British royalty married themselves (cousins) to keep the blood line pure. This same guys brought Christianity to us which we are currently practicing zombie-ishly and unquestioningly...so So if our white Masters did it then it's absolutely okay. Right?....

Bar man give him a chilled bottle of Origin.The English Monarchy don't joke with that. I know the Fulanis do that and Islam allows that .

my two cents

Sadam Hussein married his cousin. The famous Rothschild banking dynasty practiced intermarriage among cousins to keep outsiders out.

But in Africa, it is taboo.

It's obvious that Op is in the state mind of accepting such forbidden norms base on his responds to some people opinions here.

I'm from Edo State & we forbid it & Op origin share closed culturally norms with ours.

Bible or no Bible such act is forbidden please

The birth of twins was forbidden by our culture, should we obey that too? Cultures change but the Bible does not.

Yes is forbidden

praxs:


Shut up! Which Hausa Christians. Fucking liar

I've attended and witness cousins weddings in plateau, Kaduna, kano and katsina. Heard it is happening bauchi, borno. I'm sorry if you're hurt, but if you're a Hausa tribe, you can go ask your family or pastor

Sir...
Please leave Christian out of the picture. Before the white man bought Christian to africa , we already have norms that govern us here. My native origin forbidden it & I will never engaged in it. God forbid.
Thanks

Mahmoudkk04:
Aren't you a Christian? Is the bible not your guiding scripture any more? The last time I checked, there is no scripture or religion in this planet earth that forbids cousins marriage. Not even people that do not believe in God forbids it. America, France, Spain, Israel and all those developed countries practice cousins marriage going by their history. Therefore, don't deceive yourself unless you want to promote your personal opinion or culture over your religion's view. Common sense should tell you how the world started talking about Adam and Eve, how they multiplied and the world now became what it is today.

This is to all you hypocrites saying "no, God forbid, I cannot have sex with my sister" bla bla bla. Well, sorry to bust your bubble, but all the other girls that you have been having sex with are your sisters. God only created one man and one woman, and we all descended from them (Have you ever thought about that). So it invariably means that we are all blood brothers and sisters if you want to tell yourselves the truth. (I stand to be corrected, with any otherwise stories).

Yes it forbidden, because tradition is tradition

alBHAGDADI:


Leviticus 18:6
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their unclothedness: I am the LORD.


But some fools who say the old testament laws have been done away with now want us to disobey God by committing this abomination.

Are they saying Jesus died so we can now start sleeping with our sisters, cousins, brothers, parents etc? They kick against old testament laws because it contains the law on tithing.

They only quote OT when it suits them

The main topic now is one marrying a cousin not twins related topic.
Thanks

Op is referring to Christian perspective not traditional or culture

That will a top matter for the world in the second coming of Jesus Christ. For now, look beyond your cousin and marry to millions of other beautiful ladues on the street.

No! In the northern Nigeria here, the Hausa Christians do practice it, but my culture Urhobo, forbids it. But a pastor once told me the Bible doesn't forbid it. How true is this? Pls more contributions needed

Eyaaah, sorry about ur ignorance. The girls that you have been sleeping with; who do you think they are? Unless you want to tell me that God created 2 families in the beginning, then we all will continue to sleep with our brothers and sisters till thy kingdom come.

ednut1:
so who did cain and abel nack to procreate

That God sanction it then because the earth was fewer in numbers doesn't mean he approve it

Why do you think Northerners are susceptible to diseases and why do you think they are mentally unstable and act like cows?

This is solely due to inbreeding in the form of marrying first cousins.

Please bible or no bible, it is not advisable. I think the Catholic Church allows only 4th degree cousins to marry

Cousin marriage is neither forbidden in christian nor in #islam... But i think its forbidden in most of d tribe here in NIGERIA except HAUSA.... There are so many unsolved raffle on earth...
ONLY GOD IS THE ALL-KNOWING..

You don't have the ability to think logically

There’s a 70% chance of you having retards as children, so why would you want to engage in such act.

Shedrack777, the Bible doesn't forbid cousin marriage but in some cultures it's forbidden while in others it's acceptable as a normal thing. Some countries have also
made laws criminalising it. Nowadays, it's not advisable to marry close relatives because it leads to inbreeding and exposes the offspring and descendants of such union to genetic and hereditary diseases. Most times, when you hear that something like anaemia or high blood pressure is hereditary in a family, it's usually because of inbreeding and their genetic makeup has not been diluted enough from marrying from other families in order for that disease to fade out.

Shedrack777:
The Bible didn't forbid you marrying your aunt's/uncle children (your cousins) from that passage. It only forbids you marrying your aunt/uncle. Your contribution was appreciated, but not well proved/guaranteed.

materoal cousins can be considered for marriage . But paternal cousins are no go area .

Pls don't bring topic like this here. Leave Christianity out of this ok beside ask yourself does it make sense you getting marry to your own cousin pls ask yourself?

What kind of post or thread is this?. That is rubbish ok. Better not to marry than to be sleeping with your cousin. What nonsense is that pls leave bible out of it it's a total madness.

It's Incest up to Second Cousins.

Thanks for your understanding. Some seems not to understand. I know a lot of culture forbids , but does the Bible forbids it?

I guess you're the one that has ignorance not me because your trying so hard to force your belief into my own belief understanding. The Union is forbidden in my side , so take it or leave. Period

You that have the ability to think logical, what input has it yield so far in your life & the topic per say?.
Rubbish

What is all this noises about marrying cousins for ,are ladies of marriageable age in short supplies ?

I guess you didn't read the post with basic understanding because the native or culture Op mentioned in the post is related to traditions. So my own views is base from that angle.
Thanks

mrhipup:
Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;-
Quran 4:23

The title is paraphrase as Christian perspective to cousin marriage. The poster agrees that many tribes frown at such marriage but he is more concern about Christian view on cousin marriage.

Christianity just tire me I swear, you never see a Muslim arguing about what is written in the Quran but Christians will always do.

Well I don't blame them, the bible sometimes contradict itself.
