Nope, marrying someone you're merely "related" to is not "incest".
"Incest" is between brother and sister, and close family relations.
Not sure how you don't know that.
It makes me suspicious that you're not being honest.
No, Jesus said not to make any vow at all.
Marriage is not to include a vow, that's just cultural.
If not, show me the NT Scripture.
Under Torah, the Jews were permitted "any cause" divorce.
If the husband found something in her that he didn't like he could divorce her.
Jesus says "not anymore".
No, Jesus is "the prophet like Moses", and, accordingly, He is called a "Lawgiver".
Jesus is a Lawgiver--He is at the level to make Law.
He doesn't overturn Torah, but fulfills.
The Torah says, "Respect God, pay your vows--don't make frivolous vows."
Jesus says, "Respect God, do not make vows--it is an affront to the Majesty on High. Who do you think you are to make a promise that 'I will do this or that'? Just say 'yes' or 'no'. Anything beyond that is of the evil one--vows are of the evil one."
It's the same intent as Torah, but it is brought to a higher level.
Therefore, Christ is, in one way, overturning Torah, but, in another way, upholding Torah.

I will agree that Yeshua is the Law Giver, even though I don't think that is ever given in Scripture. At lest that I could find. I looked in 17 versions just be sure.
However if one looks we do find that Yahovah DID give the Laws, to Moses, not many will try to say that isn't true. Then if we look, John Chapter one makes it clear that Yeshua, and Yahovah are one in the same. I won't post the full chapter, however I will give the witness that is needed.
Jhn 1:1¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jhn 1:10¶He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Jhn 1:14¶And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
From this it is safe to say that IF the Word is true in everything it say's then Yeshua and Yahovah are one in the same. Now to live out the Torah one must keep every aspect of it, and one aspect is to not add to or take away from. Deut. 4:2.
Now to change or amend is doing just that in some way. placing a sin upon the one we place our trusting faithfulness in for salvation. Thus making said means of salvation into question, as well as making it almost pointless to hope.
If you will slow down and truely study the Torah, and not just place out there what you hope will change my mind, then maybe what I think I know, can be shown wrong. Trust me it is not an impossible task, hard yes.
If we are to truly know that Yeshua is the sacrifice that washes away our sin, we must also believe He lived out the Torah in perfection.
Can Yahovah change His own laws? He can, only that would also place Him in violation of one of His own commandments. So again let me point this out.
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
