How do people marry their cousins ???
I think it's just wrong on so many levels. One of the local girls got pregnant by her first cousin and then they got married ...NASTY.
Plus , there's a higher chance of you having children with disabilities ...FACT.
And imagine the fights it could cause between the family !
There's a billions of other ppl out there ... Why marry your cousin ?
Why do people act like marrying your first cousin or second cousin is wrong? I mean the only reason why most of you think it`s wrong its because of the way people view it in the western world, and who are they to say what`s right and wrong. I mean I have seen loads of people who are the product of first cousins, my grandpa and granma on my paternal side are first cousins(Ilma-abti and Ilma-habreed) and they had 11 kids and none of them were disable or retard or anything.
Did he bang his own cousin outside marriage? now that`s wrong,nasty and twisted
There's no FACT about it,you're only saying that 'cos yiu been brought up on a diet of Eastenders and Home and Away
Actually, the science says it barely matters.
People have 50% in common with their parents. Their parents have 50% in common with their siblings. Their siblings have 50% in common with their children. Therefore, there is a mere 12.5% overlap in genetic content.
Any harmful genes you possess must be recessive (otherwise they would harm you). Therefore, because of the 12.5% overlap, and assuming you have a single harmful gene, there is only 1/4 of 12.5% chance, or 3.125% chance that the gene will be homozygous recessive (= harm to the child = bad incest). If you would possess 22 such genes, only then would the chance of harmful incest be 50-50. But having 22 such genes, and none of them being homozygous, is rare.

Yeah , Kacsi got the better of them .
Yeah well your grandparents are lucky but the risk is still considerably higher and I've seen ppl it's happened to.

The risk between first cousins is small, and between second cousins is practically in existent, its as if you married any other stranger. Its not that big of a deal medically

wtf ma dad kale beey wayeen for crying out loud, is this in Somalia? or the UK?
I don`t think it had anything to do with luck, you have couples who are not related to each yet their children are disable, sometimes more than 1 child is disable.
Look at all these hillbillies, marrying cousins is ok kulaha. Marrying your fathers little sisters daughter is messed up. wallahi i wonder how these backward Somalis discovered the internet
