Is having a relationship with step brother/sister not allowed? Is it a SIN?

Well I don't think it is a sin, they are not blood relatives, so I feel the strong feeling of love if it is true love nothing really matters, except for genetic reasons between immediate family love is the only thing to think about and not man made rules, anyway thats the way I look at it, he get one chance at live as we know it we just have the right to love and be happy.

You asked if it was a sin? No-one's done anything wrong anyway, they're not related, they would both have 2 different biological parents so their genes would be completely different. I don't think it would actually happen in real life, if you grow up with someone as a brother or sister, you wouldn't feel any different towards them than biological siblings do so the chances of actually being romantically attracted to them is very unlikely. I think you're watching a very fake soap opera & they have very far out & ridiculous story lines :)

Well that's a hard one. I really don't know what to say but imagine if it really did happen in real life. I bet its happened somewhere out there already. I think society will accept it but it would still be weird to think about it facing the fact that the mother anf father are together.

I do not think I personally could do it, however it is anot a law against it and there is nothing tying them together bloodwise. If they have kids there will be no risk with the genes - atleast not more than usual. Like i said - it would be strange for me, but I see nothing that couls actually stop them if they wanted to

well in that soap the family is basing things in their religion and what the society will think of it. But love knows no laws and boundaries how do u stop that?

If they are not blood siblings as it is suggesting from your notes, I think it then shouldn't be a problem for them to marry since there won't be any inbreeding. However, and as many others have pointed out, just to keep the harmony of the family intact, and for their parents, they should think hard about whether they want to continue with their chosen road and get married. My two cents.

I don't think it's something bad on itself since there are no blood ties there....obviously if the two persons grew up together since they were like 3 or 4 years old it'd be a bit weird, because in practice they're as brothers, whereas if they become step siblings at 12 or so, when personality n such is already formed , it would be a bit different. Anyway to each their own.

It shouldn't be done. A good family live is important. How many people we see that have a messed up family life ends up being messed up themselves. Family is also important for the whole country. If all families are chaotic with no boundaries. What kind of world would it be? They'll be no boundaries in anything either. I see that you are looking at the point of view that theses two persons are not related by blood so its biologically acceptable. However I ask you to look at the parent's point of view. Try to imagine you are a parent. You married a person who has a child from a pervious marriage. You will be accepting that child like your own when you marry your spouse. They grow up and you soon forget the fact that the child ever had another dad. Then one day your real child and your step child comes to you and say they want to get married. How horrified would you be thinking "my son and daughter are getting married?" It is in this view that I do not accept that a step brother and sister should get romantically involved.

well, let me say their regional beleive (Cultural)will make it either right or wrong. I will hereby bring it down to african culture, where they can not forbid them being friends socialy, but highly restricted to become one. (Husband and Wife). that is african culture for you. besides there are other cultural backgroung which accept this as a free zone for them to operate. So only what could make such right is, their beleive

erm..it actually depends which point of view you're taking.. if you're talking by religion.. then it's definitely not acceptable..as we believe when a couple is married.. they're tied together.. and they become a family.. right? .. so.. family members of course can't get married to one another..but if if you're talking by common sense.. i believe you're right.. they don't have any blood relationship even if their parents are married. .and they have the right to be together.. it's just how people see it.. there's no point asking others opinion.. because there are certain things we human can't accept in our society.. and that's why =)

I think it'll depend on at what age they got to know each other, if they were like 10+ already it wouldn't be all that weird I'd say, but if they grew up completely together from the time they were babies it'd be a bit more weird. It'd be like marrying your adopted sister/brother for that matter, no family by blood either but still sort of siblings.

I say that although they are not blood siblings, I still think that society will say that it's not right. I guess we view things in weird ways. Because they grow up and act as real brother and sisters we treat them how we would a blood related brother or sister. SO.. No i don't think that it's right.

Hi there, I think its wrong,dont know about it being a sin thats just a saying that people use, its not right... step or not step, but these days people do what the hell they like so it dont really matter.
