If one of my moms cousin's cousin sister adopted a teenager? would she really be my cousin?

Question

I really like her... would that be incest if i married her??? Please help!

Answer 1

Marriage between cousins at that distance is not considered incest in any state. It could, however, lead to complicated family reactions.

Answer 2

technically...not a problem. But you have the whol morality thing to deal with. If you've alwyas known each other as cousins it could be weird. But wait let me trail this again...

your mom's cousin
then that cousin has another cousin
that cousin adopted a teenager...

you may actually be okay here...third or fourth cousins are not considered incest. And since she is adopted...I think you are fine. As long as you have both not treated each other as family....coz then it'll be awkward. that's all

Answer 3

First of all, its adoption. No blood relation. Second of all, your *adopted* second cousin's cousin once removed is such a stretch of a bloodline, that you can find probably at least 15% of marriages with some blood tie along the same lines.

Answer 4

Incest would be if you were related by blood.

Answer 5

legally, she is your cousin. i have no idea if its incest. but its no problem if it is, just convert to mormonism.

Answer 6

not your cousin so not incest.

Answer 7

she's not blood-related to you, so it shouldnt pose a problem. just make sure she likes you too before making a move

Answer 8

your family tree is going to be a stump

Answer 9

no, you would not be blood relatives......you could marry her

Answer 10

not by blood
