What kind of question is this? why would you even think of marrying your cousin? so of all the girls in the world, is only your cousin you found attractive enough to marry? if you try such thing, then you should prepare for a terrible course co's that's an abomination. 1 Like |

1. the Bible forbids it, which is not surprising because 2.Sex between close family members could create severe genetic mutations. (If they weren't closely linked, one good gene could 'dominate' a bad one). Mutations could manifest in the baby as a severe abnormality. There are equal chances of this occuring in relation to a 'normal' baby being formed. 2 Likes |

In our culture, it is traditional beliefs to get married to your cousins, way back the ancestors used to do that to keep the cattle in the family. and they also believed that if you marry family, lets say your father's sister's child, that person will take good care of you, cos he's related to you. Not that i'm saying its the right way to go, but it's culture. Here in Namibia, some people still do it, but only the Otjiherero Tribe. You can get married to your cousin, but only if its your fathers sister's child, or your mothers brothers child, its culture, and strong traditional belief. we have different diversity of culture. In Namibia we have different tribes, cultures and believes, that's why things are done the way they are being done 3 Likes |

It is no sin to marry your cousin as far as the bible is concerned. Eleazar's daughters each married first cousins, as they were instructed( I Chronicles 23:22). See below Forbidden Marriages Scripture Between parents and children -Leviticus 18:7-8 Between stepparents and stepchildren-Leviticus 18:8, 17 With your paternal or maternal aunt-Leviticus 18:12-13 With your uncle or aunt -Leviticus 18:14 Between brother and sister and half-brother and half-sister-Leviticus 18:9 Between stepbrothers and stepsisters-Leviticus 18:11 With your daughter-in-law -Leviticus 18:15 With your sister-in-law -Leviticus 18:16 With your granddaughter -Leviticus 18:10 With your step-granddaughter -Leviticus 18:17 However, it's important to remember that many laws do condemn this type of marriage and Christians are commanded to "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men" (1 Peter 2:13-15, See also Romans 13:1-2). Again, medically, it is not advisable. But the answer to your question is no, marrying your cousin is no SIN |

That's an absurd question. Y would you marry your cousin? Only thing i can say is that the guy should go ahead and marry her and tell us wat happened after, then we can talk about it Let me put another twist to the poster's question, If you had a cousin who's mum is ur mum's step-sister. What does that make her? A step-cousin? If so, can you marry her if you're in love with her? |

Re: Can You Get Married To Your Cousin? by kay9(m): 1:33pm On Jul 15, 2009 |
It aint advisable to marry your cousin - especially if you are are first-cousins. Almost all Nigerian cultures forbid it, plus you have a good chance of giving birth to an abnormal kid - batty in the belfry - eight pence to the shilling - call it what you will. Dr. Lorenz:Yep, that'd make her your "step-cousin". And if the cousin's grand-mum was your mum's mum's step-sister, then she'd be your "step-second-cousin". . . . or maybe it's "second-step-cousin". Teeheehee. |

Is it how your mind operate? Hmmm! Your thought process is extremely devilish - too deviant for our culture and most cultures of this world. Who knows what else you'd come up with next time? Whatever led you to ask this question, are you sure you are not meddling with your cousin and come up here to find out whether we would approve? Naaaaa!!!!!!! Don't bring it here, please!!! We are no Indians or Pakistanis, ok! We are Africans with morals and we can tell good from bad, ok! |
