Children who grow up together do not normally develop sexual attraction, even if they are unrelated, and conversely, siblings who were separated at a young age may develop sexual attraction. Innate sexual aversion between siblings forms due to close association in childhood, in what is known as the Westermarck effect. Sibling marriage was historically practiced in ancient Egypt and Inca tribes. Exceptions include Brazil and Sweden in both countries, marriages between half-siblings are legally permitted. Still, sibling marriage is legally prohibited in most countries worldwide. While cousin marriage is legal in most countries, and avunculate marriage is legal in several, sexual relations between siblings are considered incestuous almost universally, regardless of legality. A similar incestuous arrangement which is non-monogamous can be referred as sister-swapping or brother-swapping, although this should not be confused with berdel, which describes the situation in which families exchange brides or bridegrooms. In a heterosexual context, a female partner in such a relationship may be referred as a sister-wife. There are many terms used to describe a romantic bond between siblings, including formal nomenclature such as adelphogamy, specific hyponyms such twincest, or slang terms like sibcest.
