Re: First Cousin Marriges...

“Charles Darwin, the grandchild of first cousins, married a first cousin. So did Albert Einstein.”
google Rothchilds(largest banking family)…the have all been marrying cousins..

Re: First Cousin Marriges...

in south india we have old tradition (still in practice) of marrying your niece, only sister's daughter and not brothers daughter

Re: First Cousin Marriges...

If you marry a cousin and then have children, thats inbreeding (sharing the same genes).

I think you mean theres a difference between Incest and marrying your cousin. Many americans consider it incest but it really isnt - incest really means between father and daughter, sister and brother.

Re: First Cousin Marriges...

well guys im married to my moms sisters son so we r related
but it doesnt matter

Re: First Cousin Marriges…

Here in America you have to get a license before u get married. This license is valid for 3 months. So u have to get married in 3 months, otherwise u have to get a new one.

Once u hve that license u can go to a Molvi or who ever and can get married. After that u hve to register your marriage.

Re: First Cousin Marriges...

what comon... if you don't like something that is permitted by Islam doesn't mean you can call it sick for others. You don't like, don't go for it. No one is forcing you but calling it sick for others is just stupid.

Re: First Cousin Marriges...

It is permissible but I personally don't rate the practice. I have witnessed first cousin marriages that fall apart, sadly the fallout for the wider family is tragic , whole Khandans are known to disintegrate .

Re: First Cousin Marriges...

It's a repugnant practice which ought to be outlawed. It's particularly harmful among populations which already have a high degree of inbreeding (like Pakistanis). In addition to the well known increased risk of recessive disorders studies have found that it lowers IQ.

I am glad I am not inbred!
