Good day fellow Nairalanders, BuchiTellem is my nickname, I have this issue bothering me for quite a long time now and I need candid opinions to it.

From my maternal side, I have dis male cousin who has been in a whirlwind relationship with a cousin from my father's side. They grew up in the same house; d whole stuff was left unchecked and now rumors has it that they concluded within themselves to tie d knot though they haven't made it official.

I'm in a kind of dilemma here cos d more I look at it, d more I see how wrong it is ( that's my own perspective) so I wanted fellow compatriots who's had similar experiences to share theirs so I wouldn't make d mistake of putting sand-sand in another persons garri.

Thank you

wrong

Their problem.

It is possible and also impossible depends on your tribe.

marriage within Family is a taboo in most tribes

It's allowed not 1st or 2nd cousins...

I doubt if possible in Ibo land. But wetin i know since you said no one is talking.

Kinda wrong

Can 2 brothers/cousins marry from same family from your side of Igbo land? If the answer is yes then they might get married as well.

But hey! why disturbing your head just wait and see every hidden thing shall come to light.

They are not related by blood.

You are their link, but that doesn't make them blood relations

In the northern part of Nigeria, the hausa and fulani people do a lot.

Incest ko,incest ni, its practically normal,the civilized world of today have lebelled all things,these are norms practiced by all tribe centuries ago,his actually a distance cousin,most biblical greats married their cousins.you are the blood link his not

Until you are bold enough to tell us that you are the one in love with your cousin we may not really get the true picture therefore may not give the necessary advice..

Away from that, if you are from this part of the world I advise you drop that unholy insestism and look for love else where ...

Again I am also sure that the both of you have gone into each other this means you are supposed to be concerned about how to get cleansed of the impending curses that are abound ..

It seems you are the only one who read beyond the title guaging from other comment. You are right. Fact is the said cousins are not related and in anyway. They just got to know each other cause OP is related to both.

They are not related so they can marry.

They are not in any way related. You just happen to have a link to both of them.
So, yes, they can get married.
