born of incest

No one gets a chance to choose their parents, when to be born, the economic stature of his family or even which part of the world to be born in. When a child is born regardless of the color of the mother, disabilities and the harshness of the environment and lifestyle, they smile, as a sigh of acceptance. We never choose to be born the way we are. A child is a sign of love and so they expect the world to love them back. The parents of the child make the decision to have it or not.

 A mother is raped by a relative and out of it a child is born; her live is torn between being a good mother and having to face the world with the shame that shall never go away, they bear the ridicule of the family and the pain of shuttered dreams. All over a sudden an uncle has now turned to be the father of the unborn child.

 In many cases incest is mainly a relative defiling an underage or raping an adult, but few cases the relation is consanguineous; that is they agree to the affair and even have children. Children born out of such a relation get confused of their linage, if it is a father and a daughter the child no longer have a grandfather and they get even more confused when they learn that they share a father with their mother. Two Germany siblings have four children and want the government to do away with laws that prohibit it so that they can lead a normal life as husband and wife. Patrick Stubbing met his sister at their mother’s funeral and they fell in love and out of it they have four children. ‘If they hadn't taken the first born the other three would have not been born’ claims stubbing. Some countries like America and France have legalized it. In many cultures, however, it is a taboo and children born out of incest are stigmatized and sometimes murdered.

 As much as we would want to argue that these children were born out of love, it is hard for them to have a normal child hood because even the society cannot allow them. A law in America protects such children and they have the right to inherit wealth from their fathers and they get an equal share as the legitimate children. They are children born out of unfair circumstances but they have a right just like any other child
