Cousin/In the family marriages

Re: Cousin/In the family marriages

If you live or plan to live in the west, USA or Europe, I'd keep it at least somewhat quiet if you're married to a first cousin - its just frowned upon and no business of anyone but yours so best not to advertise yeah? Nothing else wrong with it as long as you realize and consider the amount of inter-marriage that has gone on - the more inter-marrying within both family lines, the greater the chance of genetic troubles. You can allay fears or at least refine what risks you may face by having a consult with a genetic specialist. Otherwise, live, love and marry!
