Are there any laws regarding opposite sex siblings from sharing a room?
I could swear that I read somewhere that brothers and sisters can't share the same room after a certian age...but I can't remember. Or is it that they can't share the same bed?
Answers:
That may have been a local law in an area where you've lived. A lot of old laws are still on the books and just not enforced, but were enacted for a reason a long time ago.
Not that I've ever heard of.
To the best of my knowledge the laws in most states make it a crime for siblings to have sex or touch each other in a certain way. Sharing rooms, or even a bed as odd as that would be, is not a crime in any state as far as I know.
There is no such law, it's just something that seems right. Some people aren't that rich and have to dp that stuff. No law.
No.. but it sounds a bit incestuous if they do it past a certain age.
Check your state laws.
From what i know you cant do that.
No such law in the US.
You both can share the same house, room, bed or even shower (not recomended) if you want.
Now SEX or marriage it's another thing. That's for sure illegal.
But is posible that you read about "weird laws" those are laws that are still on the book (some are over 100 years old)but that are not enforced becuase they are totally ridiculous. So don't even worry about, no one is going to arrest anyone for sharing a room with a sibling.
