Re: First cousin Marriages?
there is nothing wrong with marrying your cousin. chances of getting birth defects are 2-3% for non-related couples, and 4-6% for first cousins ... not that big of a diff.
historically, cousin marriages were popular between wealthy families (especially in west), to keep the wealth within the family. 80% of all these gora ppls' ancestors had cousin marriages so i don't know what they find so gross abt it!
