Fall in love with your own relative ?

i think thats kinda gross.. i mean even if their relationship DiD work out, they couldn't possible get married cause they're already a family. i just think thats wrong. there's so many people out there in the world, why do you HAVE to choose someone who is already close to you??

In our custom, certain first cousins (father's sister's son or mother's brother's son) are encouraged to marry and romantic links between them are not frowned upon. The main reason for this being that the assests of the family not being divided. Coming to your question, I'm been teased with a first cousin of mine and won't deny an infatuation on both sides when we were teenagers. He is my father's sister's son...and 3 years older than I am. Thinking about it now, I realize that the attraction was because we were thrown together in the same alien situation and we grew up in similar environments...so we were company for each other when this happened.

Well I wouldn’t say love really, but in my childhood and teenage years, I has hopelessly infatuated with a cousin and he too with me. We are almost same age and were often thrown together. Really don’t know how but proximity developed and I was sure that I was in love. We never knew what to do with it though coz marriage amongst cousins is banned in our Hindu society and it was a matter of total shame if ever our parents found out.

we started a family reunion due to this kind of situation where my second cousins fell in love. when the parents found out about the boyfriends residence (where their places are just in the same area) then they found out that they are in blood related. though it's already on it's second blood related still we don't honor it all. in short the their love story ended and a family reunion has started.

i dont know i'm with the groos part. but if your not blood nad it's only bye marrige then i'm not really shur?

I too agree that few fall in love with their relations , There are some reasons behind it 1) They have a chance to speak freely 2) They can find time to be close in all means easily 3) If anything happens wrongly also they are of less risk

i would not as i know there are lot of side-effects,if we would want a progeny.i would always be cautious in falling in love with a relative.

Hi dio I have never been i such a situation. but there's a friend of mine who is in a relationship with a guy who is in their family but he stays far away and they don't have any blood relations. There parents know about their relationship, her mom is fine with it because she never knew if he is in their family realtions, as a stays in some other country and sometimes comes to India. But her dad is not comfortable with this relationship. They face lots of disputes due to this, i know it sounds weird but i think in this case when you barely know if they are in family relations, i think thats fine. Relatives who see each other more often, it will be really weird if thet engage in something like this. Blessings

Actually in certain religions this type of relationship is looked forward to, like giving your daughter to your brothers son or some such thing. It is a bad union for the genes tend to be of the same family and the baby is usually the sufferer of such a union. Better to have other family unions than the same one. Its just not healthy.

Yep I like it I love her She is my cousin there is nothing wrong if you marry with your cousin in Islam Because she is never my sister & its very nice to you have powerful realtion first & after that You marry with someone this will helps you because In World there is very hard to find a nice guys or girls for marry so our family Resolve this for Marry with cousins. have a nice day.

well, i havent ever fallen for a relative. And i dont understand how any one can.. If you are just asking about LIKE, then i guess most of us like our relatives.. in fact i love all my relatives.. But i know that the context with which you asked this question is different and in that context i have never been in.
