Noting the 15th Imperial Decree, Senate Declares that Incest on the Part of a man is a capital crime. A woman who commits incest, is taken into life slavery. A child born of incest must be examined by the Temple of Claire to determine that their body is healthy and pure, before they are made wards of state. Those not pure are left to Claire's mercy.

Senate further Declares that if a man shares even a single parent with a woman then she is his sister. If a man shares no blood relation with a woman, even though she may be born of the wife or mistress of his father, then she is not his sister.

Senate further Declares that in all cases the True blood relationships are the only valid relationships when determining the question of Incest. In cases where children are born through adultery which is not brought to charge, or through the use of slaves, the blood relationship overrules any previously declared relationships. If a previously unknown adultery is discovered, that Crime cannot be brought to charge once the child has reached majority.
