2 Years of Service
I'm reminded of a German couple who were brother sister and ended up in court after having 4 kids, 2 of whom were disabled. Very disturbing...
"Cases of Stübing v. Germany - Wikipedia
The Cases of Stübing v. Germany involve a series of criminal prosecutions and appeals surrounding Patrick Stübing and Susan Karolewski, two German siblings who have had four children in an incestuous relationship with each other. Stübing has served several prison sentences for violating German laws prohibiting sexual intercourse between siblings, and Karolewski has been held under supervision for the same. The couple have been allowed to keep only their fourth child. Stübing eventually obtained a vasectomy. Their case has featured in public debate about whether sibling sexual relations should be decriminalised in German...

The couple's first two children are slightly mentally and physically disabled; the third was born with a heart defect that was corrected with surgery. All three were placed in foster care.[2] Karolewski's fourth child, a daughter born in 2005, was born healthy and was not taken from her.[1] At a third trial in 2005, she was again placed under supervision of a social worker and not convicted of anything, while Stübing was sentenced to 14 months in prison.[2][6][7] His lawyer appealed to the Federal Constitutional Court;[1][2] Stübing's appeal was denied in March 2008, and in April 2012 he lost an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (Right to respect for private and family life).[3][7]
...
Under paragraph 173 of the German criminal code, sexual relations between close relatives are illegal and punishable by up to three years in prison.[1][10] However, most cases of incest are instead prosecuted as child abuse.[2]
In 2014, in response to the case of Stübing and Karolewski, the German Ethics Council voted in favour of decriminalising consensual incest between siblings, while the CDU party of then-Chancellor Angela Merkel opposed abolition of the law.[10] Legality of incest between adult biological siblings is not always treated the same as other kinds of incest such as between adult cousins or between parents and their adult children, and laws have been amended in the case of consensual adult incestuous relationships in Brazil, France, Japan, and Turkey.[7]"
