lol,, incesst kwa,, haha,, buh is ur cousin really your blood??

My cousin is a child of one of my parent's siblings who happen to share same blood.
This cousin gets to inherit some 50% of his genetic composition from my Aunty or Uncle. Along the line, we end up sharing some genes.

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.

Are their parents, uncles & aunts still alive?

Who gave out the bride to the groom?

Who officiated: a priest, a pastor, a babalawo or " Barr Francis"?

In the modern world, there is a very thin line between good and bad.

So on this topic I believe it isn't right morally, to me they are blood relations.

In the north anyway, it is not rare to see this happen.

IT WILL BE EARTHNOCENTRIC TO CALL IT WRONG, PERIOD. NO ONE CAN SAY IT'S GENERALLY WRONG BECAUSE IT MAYBE WRONG FOR SOME CULTURAL BUT ACCEPTABILE TO OTHERS. DON'T DO IT IF YOUR CULTURE DO NOT ACCEPT IT BUT DON'T COMDEMN OTHERS THAT DO

Your mum's blood runs in your veins... The same blood runs in her siblings children's veins.... Get the drift?
My opinion though
