Dyo have the guts to marry your cousin?

Marriages are goverened, performed and solemenised according to the customs and laws of the land. There are certain communities having no bar in marrying any one in the family .It is said that primitive humans married within their family. Based on scientific facts the human races understood the dangers and "SCIENTIFIC illegitimacy" of marrying ones real blood sister or brother Certain religious communities and groups do permit marriage between "cousins". we know that though marriage is an individual's choice yet it is a social phenomena for progeny and other matters.In India particularly among Hnidus the most distant relations are even shunned. Some fifty years back in some countries one could marry real blood sisters it was only due to change in political system that this bad practice was banned by law So marrying a cousin has to be viewed from all angles .Religion ,custom ,social ,scientific facts ,and the laws of the land For fear of the society no crusader would care to Adhre to the decaying norms laid by it ,there fore the question of marying ones cousin has to be viewed in all its entirety The question of embarrasment comes only when it is not accepted by the society OR SELF .Also scientific facts are not in favour of marrying ones blood relations even cousins. From all angles to me it appears that marrying a "cousin" would not be an appropriate step embarassment or no embarassment Marriage is for progeny such type of relationship offspring can only mean disaster and invitation to all sorts of uncurables vpsmalhotra

I guess my best advice is not to marry the cousins. just live together at least it will not cause too much complications. Personally, I dont have any problems with kissing cousins, I know a couple that is blood related and their relationship is going strong. :) this is the perfect example of the adage "me and you against the world" :)

I know people who have married their cousins. I don't think I'd do it, but then again, you do not chose love, love choses you, but then I still pro bably wouldn't do it. Then again, what the heck am I talking about? It's a moot point since I'm already with the guy I love, and we're not related. LOL

Honestly, I would have no problem with it. Just ignore those people who are being critics. If you love someone, they *should*, if they care about you or your cousin, be able to put the fact that you're distantly related into the background. You have to be able to understand where they're coming from, but never stop getting with who you love just because other people say it's bad. It's not their choice - it's yours.
