Okay let us leave the religious angle and focus on genetics. Research had shown that,tho cousin marriage may not be harmful at first,continual cousin marriage between the same family will eventually lead to d manifestation of recessive genes responsible for genetic defects.Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia about a long run research of cousin marriage btwn Pakistan-Britons A BBC report discussed Pakistanis in Britain, 55% of whom marry a first cousin.[196] Given the high rate of such marriages, many children come from repeat generations of first-cousin marriages. The report states that these children are 13 times more likely than the general population to produce children with genetic disorders, and one in ten children of first-cousin marriages in Birmingham either dies in infancy or develops a serious disability. The BBC also states that Pakistani-Britons, who account for some 3% of all births in the UK, produce "just under a third" of all British children with genetic illnesses. Published studies show that mean perinatal mortality in the Pakistani community of 15.7 per thousand significantly exceeds that in the indigenous population and all other ethnic groups in Britain. Congenital anomalies account for 41 percent of all British Pakistani infant deaths.[197] The BBC story contained an interview with Myra Ali, whose parents and grandparents were all first cousins. She has a very rare recessive genetic condition, known as Epidermolysis bullosa which will cause her to lead a life of extreme physical suffering, limited human contact and probably an early death from skin cancer. Knowing that cousin marriages increase the probability of recessive genetic conditions, she is understandably against the practice. Finally, in 2010 the Telegraph reported that cousin marriage among the British Pakistani community resulted in 700 children being born every year with genetic disabilities So the fact is that if you marry your cousin there might not be a problem,but when your child also marries his cousin,then your grandchild does the same,expect genetic defects to occur 5 Likes |

PlutoLA:Close relatives? How do you define closeness? Read the whole of Leviticus 18; the chapter defines who are meant by "close relatives," and cousins are not listed. I won't marry my cousin because it is not allowed in my community, but I also know cousin marriage is not prohibited, Biblically speaking. |

One might as well yansh him aunty na if you do not see anything in yanshing your cousin. Your cousins are your aunty or uncle's kids, it is morally reprehensible, culturally debasing, ethically wrong, socially unacceptable, and nairalanderically unwarranted. Don't do it. |

Benard94:Op I dated my cousin for years but it was a secret, we love each other so much, but people were suspecting while we were pretening. my late dad was threatening if it ever happen, but we cover them with shadows till their suspicions fate away like the morning stars. we always had sweet sex, but marriage was the last thought that could never comes into our minds. in the end we both go our separate ways, though she jelous any she see me going out with others ladies. morever our Roman Catholic faith forbid it and nature,forsake such marriage. so I likely advise, incase you have a sweet cousin like mine, you can do as I did but trespass. 1 Like |

Mescopaul:What a highly confused and disjointed analogy! You admitted the Bible doesn't forbid it, why imply again that it is "not good?" Secondly, so discussion on a topic is what determines the goodness or badness of ideas or concepts expressed therein? So, the subjects of all topics on Nairaland are "not good" simply because they have been discussed or being discussed on a thread? I wonder what sort of reasoning is that? Maybe you need a little informing on "why" this discussion: A. While some societies approve of cousin marriages, others frown upon and reject it. B. The Bible nowhere condemns cousin marriage, but some uninformed persons let their hasty assumption guide their utterances instead of the words of the Bible. Or they let the standards of society they come from influence what they say and then misapply it to the Bible. C. People from different backgrounds and with different understanding discussing a topic. These are some of the "whys" of this thread, not whether cousin marriage is good or bad in itself. Discussion on a topic allows people to express their views on such topic. Some views are wrong, some informed, others relative. 1 Like |

[b]Not everything in your bible has a moral value. it seems you people do not even know who a cousin is...or you are trying to turn the bible up side down....a cousin according to oxford dictionary is The son or daughter of a person’s uncle or aunt; a first cousin. Any relation who is not a direct ancestor or descendant; one more distantly related than an uncle, aunt, granduncle, grandaunt, nephew, niece, grandnephew, grandniece, etc...and Those word are believe to be said by God(THE LORD) thru man...so be warned...God bless us All |
