If Yuh Fine Out Dat....

[Pepper]

Yuh did get marrid to yuh cousin, wha yuh ooda do?

I have two cousins who did not know they were related until after they got married. They are something like 3 or 4th cousins. They are still married and always joke about it.

BTW, they do have a son and he doesn't have a tail or anything. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Biology Disputes Taboos Surrounding 'Kissing Cousins'

Einstein Kissed His Cuz


Cousins who fall in love have a right to voice concerns. After all, marrying a cousin just isn't done, right?


At least that's what we're taught to believe. Only primitive people who live in isolated places marry cousins, and it's dangerous and leads to creating stupid children.


Or does it? A new study reveals the genetic risks associated with this type of pairing are not as great as once believed.


And consider this — Albert Einstein's parents were cousins, and he married his cousin, too. FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt were second cousins, so were Prince Albert and Queen Victoria and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was briefly married to a second cousin.


In America, marrying your cousin is legally allowed in 26 states and every year about 200,000 cousins wed. Worldwide, it's much more common — 20 percent of all married couples are cousins. In some Middle Eastern countries, almost half of all marriages are to cousins.



Those Who Say 'I Do'


But in America, cousins who find love also find public resistance.

Re: If Yuh Fine Out Dat....

Well my best friend's parents are first cousins from St Elizabeth. They grew up close as brother and sister too, suh is nat like dem nevah know... I kept my face neutral as she unburdened her soul to me [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] (she really feels ashamed)

Apparently there was uproar when they decided to marry and a huge gash has been left in the family because of it. They've been 'together' now for more than 40 years... It got worse though... The dad breed arf him breddah wife and they have a son... [img]/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I think so. Someone I know is married to her first cousin and they have four or five children with various issues.
