Talmud for Yevamot 11:1

נוֹשְׂאִין עַל הָאֲנוּסָה וְעַל הַמְפֻתָּה. הָאוֹנֵס וְהַמְפַתֶּה עַל הַנְּשׂוּאָה, חַיָּב. נוֹשֵׂא אָדָם אֲנוּסַת אָבִיו וּמְפֻתַּת אָבִיו, אֲנוּסַת בְּנוֹ וּמְפֻתַּת בְּנוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹסֵר בַּאֲנוּסַת אָבִיו וּמְפֻתַּת אָבִיו:

One may marry the kin of a woman that he ravished or seduced. [He is permitted to marry her daughter, her mother, or her sister, it being written (Leviticus 20:14): "And a man, if he takes a woman and her mother" — With all of the others "lying" is written, and here, "taking," to teach that it is by way of "taking" (in marriage) that they are interdicted.] If one ravishes or seduces (the kin of) one to whom he is married, he is liable. One may marry a woman who has been ravished by his father or seduced by his father; ravished by his son or seduced by his son. R. Yehudah forbids a woman ravished by his father or seduced by his father, [it being written (Deuteronomy 23:1): "A man shall not take the wife of his father, and he shall not uncover the lap of his father" — the "lap" that his father has seen, he may not uncover. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah. But the sages forbade one suspected of (illicit relations with) a woman to marry her daughter, or sister, or mother, or one of her kin; for she is wont to be with them, and they might come to sin. And if he transgressed and married one of the kin of a woman he ravished or seduced or one of the kin of a woman he is suspected of, she is not taken from him. As to our Mishnah, "One may marry, etc.", which implies that he may do so ab initio — this is so after the death of the one he ravished or seduced, where it is not to be feared that after marrying the daughter, he will live with the first.]

Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin

MISHNAH: The following are to be burned: one who copulates with a woman and her daughter,1Lev. 20:14. and the daughter of a Cohen who committed adultery2Lev. 21:9.. In the category of a woman and her daughter are included his daughter, his daughter’s daughter, his son’s daughter, his wife’s daughter, her daughter’s daughter, and her son’s daughter3Lev. 18:17 includes relations with a woman and her granddaughter with the prohibition of a woman and her daughter. The Mishnaiot in the Babli and most independent Mishnah mss. include mention of the mother and the grandmother-in-law. This is logically redundant.. The following are to be beheaded: the murderer,4Chapter 7, Note 4. and the inhabitants of a seduced town5Deut. 13:16; Halakhot 7:1,10:7,8..

Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin

“Did you warn him?” From where warning? Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: 18Lev. 20:17. In a slightly different setting, this paragraph also is in Yebamot 11:1, Notes 25–26. Incest with one’s sister is criminal (although by the earthly court only punishable by flogging) while it was permitted to earlier generations. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that everybody knows it to be prohibited. People found engaged in incestuous acts cannot be prosecuted unless before the act informed of its criminality.A man who would take his sister …, it is ḥesed. Rebbi Bun said, Cain married his sister, Abel married his sister. It is charitable, I was charitable with the first generations so the world could be inhabited; I said, the world was to be built on ḥesed19Ps. 89:3..
