I didn't know and that is what I told her, now I am also wondering myself. They aren't blood related but then again I gather I really can not tell her how to ruin her life unless this man is better for her.I suppose that will be her problem when that time comes.I am just doing the asking.

 Not incest... and about that "adultry" thingy, it's just another one of those words like "fornication" that was made up by a Pope and added to the Bible sometine during the Dark Ages around the fifth century.

It's really only considered incest in relgious terms, like 'adultery'. And adultery to me isn't that bad. If it is comitted out of love, that's fine, but if it is done out of spite, hate, or using other people, then I am totally against it.

if you believe in god it is considered incest leviticus 18,6.
when you marry you become one, so the place of your brother in law is brother. your place is sister. its the thought of becoming a family and to me and god it is still considered incest.

 The only thing your friend is doing here is Adultery and betrayal of the people that love and care about her and this guy although this is wrong this situation is not incest as incest is when you have intimate relations with a blood relative.

 Incest is when you have sexual relations with blood relatives, this is not incest, its simply adultery. xXx

A
reader, anonymous, writes (21 September 2006): I don't think sleeping with your husbands brother is incest. Incest is when the family member is more closely connected, e.g. a brother with a sister. It's when the connection is blood-related and more importantly, illegal that is is considered incest.
It is hardly unheard of for partners to cheat on, or get together with a sibling of their original partner. In cases, such as this, it is wrong because they are being unfaithful to their partner and breaking the vows of their marriage, but in more innocent circumstances, where people are just dating it can sometimes work out for the best; e.g. their partners sibling is better suited for them than their original partner.
I don't think the problem here is whether or not incest as occured, it's more about commiting adultery against someone you're supposed to love and be faithful and dedicated to.
Your "friend" has some big decisions to make, namely to work out her priorities and either try and save her marriage, or end it and follow her heart with this other man.
