um...not so much lol. Unless they are like 5th cousins or something no....Do you really want an intertwined family tree? That is craziness to me and a little too gross to think about. Did you know that this often happened when the royal families were in power because they believed that they should keep the bloodline pure.

No they shouldnt get married, That would be insest, and it is wrong. They have too many similar family genes, and if they were to have children, wow, their children could come out pretty messed up. Of all the people in the world, Why WOULD you want to marry your cousin ?
Pick another one of the billions of people in the world :)

I do not think that they should marry one another because of the problems that it can cause in their children and because the i was always told that the Bible says not too. I don't get into religion much on the web so I will keep this short and simple. This is only my opinion.
The reason that it can cause problems with the children is because of the x and y chromosome and this can cause mental retardation as well as deformities. This does not mean that it will always happen but is a lot more likely to happen with first cousins.

No they should not get married. First and foremost, if they have children, chances are the child will be born with birth defects. It happens in animals all the time with animals.
There have been studies directly linking Downs Syndrom to cousin marriages/ sibling marriages.
It's just not a good idea.

In our religion they are brother and sister so they are not allowed to get married.
But it in some religion it is allowed.
