Well not everyone is told or think of their cousins as such. In fact from a religious point of view.....cousins are non-mehrem and shouldnt be viewed as a sibling in the first place.

Most of us have adapted the western point of view when it comes to cousins.

Hmmm also i've noticed that cousin marriages are much more prevelant among desi's then any other (muslim) culture. I wonder why!

deesis are not the only ppl that have cousin marriages...

Albert Einstein married his first cousin. And so did Charles Darwin, who had exceptional children.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the longest serving US president in history married his cousin

The first Prime Minister of Canada, Sir John A. MacDonald married his first cousin.
