Dear Ann Landers,
s it all right for a father to have sex with his daughter if both are consenting adults? I am 37, and my daughter, "Jean," is 20. My wife passed away two years ago. After she became ill, Jean assumed all the household responsibilities, and we became very close. We live here, just the two of us, and she is a wonderful cook and housekeeper. We have the same likes and dislikes and are compatible in every way. Jean is pretty and I am still a young man. Rather than move out of a home that she loves and look for a husband (and risk getting AIDS), Jean says she wants to stay with me. We have a wonderful time to-gether. She hasn't dated in several months because she would prefer to be with me more than any of the young men she knows. I love her company and am not interested in anyone else. Can a man legally marry his daughter? Please do not publish my name as it is a very controversial subject and I don't want to be ha-rassed. P.S. Does the Old Testament say anything about this? -Mr. X
