Thanks everyone - its quite an eye opener isnt it. I should imagine its not just the - incestuous aspect but may be some time back it was intended as a discouragement for a jealous sibling to remove or arrange the removal of the spouse who was an obstacle to his desire? (for instance the Biblical David sending his lovers wife into battle assured that he would meet death)
