If and only if you believe incest is chaotic. But say there was a society based on greco-roman egypt which had brother-sister marriages? Would they be chaotic? Would it be chaos if the marriage were between an uncle and a niece (which is not unusual). What about first cousins? Forbidden in Heortling society.
