s shifting attitudes to incestuous relations, while considering developments in relation to other European countries. Making a remarkable contribution to social and legal history, 'Incest in Sweden' reveals that, while the debate on incest has historically been dominated by religious, moral and ? in due course ? medical notions, the values that actually determined the outcome of incest cases were frequently of a quite different character." -- Publisher.. 606 $aIncest$zSweden$xHistory 606 $aIncest$xLaw and legislation$zSweden$xHistory 606 $aIncest$xReligious aspects 610 $aincest 610 $aincest taboo 610 $akinship 610 $amarriage applications 610 $afamily hierarchy 610 $afamily history 610 $acultural history 615 0$aIncest$xHistory. 615 0$aIncest$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aIncest$xReligious aspects. 676 $a364.1536 700 $aClementsson$b Bonnie$f1969-$0953295 712 02$aManchester University Press, 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910424944203321 996 $aIncest in Sweden, 1680?1940$92155077 997 $aUNINA
