@akaprincess

so, a blood relative such as a cousin, whom you grow up under the same roof is more wierd than a nonrelative, growing up under the same roof (as brother and sister) to get married to

Hmm.. to me, its the same

Would you call it weird if two people grew up together in the foster care system ended up marrying each other.

Why do you think it’s weird? The only reason I see, for people not marrying close relatives, is the increased risk of having kids with disabilities. There is no such risk increase in the case you mentioned. The risk goes from 2.5% to 5% when comparing offspring of unrelated couples and first cousin couples. That’s why I say marrying cousins might be considered weirder.
