Mitzvah #177 - Mother and daughter

One may not marry and woman and her daughter.

One who marries a woman and then has relationships her mother or daughter gets burned to death by Beth Din.

If his wife died and then then has relationships her mother or daughter he gets Karet.

By Rabbinic decree it's forbidden to have relations with a mother and daughter even if neither are married to him.

Applies to everybody, everywhere, always

Verse: "The nakedness of a woman and her daughter you shall not uncover" (Vayikra 18:17)
