Is Dating Ur Second Cousin Considered An Incest? by Warl0ck(op): 1:16pm On Mar 23, 2023
My best friend is really confused.

There happens to be a girl he loves.
He tend to find out that the girl is his second cousin (the same great grandfather).

So now, he is planning to marry the lady but is confused if it could be an incest.
Although he havent made the lady know of his intension yet.
Pls is it legal for them to marry ? Or an incest?




He reached to me for advise but dont know what to tell him.
So i decided to bring it here.
I will show him the opinions from here, at dawn when i reach his domot.




Pls ur opinions, advice, suggestions needed.

Hmmmmm

As long as it's not too close (at least, up to 4 generations apart) , it's allowed and not an incest

They are related by blood and as such an INCEST

call it what you want...INCEST, INBREEDING etc... it is wrong. let them go find someone else to marry, love isnt by force!

Abeg there is nothing like second cousins to me anything after first cousins is no longer considered as family hence I can do anything with them.

Actually, it isn't incest.

Cousins are not direct family members and the gene pool has been diluted enough.

Marrying cousins is not a sin in both Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Islam), it is not legally wrong and it is not biological wrong either hence there is nothing preventing it.

It is just weird. Thats all

as much as it is indeed very weird, i think that there is a bigger INBREEDING/INCESTUOUS part to play here, as they are both GENETICALLY RELATED (even if it is only about 5%)

Once you consider them as family in the first place, just let it go.
We've got over 7 billion in the world bruh.

There is about a 3-6% chance of birth defects which some people are willing to take.

The blood of his uncle/aunty is also his relative. It is incest.

although the percentage is exactly the same (if they were not related) the whole issue is about that person being part of your family. this is probably someone you meet at every family gathering etc, and it doesnt sit right IMHO. their fathers are direct cousins.

if DNA analysis should be conducted in many small villages/communities, it will turn out that all of them are descendants of a single ancestor

Tell your friend that marrying the lady will predispose his kids to certain diseases

Of all the millions of people unrelated to you, it's your bloodline that you see to date.

You guys are mad as in literally. Fcuck.
Re: Is Dating Ur Second Cousin Considered An Incest? by Exmilitant(m): 6:29pm On Mar 23, 2023
Family is family bro..

But it is hard seeing a wife material in one of your many sisters from your greatgrand mother's side and not able to wife her.
Re: Is Dating Ur Second Cousin Considered An Incest? by Holybaddo: 6:31pm On Mar 23, 2023
😂😂😂😂😂
They can't get married if they are Igbos,
Other tribe no problem
But If they are both Hausa it might bring small talk

The thing is how confident the guy is
If they both strongly agree to marry who can stop them
All everyone can do is to talk
But if they are Igbos omooh na Abomination ohh

You’re already justifying incest. Since you know it’s good, no need bringing it on here for cheap validation

The term "cousin" already signified both of you as family. So brother, many fishes dey river
Re: Is Dating Ur Second Cousin Considered An Incest? by Peskid147: 9:24pm On Mar 23, 2023
