please, there is an argument on this topic, and i really need ur candid opinion...


I went for a wedding where the bride is the maternal cousin to the groom...


I didnt see anything wrong with it, cos me personally, i dont see my cousins as my blood, just my relatives...(i may be wrong, buh its my view anyways..)..


buh most people were really against it,, saying marrying your cousin is an abomination and all that crap,,


So, my people, i bring this to you guys, maybe i can get a clear explanation here... What are your views on this??


Is marrying your cousin wrong??


Cheers.

Leviticus Chapter 18



1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.

3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.

5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.

6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their unclothedness: I am the LORD.

7 The unclothedness of thy father, or the unclothedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her unclothedness.

8 The unclothedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's unclothedness.

9 The unclothedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their unclothedness thou shalt not uncover.

10 The unclothedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their unclothedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own unclothedness.

11 The unclothedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her unclothedness.

12 Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.

13 Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.

14 Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.

15 Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her unclothedness.

16 Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's unclothedness.

17 Thou shalt not uncover the unclothedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her unclothedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her unclothedness, beside the other in her life time.

19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her unclothedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.

21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled

28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

Im asking you imstead

bluecircle470:
Dnt really know if it is an abomination o. All i knw is dat if its a distance cousin i dnt see anything bad in it.

u do know a distant cousin is the child of your cousin right? So if its okay for u to get married to them,(i dont even know if that is possible.) is it also okay to marry your cousin then?

Cutehector:
its foolish to do dat... Even though I see nothn wrong wit it..

so y is it foolish, if u see nothing wrong with it??

bi0nics:


Im asking you imstead

Cutehector:
cuz of wat the society will say. And d fact that there r more dan a billion females in d world to marry

and, she being one of the billion females too?? I get your point though really,, but not all people live by what the society say, u know..

zinachidi:
yes bro, my point exaxctly, i dont see any consequence,, do u?

No.

Well, where I come from, it is not acceptable but I don't know if there's really anything wrong with that. I hve seen cousins marry and they are fine.

E get as e be. Even though some people do it.

Well from my legal knowlegd of statutory position d marriage will be void n by customary it is wrong to marry from dsame consanguinity

Where I come from. It is NOT wrong nor frowned upon to marry your second cousin (ie you and I are first 's cousins, our kids can get married).

However it is a common practice in Islam and Judaism (jews) that they encourage and marry 1st cousins. The north marry 1st cousins all the time. If you live in the core north you ll agree

zinachidi:
u do know a distant cousin is the child of your cousin right? So if its okay for u to get married to them,(i dont even know if that is possible.) is it also okay to marry your cousin then?

the child of your cousin is not ur distant cousin.

Dang!!!!
No more fine and responsibile guys around?
Why do I wanna be banging my cousin?
my cousin is like my brother.

shout out to people whom their destiny is written in pages of the bible.

The bible also said "stone you children" Dueteronomy 21:18-21

Have you obeyed your bible?

Absolutely wrong!

But northerners always do it.
