It certainly is a very unique situation. I will not say that it is wrong, because you're right; you really can't help who you fall in love with. It might be slightly awkward at family gatherings, so you should talk it through with her first and make sure it's alright with her if you proceed to be anything more than just cousins. I'm relatively sure that there are laws regarding marriage between first cousins, but if she is more distant than that I would say that I honestly don't know. Proceed with caution. And I'm assuming that you're referring to being in love with her, not just wanting to have sex with her. If you truly are in love with her, then talk to her about it. Best of luck to both of you.

There is only a 2% to 3% chance of a genetic disorder in the offspring of first cousins. Actually, that's low. In 24 states, marriage between first cousins is illegal. There are four states that allow it under certain circumstances and in the remainder of the states, it is perfectly legal. If you were to marry a cousin in a state that allows it and move to a state that does not allow it, the marriage, regardless, is recognized as legal and binding. What do I think about falling in love with a cousin? Love is an emotion, and we really don't have control over our emotions. Frankly, it doesn't bother me at all.

I met my cousin at a club one night quite unexpectedly.I had not seen her in years and she looked really good.Well,I danced with her and we kissed allot.Next I was seeing her all the time,fixing her car and doing things for her.She had just gotten divorced after 20 years of marriage and had her 2 teenage kids living with her.I moved in with her and we got along great for a couple of years.It was very awkward being around my Aunt and Uncle when at family gatherings.It ended up causing allot of friction in my family.Just think about what you are doing.Is your relationship going to cause a problem with your family?How about holidays and birthdays? How will you feel at family get together? Be sure to talk it over with your cousin before you make any decision that will effect you both for the rest of your lives.Good luck and God Bless.

Love isnt wrong but acting on it can. It depends on how close the cousin is.Third cousin or more and your children will most likely turn out fine. If other...adopt . Either way see a theropist and talk about the feelings and how you feel about this.

What if your cousin likes people who use English and spell so that people can understand the question?
Queen Elizabeth of England is married to her cousin. Not her first cousin.
There is a western societal taboo against first cousin relationships but I understand there is no genetic implication for the children.

Yes it's wrong! You're the cousin, you're supposed to protect her from idiots like yourself. I have some pretty fine cousins, but I would never think of scoring with them. That's sick!

In the United States, that's considered too close. In England of the 1800's it was commonly done. What happens if you marry too close in relationship, it can sometime play havoc with the genes.

Doesn't it feel wrong and nasty at all??? I mean I don't understand how you can't help it...I don't think your actually in love I think you just think your in love..With your cousin!

I think you need to fall in love with a nonrelative, even if your kids do come out normal, they will be mocked by their peers and they will be embarassed every time they have to tell someone their mother's maiden name. So please think about how this effects others.
