Incestuous German pair fight case

Let's bring back some *respectable* culture, shall we?

A German brother and sister who lived as a couple and had one son were
going to Germany's highest court to try to legalise their relationship
before their untimely demise.

The 29-year-old brother had already spent more than two years in
prison for sleeping with his sister, and except for his demise, would
be incarcerated again, his lawyer said.

The pair were drawing up an appeal to take before Germany's
constitutional court.

They argued they were being denied the right to sexual freedom.

The pair did not grow up together. Siegmund, the brother, had been
raised by his father, a somewhat morose individual with an eye patch,
while his sister, Sieglinde, grew up with their mother.

But when he reached adulthood he became a fugitive from some
disgruntled tribespeople. He took refuge in a house that had an
enormous tree with a sword stuck it, and there he met Sieglinde.

Siegmund and Sieglinde ran off together and several months later their
son, Siegfried, was born. He was subsequently taken into foster care
by a whiny, suffering-from-low-esteem individual named "Mime".

The whole affair came to a bad end. Siegmund was killed in battle,
Sieglinde died in childbirth, Mime was throttled for serving up some
very bad soup, Siegfried killed the last surviving member of an
endangered species and went on to shack up with his aunt.

OK, where's the problem? They are taking their case through the court
system, and from what has gone before it seems a fairly hopeless case
since every court so far has ruled against them.

Do you object to people being able to challenge laws they feel are
wrong? Do you hate independant judges ruling on matters of law?
Seriously, why did this case catch your eye?

Incestuous German pair fight case

A German brother and sister who live as a couple and have four
children are going to Germany's highest court to try to legalise their
relationship.

The 29-year-old brother has already spent more than two years in
prison for sleeping with his sister, and could be incarcerated again,
his lawyer said.

The pair are currently drawing up an appeal to take before Germany's
constitutional court.

They argue they are being denied the right to sexual freedom.

The pair did not grow up together. Patrick, the brother, had been
adopted by a couple from Potsdam while his sister, Susan, grew up with
their mother.

But when he reached adulthood he wanted to track down his biological
parents. He found his mother, and he met Susan.

About six months later, the mother died, and Patrick moved in with
Susan. In 2001, their son, Erik, was born. He was subsequently taken
into foster care.

Three more children were born between 2003 and 2005. In November of
that year, the pair were tried for incest.

Patrick was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison. His sister,
then 21, was put into the care of youth services.

According to Spiegel online, while Patrick was in prison Susan had a
fifth child with another man.

Their lawyer, Endrik Wilhelm, told the BBC News website that the pair
are now living together again and plan to lodge their case within six
weeks.

Meanwhile, in the United States, the race for the nomination of the
"conservative" party candidate for President is currently being led by
a man who was once married to his cousin.

Adult siblings fucking each other - this is the sort of pressing issue
that concerns you?
