Section 376B specifies that a person has committed incest if he has sexual intercourse with another person whose relationship to him is such that he is not permitted under the law, religion, or custom to marry her.
Upon conviction, the teenage boy will face a jail term of 10 to 30 years and may be whipped.
Sister gives birth to brother’s baby
Harian Metro reported that the girl delivered a healthy baby boy on Thursday (16 Feb).
She reportedly gave birth in the bathroom of their family home with the help of her mother.
Whose care the baby is under is presently unclear.
Possible release on bail, suspect awaits conviction
At present, the accused is required to live away from his sister and is not allowed any contact with her.
The court allowed for his release on a RM4,000 (S$1,211) bail with a guarantor, pending “mention” on 22 Mar, noted The Star.
Should he get bail, the boy will have to report to a police station at the start of every month until the case’s resolution.
