(a) A person is guilty of incest when he marries a person whom he knows to be related to him within any of the degrees of kindred specified in section 46b-21.

(1969, P.A. 828, S. 193; P.A. 80-346, S. 2; P.A. 92-260, S. 74.)
History: P.A. 80-346 substituted “such person” for “he” or “him”, eliminating unnecessary distinctions based on sex and removed reference to engaging in sexual intercourse with relative as incest; P.A. 92-260 made technical changes in Subsec. (a) by replacing “such person” with “he” or “him” as appropriate.
