Incest> I think the most useful reason to make incest not allowed is that there is an enormous potential for abuse. I'm not against consensual incest, but I do think that it can be tricky to decide whether consent exists.
The rules about what sort of Jew certain sorts of Jew might marry - I don't really understand them, but if someone in one of those categories were to say "stuff this, I'm going to marry this Hindu that I am in love with" would they be chucked out of "being Jewish" or would they just have some sort of rank taken away from them? Is there really some argument that in order to properly shepherd your Jewish 'congregation' you need to be married to someone else who is going to help with that (and what's up with converts not being Jewish enough?).
