Not a good idea. Your kids might look funny. But it's your life do with it what you want.

Well I'm assuming you're joking,but if we were to assume you were not the question would be why should anyone but you and your cousin care. A few facts by the way if this is a legit question.

Marrying a first cousin is only legal in approximately 13 states,although most won't do enough of an in depth investigation to know,most don't require even a blood test anymore.

Recent studies show that the incidence of birth defects,etc among the children of first cousins is no higher than the general population,contrary to popular belief.

We are one of the few countries on earth that has a prohibition of any kind against marrying cousins,a remnant of our puritan past.

Using that info make whatever decision you choose.

A few years ago, a large scientifc study was published indicating that biologically/reproductively, there is no danger of genetic problems greater than the normal population. If, however, the family is consanguinous for several generations, they may want to do further studies during gestation to rule out recessive/lethal combinations.

So it should be okay. The nobility of Europe has done this for centuries.

It is great that you are in love with your cousin...but hopefully it is a 3rd cousin or more! In a lot of states, it is illegal to marry your 1st or 2nd cousin...and they just plain won't do it! So, make sure you have everything straight before applying for a marriage license etc.

If your in love then go ahead,if you plan to have children though then i'd have test's done to check that everythings ok.I have friend's that are married & are first cousins,they have a son & he is fine.

That's disgusting. Why would you consider that? Is there nobody else out there to choose from? Do you live on your own planet with only relatives?
And last I checked, you weren't Adam and she's not Eve, or anything like that, so no marrying the relations PLEASE.

r u nuts? you are like a lowest kind of animals who do not know how to control yourself just to follow your desire....like more than dogs and cats who do not know her/his children and make sex with them. It's a big no, that's incest relationship.If its not from your generation child who would have deformities be physical or mental ,next generation will suffer.Will you not feel guilty?

well im in love with one of my cousins. i don't think it's wrong to tell you the truth ur related in a way..but by D.N.A your not.

now getting married is maybe going to really upset the family i would think but if they don't mind..hey what the heck!

good luck.

I think it is disgusting to marry your cousin and I think it should be prohibited by law.

TO SOME PEOPLE IT'OS WRONG TO BE "IN LOVE" WITH YOUR COUSIN.BUT MY SUGGESTION IS THAT IF THAT IS WHAT YOU TRULY FEEL,AND YOUR PARENTS DON'T MIND THEN I SAY GO FOR IT.
