THIS shocking map shows countries in Europe where incest is LEGAL.

In the UK, sex between immediate family members is against the law, under terms of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

But not so far from our shores, it's no crime for brothers and sisters to get it on.

The map, which was created on mapchart.net and shared on Reddit, uses a colour code to show where incest is illegal or otherwise.

And the results just might shock you.

While England, Scotland and Wales have outlawed inter-family relations, incest between same-sex siblings in the Republic of Ireland is not illegal.

That's more because the Punishment of Incest Act 1908 assumes relations between males and females.

Incest between a man and a woman is punishable for the female and up to life for the male.

Consensual incest is fully legal in Spain, Russia, and is not strictly prohibited under Portuguese law.

There is also no law prohbiting consenting relatives from having sex in France, Belgium and Luxembourg,

In Italy, incest is illegal only if it provokes public scandal - when it can suddenly become punishable from two to eight years in jail.

Under the Family Code of Russia, people who are related as siblings, half-siblings, a stepparent and a stepchild, may not marry.

It's also legal for people in the Netherlands - although star-crossed family members are not allowed to marry.

In countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, In Greece, incest is outlawed for adults, but there is nothing to stop minors.

In 2016 a petition was lodged in Scotland calling for "Adult Consensual Incest" to be decriminalised, but was never debated.

Earlier this month we revealed how a dad in North Carolina left his wife for his own daughter, and allegedly fathered her child.

We also reported how a girl in Spain has reportedly given birth to her 14-year-old brother's baby.

Last year an eye-opening Reddit thread featured people in real incestuous relationships opening up on their taboo love.
