Most countries that have no strict laws against incest still prohibit sexual exploitation of minors - meaning many forms of incest would be illegal because it is considered statutory rape
France is set to outlaw incest as other countries in Europe still allow it.
Under French law, incest is only banned if children are involved however the government announced earlier this year they want to criminalise incestuous relationships even when both parties are over 18.
Until the law comes in, France joins Spain and Portugal as the only European countries without legislating prohibiting incest involving adults.
Campaigners say this "fails to protect children who could be born” of incestuous relationships - who are more likely to have genetic issues and abnormalities.
Incest was thrust into the national conversation in France last year following the publication of a harrowing book claiming a well-known political pundit had sexually abused his teen stepson in the 1980s.
Olivier Duhamel, 71, admitted the allegations but did not face prosecution because of the French statute of limitations.
While France looks to move to outlaw incest, other European countries have varying legislation surrounding it.
It is illegal in the UK and punishable by up to two years imprisonment for both parties (in the case of consensual adult intercourse).
Most countries that have no laws against incest still prohibit the sexual exploitation of minors - meaning many forms of incest would be illegal because it is considered statutory rape.
Some countries forbid incest between minors and adults, but if both parties are in a similar age category (both minors or both adults) it is not prohibited - this includes Serbia, Lithuania, and Slovenia.
In Spain and Netherlands, consensual incest is fully legal, but siblings may not marry - and this includes stepfamily members.
In Belgium and Luxembourg, there are no laws that prohibit consenting adults from engaging in an incestuous relationship.
Bizarrely, in Italy, incest is only illegal if it provokes a "public scandal" - and the punishment is up to eight years in prison, but can be increased for the older person if one of them was a minor.
In Portugal, there is no law specifically prohibiting incest.
Other countries prohibit incest if the couple is of the opposite sex but allow it they are of the same sex - which includes the Republic of Ireland.
It comes as incestuous siblings in Germany are calling for an end to laws banning their disturbing relationship.
Patrick Syuebing and his younger sister Susan Karolewski fell in love and had four children together.
They were reunited more than 20 years after he moved into a foster home in then East Germany when he was attacked by their father.
Six months after he rediscovered his biological family, the then 23-year-old and Susan, who is mentally disabled, started sharing a bedroom after the death of their mother, Ana Marie.
Their illegal pairing has produced four children, two of whom are severely disabled.
In 2001 the pair vowed to change Germany’s laws making sex between siblings illegal, which they took to the Court of Human Rights in 2012.
Patrick served two jail sentences for incest charges at that time.
There are currently 22 nations around the world which have not criminalised incest, including Argentina, Brazil, Japan, South Korea and Turkey.
The practice is punishable by death in the likes of Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Nigeria.
In the US, incest laws vary by state, for example, in Idaho it is punished with life in prison and in New Jersey, incestuous relationships are tolerated as long as both parties are at least 12 years old.

A MOTHER and son who were allegedly caught having sex by the man's wife are now facing up to 20 years in prison for incest.
Tony L Lavoie, from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was allegedly caught having sexual relations with his mother, Cheryl Lavoie, aged 64, on May 20.
The 43-year-old, who lived with his mother at the same address, said it was the first time the incident had occurred.
"I don’t know. It just happened," an officer reported Tony saying, according to the Sentinel and Enterprise.
Police were initially called to the house to respond to a disturbance, and an officer was met by the cousin of Tony's wife.
The cousin told the officer that Tony's wife had called her after she walked in on the pair.
The officer spoke to the mother and son separately, the local paper reported, and both acknowledged they had had consensual sexual relations.
Cheryl Lavoie said the incident had happened as the pair had grown closer over the past few months, and they started having sex when they began kissing.
Fitchburg police charged the mother and son with incest and issued them a summons to appear at Fitchburg District Court on Aug. 20, Mass Live reported. The charge is a felony.
The pair were arraigned last week, and released on personal recognizance.
The judge ordered them to stay away from one another, according to court documents.
They both pleaded not guilty, and will return to court on October 27 for a pretrial hearing.
A person convicted of incest in the state can be jailed for up to 20 years.
