In some states and they can reproduce fairly risk free but its still a risk and all cousins reproducing does is bring out reccessive genes so for all you know it could be a genius gene versus a bad gene its been known to happen

Nope thats not a blood relative unless you are marrying a cousin or something.And even if they would accept your wife as a family member you arent married yet so they wouldnt accept that. Also they are looking for someone outside that home and a wife would typically be using the same amount of money coming in so if you couldnt pay she obviously couldnt either.

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.

Nothing. I mean do you think you will be killed marrying your cousin?

There isn't anything wrong with it.  In many cultures, cousin marriage is considered normal and is even encouraged.  There's plenty of genetic difference between even first cousins to avoid birth defects.  The laws against cousin marriage in the U.S.A. started as a way to force assimilation of immigrants.

The fact that your children's cousins are in his care most of the time is reason enough to have a healthy relationship with him. since the divorce was amicable then there shouldn't be a problem.

romadgo..utter rubbish!...Nothing wrong in common law marriages, I do not live in the US, I am pagan and as a pagan I got 'wed' we had a handfastening ceremony.  Just because its not recognised by law doesnt mean it doesnt work.  Many of my friends live with their life partner, and have kids. A piece of paper doesnt keep you together, love does

Well, why not? \nMarriage between first cousins is legal in all European countries and in 26 states in the US.\nContrary to what the others have said, there is actually not such a huge risk in having children with birth defects as compared to not-related couples (36 per 1,000 : 15 per 1,000 births, 95% confidence interval). So first cousins have a over 94% chance of having healthy children. Lets not forget, a lot of people have diseases passed down the family with much greater likelyhood:  that doesn't seem to stop them from marrying and having children. Why is that not disgusting? Personally, if I wanted to be with my cousin I just might decide not to have children. \nBut isn't it strange that the only thing anybody thinks about is potential children? How about if your cousins aren't planning on children? Is it still awful then? \nLeave them be. They are hurting noone.

I think if civil partnerships are legal, then any two people should be allowed to be civil partners if they want, even family members.  It should be completely up to the two people involved, no restrictions.

No, first cousin twice removed. She's a first cousin to your son/daughter, once removed to your grandson/granddaughter, and twice removed from your great granddaughter. If she was your great great niece, she'd be third cousin.

Thats not Truth!!! I have A Aunt and Uncle, and my Uncle is trully in love with my Aunt. Hell do anything for her. They've been married for a long time!

I once hooked up with my cousin, but she was distant like 7th cousins. she was hot though and we promised never to tell anyone. She is hot though. But yeah I think that you have some serious issues. One of them is incest. But if you must marry her come to the States and you can marry her in Las Vegas.

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).

Are you wondering if cousins can date?\n\nHere is a family. Mr. A had two children, B1 and B2. \nB1 and all of his offspring had two children. B2 and all of his offspring had one child. For simplicity and space I'm not showing the spouses, either. \n\nB1 and B2 are siblings.\nChildren of siblings are first cousins. C1 and C2 are first cousins to C3.\nChildren of first cousins are second cousins. D1, D2, D3 and D4 are all second cousins to D5.\nChildren of second cousins are third cousins. E01 through E08 are all third cousins to poor, lonesome E09. E01 through E08 borrow each others' sweaters and go on double dates. E09 wishes he had a close relative.\n\nEveryone on the same level is the same degree of cousin and is in the same generation. Counting Mr. A as the first generation, the B level is the second generation, C the third and so forth. Everyone in the E level - the third cousins row - is in the fifth generation from Mr. A. He is their great-great grandfather. Most of them have a picture of him in his Civil War uniform over their mantles.\n\nSo, where does the removed business come in? When you relate cousins who are in different generations, that's when. The red line shows why C3 is E08's first cousin twice removed. If two cousins are on different levels, they are removed from each other. C2 has a grandson, E08. C2 has a first cousin, C3. The red line from E08 to C2 goes up two generation levels - where I put the short blue lines. Those are removeds. It is also a removed if you go down. If you start on D3, go left to his first cousins D1 and D2, then drop down a level to E01, E02, E03 and E04, you've reached D3's first cousins, once removed.\n\nMr. A, E01's great-great-grandfather, is four levels up from E01. Any of Mr. A's cousins would be E01's cousins too, four times removed.\n\nLets try it a different way. Look at C3. He has two first cousins, C1 and C2. His first cousins have children, D1 through D4. They are C3's first cousins once removed. (One level down.) D1 -D4's eight kids are two levels down from C3. They are C3's first cousins twice removed.\n\nTo summarize, when cousins have children, you add a degree. When you go up or down a generation level, you add a removed. \nChildren of first cousins are second cousins.\nChildren of second cousins are third cousins. \nChildren of third cousins are fourth cousins, ... \nYour father's first cousin is your first cousin once removed. \nYour grandfather's first cousin is your first cousin twice removed. \nYour great-grandfather's first cousin is your first cousin three times removed, ...\nYou can keep adding removeds and degrees: \nYour grandfather's second cousin is your second cousin twice removed. \nYour great-grandfather's third cousin is your third cousin three times removed ...

As long as she has no genetic connection to you .\nIt is perfectly legal and natural.\nShe is just another woman that just so happens to be your Father`s new wife`s child.\nThat is what I call keeping it in the family.\nGOOD LUCK.
