First off, YOU ARE SICK. It's illegal to marry cousins because of the genetics issue, you are blood related to them. If you have sex with them & get pregnant, the baby will be born mentally retarded because your genes are exactly the same as your cousins, there wouldn't be any cross overs making differences. Meaning, there wouldn't be no normal child growth. It's just like marrying your own brother/sister. This might be hard for you to understand. It's a scientific study. Your better off seeking advice from a Genetics Counselor.

OK, so I really don't believe you, but if you want to know, the reason is because the blood lines are so close, that having kids can highly raise the rate of mental retardation in any offspring. How ever, you can marry your 3rd cousin, and the child will be OK, and it's legal to marry a 3rd cousin, still nasty though!

If you are in love with all three, it would still be illegal to marry all of them.
No religion forbids cousin marriages, but not all three. Pick one.
On the serious side, next of kins marriage is a cause of inherited diseases to accumulate, and burst in a bad form.

What are you wanting to do, marry all three? You would be breaking two laws then. Just live with them and take turns on each other. You don't have to get married. When you start having kids you could even start your own carnival side show. "Billy the dog faced boy" and "Hariette the three legged girl".

It mainly comes from the likelyhood of having children born with birth defects. Depending on the family history and genes the likelyhood of having a baby with downs syndrom or several other birth defects can be as high as 1 in 3

ok 3 is a little much. it might not be illegal, but it might be. but you need to look at what can happen if you have kids with that person. and look there are millions of people out in the world, looking for love. step outside your family and you might even find someone better.

You need to do some research it is not ilegal to marry your cousin in many states. Immoral yes but not illegal.

LMAO. The real reason is to prevent inbreeding. Breeding with the same blood brings out recessive traits and mutations that make for very sickly humans.

I live in California and it is perfectly legal to marry a cousin. But why would you want to???? I guess, to each his own!
