Is It Legal To Marry A Second Cousin? by VictorUSA1: 8:02am On May 26, 2022 |
My half brother is contemplating whether to marry our second cousin or not. They first met in a workshop where they got attracted to each other without the knowledge that they were relatives.The family elders learnt of the relationship and pushing back while others said second cousins can get married.The two of them are death in love with each other but contemplating if the marriage could materialize. Is it legal for second cousins to marry? |

The answer is hard oo. It was very right in old testament but very wrong and a sin in new testament. Legally, it is wrong according to Nigerian constitution. Health wise, it is wrong because you will be recycling the same genes within the family, when there are diseases peculiar to a family, the probability of retaining them inside the family is very high where there is inbreeding. 1 Like |

You used your hands to type that they are relatives. Do you need to ask this question again? |

Second cousin, meaning you share the same great-grandparents. Since he is your half-brother, meaning you share a parent together (either your dad or your mum and different mum or dad). Is this second cousin from the side of your shared parent? |

It's an abomination as far as I'm concerned.. anything cousin, step or half is a no go area with a yellow line within my family circle... But who are we to dictate what is morally wrong or right.. let your brother follow his heart... we all got principles that are different.. |

oz4real83: Show us in which section of Nigerian constitution and the chapter in the new testament where this is..? OP! no mind this guy o, him no know wetin e dey yan... your first cousin self is legally allowed according to the Nigerian constitution not to talk of your second cousin.. Legally, Morally & Religiously OK.. There is no single place in the entire Bible where it is categorically forbidden.. what you have is law by the church forbidden it. |

VictorUSA1: Of course they will not get any consequence, other than medical conditions for their generations to come. Just imagine the gross selfishness and callousness. |
