einsteino:
actually in logic, you being indiferrent in such a scenario means you allow it. there is no sitting on the fence in this kind of aarguement.
how you come about einstein as your moniker is baffling to me :

INDIFFERENCE is english which implies ''I don't care'' whether you marry your cousin or you don't marry your cousin !

How you interpreted my ''indifference'' to implied I allow cousin marrying makes me to call the einstein behind your moniker to question !!

If you ask me whether I would do it : I will tell you NO but I won't condemn others who do it thus i'm INDIFFERENCE to it .... It is neither right nor wrong to me : it is what it is :

cousin marrying cousin !

Can Ɣou date a monkey Simply because it looks like a human being

The same reason Ɣou can't date a monkey applies to Ɣou dating your cousin

The Bible does not forbid marrying your cousin so let's make sure in our zeal to help others that we don't confuse what our culture teaches with what the Bible teaches.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Leviticus 18 lists the forbidden relationships and cousins are not forbidden nor is cousin marriage forbidden anywhere else in the Bible.

God may have chosen your cousin for you and if He chose him it would be a sin to walk away from this. There is no evidence that there is a significant increase in birth defects when cousins marry. The preferred marriage among the Israelites was cousin to cousin marriage and Jews to this day have an average I.Q. of over 120 with the highest population of Geniuses in the world. Ever hear of Einstein?

Both Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin married their first cousins. If such scientists as these had no fear of "defects" in their children then you should not. Their children were all healthy and bright. However, if you're really stupid and your cousin is really stupid then there is a much higher chance that your children will be really stupid. Is there room for a little humor here?

The fact is that cousin marriage was banned by the Roman Catholic church under 'Pope Gregory I' in an attempt to prevent the accumulation of wealth and power within families. The popes saw wealth among the common man as competition for their own power. This power structure exists in the Philippines to this day and is hampering economic development. The ban had nothing to do with our Bibles which we read regularly, don't we?

Civil disobedience has a long history within the Christian community. You've all heard of people power. When the people gathered by the thousands outside of Malacanang to oust Marcos that was against the law. Was it a sin? No. If you must go to another province or state to marry your cousin so that nobody will report you then that is what you must do. Will that be against the law? Maybe. Is it a sin? No. This is not unheard of in the Philippines, The United States, and many other countries where Born Again Christians live in sufficient numbers to make such laws of no effect. I know of such a couple in the Philippines and they live happily to this day. They're now in their 60s with 5 children and many grandchildren. They're born again of course because it is the pope who forbids cousin marriage, not the Bible.

Enjoy for your reading pleasure grin[color=#000099][/color]
must be feeling like a genius.. mcheww. please do not misinterprete my Biblefor me. It isan abomination, read the bible and pray to God to give you wisdom while reading that particular Chapter. Secondly, go read about the disease that afflicts some of the europeans, today..cant remember what its called, but the fact that Eistein did it doesnt it make the practice right.

There is this raging arguement in my area as to if one could date/marry his/her cousin. Some stood frankly against it while others saw no crack in it. Apart, what is the measure of closeness where one could restrict dating? Is cousin-dating ethical?

I think this Ur arguement was actually done in a bar under d influence of some bottles. Because no sane being will even engage in this kinda discussion.

Haba! Your cousin is your family naa. If u both marry.....meaning one brother will pay dowry to his own brother, how can? In African culture your uncle is your second father, so how can u then marry his son....that means u married your own brother.
Abeg it's not only unethical, it's incestuous and barbaric! Find your spouse outside your family....many fishes in d ocean baa!

if you really want to understand this question (and all questions that have the word 'dating'), just replace the word 'dating' with phucking and then think of the question again.

Phucking your cousin. Is it ethical?
Cant deal
