Go to your doctor and get a vaccination against Hepatitis C

Sania, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C. Therefore, it is a problem of the developed world as well as developing countries. If you don't like your cousin, don't marry him. Wait for a better proposal. If you are that concerned about hepatitis C, get that person tested before marriage. Pre -marital testing for various conditions is becoming quite acceptable. I don't think that 70% persons in India are affected with hepaitis C. In Pakistan, the figures are about 5 to 7%. Life in a strange country has its own problems. you will be alone without family support. Do not make a hasty decision. If your parents insist, at least have a long engagement so that you can back out later if you still decide that you don't like your cousin.

Move to London, but do not marry your cousin.. The truth of the matter is cousin or not, that is not what marriage is about. If marriage is simply a quick answer to your problems, then that is all it will ever amount to.. a quick answer.. Do you want your marriage to be about love, romance and adventure?? If this is what you want then wait for it! You will find it.. I guess it depends on what YOU want from a marriage.. I think in the long run you will probably decide that there are many things that you want from a marriage, the least of which being a quick fix. I wish you the best of luck! Hope this helps!

Getting or not getting hepatitis has nothing to do with marrying a cousin or not. If you do not like your cousin then there is no reason to marry him. Find somebody whom you like and before marriage let him have medical check up, just as you should also have medical checkup for the suitability and free from deseases.

Some of the answers here seem to indicate that people think there is a vaccination for Hep C. There is none. They are perhaps thinking of Hep B.
The statistic that 70% of men in the U.S. are infected with Hep C is untrue. You may find out for yourself here on the internet. Also, do you know how Hep C is contracted? It is a blood disease--you can get it from dirty needles, or even from doing a drug like cocaine and sharing the straw....it is not an STD, and your odds of contracting it are low.
It seems your father is trying to control you by sending you to India to marry your cousin. In older cultures, people did enter marriage with family to preserve the bloodline. You should not do this, and further, you should not have to. It sounds like you live with your father? If you are old enough, leave. Find a job for yourself and get a place to stay. If you are under 18, you need to tell someone so that you can get help to be placed under different care.

hepatitis c is not sexually transmitted unless there is blood exposure and this blood would have to enter your blood stream directly, via a fresh open wound or sore.
hcv is not an std *unless the above happens* and certainly not a reason as to why you should marry your cousin!
hcv discriminates no one, not by age, race, family-it could be your cousin has hcv!
that is a high rate for one country. chances are drug use is high and that is the reason for hcv infections (sharing needles, snorting after someone)
you could even be infected already and not know it due to surgery of anykind, ear peircings, nose peircings ect, or involved in mass innoculation, tattoos, many many ways.
if i were your dad i would worry more about HIV and HBV!
POSTERS: There is not a vaccine for HCV!

I think anything but marring a cousin would be a good choice. Before you have intercouse or get married to your prince charming have him checked for hepatitis. Good luck

Sania your father is misinfomed! Britain has a very high incidence of he[paritis C and B. Drug addicts and prostitutes spread this problem via dental surgeries and many other ways even kissing or you drinking from a glass they have used.
As for marrying your cousin? This is frowned upon and unwise. It is from these such unions that inbreeding is found and retardation and idiocy is resultant of.
Find someone in your own country who is free from the disease ( have them checked out prior to any commitment) also make sure they stay faithful. Cut of his testicles if he strays and infects you.
Go to London by all means, don't marry your couisin, and find a nice person who loves you for who you are and is not related by birthrite .

Even though marriage to your cousin is legal, and used to be everywhere ( President Roosevelt was married to his cousin.), you would be running the risk of having babies with gentic mutations. I would hope that you can find someone there in India who you can marry without risks. Good Luck.

it must be part of your culture to marry a cousin. Here in the US it's unheard of because we don't marry close family members. I would not marry him if I didn't even like him. I'm not clear on the 70%--which country do you mean? U.S.? not true.
