Re: Cousin marriages- yay or nay in this day and age.
^ I was not bundling cousin marriage with forced marriage. I never stated that the two were the same thing nor did I use one as a basis of argument for the other. I simply responded to aishah’s comment (and only hers) that:
by providing an example of where her statement does not apply. I also stated this obviously does not apply to everyone, but a section within a certain community in the UK. I think it’s you that is being intellectually dishonest by not grasping that.
And in case you didn’t read my earlier comment, I couldn’t care less about who people choose to marry. I also stated that everyone on this thread should stop being so bloody judgemental about the life decisions of others and realise that their experience and view regarding cousin marriage is theirs alone and that others may view things differently. Quite frankly, people can marry their cousins or a random stranger they met on the side of the road, as far as I’m concerned. After all, what other people choose to do with their lives has no bearing on mine.
