Blood type does not affect the ability of a couple to conceive a child. When we talk about blood type, we are describing the proteins on the surface of the red blood cell. The plus or minus sign after the letter is a specific protein called the Rh factor (someone with an O protein who lacks Rh factor is O-, for example). While these proteins don't play a role in conception, they can play a role in the pregnancy and life of the newborn.
If a woman is Rh negative (she doesn't have the Rh factor on the outside of her red blood cells) and her fetus is Rh positive (inherited from its father) it is possible for some of the fetus' blood to leak into the mother's circulation and cause her to develop an immune response against the baby's Rh factor. In subsequent pregnancies this can lead to the breakdown of the red blood cells in the fetus or newborn and can be a serious problem. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent this now, which is one reason that it is so important for all pregnant women to have routine prenatal healthcare.

Of course not true. Scienticfically and legally there are nothing to say that same blood group cannot get married. It's only some research found that couple with close gene (such as cousin, sibling and etc) will have a higher chance of having a deform baby.

Oh, dear. You're a bit off the track. There's nothing wrong with getting married between people with the same blood group. For instance, my parents are both A+ and I'm also A+, you always inherit blood group from one of your parents.

No there is NO reason why you cannot get married. That is a bunch of bunk. Although marrying a first cousin and having children greatly increases the risk of an intellectually impaired child.

No.... the same blood type is not an issue. The blood tests are to check to see if you both are "carriers" of genetic diseases like anemia, etc. to let you know that if you have children the chances of them being born with something.

if you are from the same group then your kids will be the same group so it's a bad idea because it ruins the surprise. Is a lot better if they have a good chance of being either group.
Also being from the same group, you can give them transfusions so it prevents you from making new friends from whom you could get blood donation if the child needs surgery....

There is no truth to that whatsoever. Don't listen to people who are ignorant.

Absolutely no reason why you two can't get married.
