The short answer to this is no. As someone else said, nothing is ever conclusively proven in science, and even thinking scientifically I would say the Oedipus Complex is considered more of a hypothesis than a theory (a theory must be widely accepted to be regarded as such in scientific terms). It provides an interesting framework to think about some issues, which is why it's still taught today, but you won't find too many reputable psychologists who'll really get behind it.

No, Freud was a fruitcake in some respects. This is one of them. He was certainly (or as certain as we can be) grossly off the mark with many of his points. Few sane other psychologists ever agreed with the Oedipus theory.
