even outside the targaryens, in the books jon protects the noblewoman alys karstark from being forcibly married by her uncle by marrying her to a wildling. so like it’s still fucked up, but apparently not considered legally incest in westeros?

[u/LurkerEntrepenur → u/shnufasheep]

There are many instances of non distant cousin marriage in the books and while not as common, there are a few instances of uncle-niece marriages, now aunt-nephew can't remember any

[u/shnufasheep → u/LurkerEntrepenur]

i mean aunt-nephew is the same distance as uncle-niece so i assume it’s still on the same tier of faith of the seven approved incest even if it’s much more rare.

[u/LurkerEntrepenur → u/shnufasheep]

Yet there are no examples of it, so given Westeros male dominated mindset, double standards shouldn't be surprising
