Patricia and Misty's relationship was discovered by the Department of Human Services in August during a child welfare investigation inside their home in Duncan, according to KFOR.
KSWO reports that Patricia told investigators her relationship with her son was not sexual and she married him to prevent him being deployed to the military.
However, she told investigators that she 'hit it off' with her daughter when they were reunited two years ago and they married in the hopes of adopting a child.
Under Oklahoma law, marrying a close relative is considered incest whether or not a sexual relationship exists. Those found guilty can face up to ten years in jail.
