Yes, it is allowed in islam and also in some christianity also. like in england one can marry his or her cousin, but in america it is not allowed.

I'm not sure there are any laws preventing someone from marrying an uncle or cousin related by blood, let alone simply by adoption.\n\nI know some 2nd cousins that were married in Florida, and there were no rules preventing it.  Certainly, in the case of close blood relatives (1st cousins) there are risks of genetic problems with children, but I still don't think there are laws that prevent the marriages, except maybe in the case of direct family members (brother/sister).

wow! so many yes! i guess in society and culture section many who blast 4 marrage system in islam are just jealous christians!\n\n  even not all muslims have more than one wife. \n\n any way, from a country where it was allowed till some 60 years back, i can tell it only deteriorates families. it continuous peacefully when one of the wife has low self esteem or have no where else to go she compromises as atleast she has a roof over her head. when it comes to inheritence the situationm is worse.\n\n   ever heard of sati system in india? it was mostly in bengal. you know why ? in bengal hindu law of inheritance daybhag was applied. that meant the widow had a full right of her husbands property even if she had no child. in rest of india widow without child just had life interest in property. polygamy was rampant. so the result was youger wives were often forced to die on funeral pyre along with their husbands. you have no idea the downfall and problems such systems cause in society.\n\n  if you read history of mugals you will find how many brothers cut each others throats because every queen and her chldren claimed the throne as their right. \n    \n   other than that when some of partners will be emtionally and otherwise deprived of marital needs they are going to cause problems in families.\n\n your family system is already falling apart. are you looking for a last nail?

Nope. (Muslim women cannot marry a non muslim man but Muslim man can marry a non muslim women.) Seems biased isn't it? But there is a reason to this. You have to study MAN and WOMEN (behavior) individually regarding (LOVE) in (ISLAM). \n\nI can explain but i won't cause i want you to find the ans yourself. Study the sentence and word i've just highlighted above. \n\nGod Almighty All Merciful All Knowing knows which we know not.

Astaghfirullah.  May Allah grant you the knowledge of Truth shall you be misguided, and may Allah have mercy upon your soul shall you be a kufar claiming to be a muslim.\n\nMuslims do not practise incest with their children, and such is not allowed by the Teachings of Islam.  The Prophet of Islam -- Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, never did what you stated in your question (not by the texts of the Qur'aan nor by the records of the Hadith).\n\nGod be with you.\nPeace be with you.

Okay...I like this question!\nThe answer is no, but for many reasons that made me actually think for a minute.  I'd give you points if I could!\n\n1) No, you cannot marry her because she is a blood relative.\n2) No, you cannot marry her because she is genetically a male.  Unless laws change by that sci-fi future, two men cannot marry.\n3) No, you cannot marry her by religion.  After all, sex with her would amount to "self abuse"!  lol (won't let me print the M word)\n4) No, because the very process of cloning goes against the Church.  God grants life, not the lab tech.\n\nAgain, good question.\nAll answers are no, morally, legally, religiously, or otherwise.

I didn't realize everyone has been talking a bout Muslim here. Can you tell me more a bout what they  are saying? I'm not Muslim, but I have some Muslim relatives, they are perfectly nice, normal people. Some are embarrassed that their religion has been so negatively in the news lately. What do you think?

I totally agree. God isn't worried about what race a person is, but he does care what people believe. There are many places in the bible where God warns people not to marry a Canainite woman or a person from whatever country. But the only reason for this was that the specific people God was talking about worshiped other Gods. God did say not to be unequally yoked, meaning believers should not be married with non-believers. But it has nothing to do with race.

I have many christian friends who married muslim men.  It is true that we revere Jesus and believe his birth to be a miracle of God.  If you want to stay Christian make sure you make that point very clear.  You can maintain your religion and your love for this man and have a wonderful family.  Please be warned: A muslim man can marry a christian or jewish woman- but his children must be Muslim.  These are things to think about, but if you love him and love God, then it can work. You just have to really sit down and talk to him about all of these things. Good luck to you! God bless.

if your talking about mutah marriage or urfy marriage that's a new thing,,,,but it's against Islam but some people do it anyways...it is where 2 people get married with out anyone knowing and with out paying a dowry...it had become popular in some countries like Egypt and Iran but it is not allowed in Islam.....by the way Iran is a Shiya Muslim Country and Shiya Muslims are not considered Muslims....they are different....

As for me,I am white and married my black man.  I did not associate with my family for three years, yet they called me and they just don't talk about him.  When they start talking trash I let them know, "conversation over"!  I guess, they do love me or they would have nothing to do with me.  I know they are prejudiced, but I KNOW HATE does NOT exist in heaven!  I have to control myself, also because HATE creates HATE!  I love my husband more than anyone or anything I know.  I was never really ME until I met a man who loves me and will do anything for me.  He is first a MAN, and then a BLACK man.  God loves us all.  Where does it ever say in the ten commandments, "thou shall not marry one of another race!"? Where in the new testament does is say such a thing? It DOES not!!

I don't think wanting to get married or not is genetic...\n\nPerhaps their parents or grandparents had a bad marriage and it ruined the idea for them? And they can all get married yet! They're lives aren't over.

Yes.  I have a cousin who ended up marrying the same person i liked, but their marriage did not last.

Perhaps she does.  The question is: How would your family react?\n\nThere's nothing wrong with a relationship between cousins.  It is common in many cultures.  It is encouraged in many cultures.  \n\nFirst cousins only have 25% of ttheir DNA in common.  The risk of birth defects from a cousin marriage is no more that the risk of a birth defects when a woman over 40 has a baby.  \n\nIn the United States, the laws against cousin marriage were passed largely to increase the speed of assimilation of immigrant communities.
