Incest could soon become legal in Switzerland as the Swiss government is considering repealing its laws on sexual relations between family members, according to a media report.

The government is claiming that the law banning incest is 'obsolete' and there have been only three such cases since 1984, the Telegraph reported. "The upper house of the Swiss parliament has drafted a law decriminalising sex between consenting family members which must now be considered by the government," it said.
