We are so in love but the thought of us being related is so annoying and always create that gap between us. I'm asking to know if it is legal or should we just forget about it?

It doesnt matter. You can even marry your sister so long you are in love with her.

Like seriously? Y must it be ur cousin? Can't u find anoda lady who's not ur cousin? So wen u both marry and give birth, ur child will b ur cousin's child eh? If u must knw, ds is how a generational curse starts, cos doin ds may be a taboo ur ancestors laid down in ur family.

This is not the answer to my question bro

let me give u the answer to ur question,,,,,,,,,,,,,absolute nonsense

With how many women that are looking for husband, it is your cousin your eye is glued to. Even if you lie about the blood link and marry her, you may end up having children with medical problems. From this post I assume you guys are already farking. Maybe when you have kids, you can fark them too as you have no concept of boundaries or respect yourself.

Legally, it's not a problem. The only problem is the society. If you both can bear the heat, then go ahead.

According to family law, you can not. There are certain filial relationships that are prohibited. By cousin, do you mean that your parents are siblings?

Op, you and your cousin need serious deliverance...stop that hideous immoral frnd ship , before u start crying tears of regret , yrs down d lane.

what of your father's sisters pick one also....

Π@$S:

@op, i dont think there is a law in our country that forbid it but, the Law of God forbids it, its in the bible, as well as the quoran, that, such act is an abominable one, and i think the law of God should be above any other laws, so, dont do it, there are so many other ladies out there that you can marry, i take God beg you, the repercussion may not be immediate, but definately, something unpalatable will come out of it in the future, which may not be easily bearable to you, redirect that love to the right type of love that is suppose to be btwn both of you and set each other free from the bondage you both are. At first, it may be hard, but, if you sincerely wish, you can both brake the yoke, the first step to take is to move and live far away from each other for a very long time.
May God help you.

You dont like your grandmother too or your own daughters?

Your cousin? In fact, you are sick and need help. Why must it be your cousin? I know that before you came here to state your mind without any remorse, goes to show that you have been sleeping together.
Note, you are under a curse if you sleep with your cousin. If you go ahead and marry her, your generation will be under a curse.

SINCE UR COUSIN IS SO ACCESSIBLE CAN I HAVE A TASTE FOR MY CONTRIBUTIONS ON THIS THREAD...

Nothing legally wrong with it. However, I suspect your marriage will fail except you are living in the North.

@op, it has medical implications.
I'm not being sarcastic or trying to scare you, der're some diseases dt are associated with in-breeding! Most Autosomal Reccesive diseases are and you don't wanna go into how many of those diseases you don't want near your children.

Just so you know!

ok

Maybe I should consider the medical stuff and ask a Doctor. If the union will affect our kids. We'll try and agree with eachoda not to have kids, and just adopt.

You guys wont just understand this love. Mind you Ive never had sex with her. Thnx for your contrbutions.

It may not end well with you if you continue harboring or propagating such thots n views on this forum

Please don't take offence for there is a genuine reason for asking and it is not deragatory. How old are you? How old is she?

no P. I'm almost 25 and she is 23.

I don't think you guys understand the great obstacles in your way in terms of family and societal disdain and contempt for your marriage. Your marriage is likely to fail without family and society's support.

Note: I have not said it is wrong to marry your cousin but it is likely to lead to a life of pain and misery for you within Nigerian Society. Your 'love' looks like infatuation to me.

op and maclatunji are the same I suspect

smartchoice: op and maclatunji are the same I suspect

Very Funny

Hi Op,

You're 25, she's 23?
You don't know what you're talking about, you're so young!. If you insist on going ahead, give yourselves 2-3 more years of dating. Let your families and friends know, and see if you can live with the scorn and disdain. If you don't care what they think and how the pain of your inc.estous acts affect them, go ahead.

For medical and moral reasons, you really should rethink this. I wish you all the best.
