First of all I have a serious family issue running in my family. I was brought up in the united states as well as my brother and sisters. However, ever since my brother has brought my cousin over from her country in Asia(I won't be too specific as to where) he has fallen in love with her and she feels the same way about him. I totally disagree with them and do not want them together even though I know they love each other. I believe that my brother deserves someone alot better than her and is financially stable likewise. And she is not anywhere close to that as of right now or possibly anytime in the future. My question is this how do I cope with their relationship? They plan to get married one day and settle down. I don't know how to live my life knowing that he is marrying his first cousin. I think it is embarassing not only to me but for other people to know about their marriage. I think my brother can find someone alot better than her. What should I do?

I don't think that their will be a problem with his kids either. Because my biological parents were cousins but not as close as my brother and his soon to be wife.

I hate to see my brother wiping her *** because she can't do it herself. If I had a husband like that I don't know what I would do, maybe move out of the country.

My family has come a very long way from poverty to riches. And I can't stand seeing this happen in front of my eyes, what I should do is build myself and move out of that house and make a career and never accept his kids he made with her.

Well what you think is really immaterial.. the first question would be "is the marriage between 1st cousins legal in the state /country they are intending to get married in?" Some its legal some its not.
As for you think he can do better... NONE OF YER BUSINESS.. cousin or not.. thats HIS business not yours... Only thing you are gonna do is alienate 'em.. and then you wont ever have to worry about it at all cuz they wont speak to you at all.
This isnt your decision to make... Just as its not his decision to make who you marry etc when that time comes..
What should you do? You should sit down and SHUT UP.. its not yer Biz..
If its a mistake.. its his mistake let him make it on his own...
Oh and that genetic defect stuff.. science wise pretty much a load of crap.. and even when it does occur takes many many generations of constant inbreeding.. so that argument is out..
Now whats funny here is your 'feelings" seem to be a little jelouse.. almost 'incestious" one might say..

Wow! I don't know what you can really do. Love is a pretty strong thing. Have you tried talking to him about it? Tell him that his kids might come out with some pretty serious problems. Hopefully this fact will be enough to scare him.

I feel for you, i wouldn't like it either, all i can say is try and talk to him, how old are they? I don't care what anyone says it is wrong, blood should not have relations in that way, 1rst cousins is pretty close. Lots of luck to you.

Saddam Hussein married and had kids with his cousin. Uday and Kusay turned out ok if you could overlook their propensity for raping and murdering and torturing.
