^ Thats what i’m sayin, if they can work it out, they should…but then i think this concept is sometimes abused esp in pakistan, when some families will NOT allow outsiders, marriages have to be within families… one really horrific story i heard was that there was this woman who cudn’t get married til she was in her 40s..cz thats when her cousin was old enough to marry her…granted that is an extreme, and i don’t think its too common (or i hope not) but it does show how this concept can be abused. Just b/c it’s allowed doesn’t mean you HAVE to but if one does like a cousin and they want to, religion shouldn’t stop them.

Well that is a remnant of the thriving feudal society where the women get married to a quran or a tree but to outsiders as that will mean the family wealth will pass on to the outsiders!
