Are cousins not allowed to really get married?

Well Queen Elizabeth and her husband are cousins... I think it's better to avoid.

don't force it if you don't really feel it.

First of all, it isn't true to say that the children from a union of first cousins WILL have abnormalities. There is a slightly increased possibility that some of the children might but the likelihood is thought by some to be no greater than the chance that any woman over 35 and married to someone unrelated to her is likely to bear children with disabilities. Some countries allow first cousins to marry while others do not. England, for example, has no law forbidding the marriage of first cousins and there are many examples of first cousin marriages which have produced perfectly normal children. Both Queen Victoria and Charles Darwin, for example, married their first cousins.

It actually depends on how far the affinity of your blood relations are wit them. By law there are limitations, I am just not sure how it is. Biologically speaking there is truth about marrying within family members. Genetics has somehow designed us to be match with those that are not related to us so we would be as diverse as we could be. If we are to be matched with those that are genetically related then there are higher possibilities that abnormalities may show in their offsprings because of the defective genes will be strengthened further.

I have heard of people marrying their own cousin. In some places in the United States, they are called "Kissing cousins." I am an American but my background is Puerto Rican. In that culture, it was common for cousins to intermarry.

I don't know if it is true too but many say that the children born by cousins will have abnormalities.

There are chances of kids of cousins having abnormalities so its best to avoid such marriages. If you can avoid it then would advise you to please avoid.

That's an interesting question. I found this article on it. Are you and your cousin, 1st cousin, 2nd cousins or what?

Okay, let us make this scenario clearer . . . Is he your first cousin? Anyway, keep this in mind . . . A first cousins are not supposed to be married because, chances are, some of your children will have some mental abnormalities. Same with third cousins. . . But second cousins can get married. I know some people back in the Philippines, who married their second cousins. Their children are normal like you and me. If you are second cousins, go for it! Don't delay! Be happy! Here's another thing that I suggest . . You said both of you are free again . . . If both of you agree not to have kids anymore, it does not matter whether you are cousins of the first degree or third degree . . If you love each other so dearly - - go, go, be happy! Don't delay . . life is short!

You can get hemophilia from marrying close family members. Fourth cousins are allowed to marry because it is far enough down the line not to contract that blood disorder.

@annierose I know someone here that married his cousin. I was watching this show about religious Jews and everyone they dated wasn't the one and then these two cousins got a long so well that they wanted marry each other. They got along so well and if it someone you know very well why not. I used to think it was weird but now thinking if two cousins get a long so well why not marry each other.

well, maybe according to some biologic books, they said for the health of the next generation, it was better not to married to some blood relations?

That is what they say but i am not even sure if it's true.

Yes cousins are not allowed to really get married. They are our sisters in relation.
