Probably right Rockrose . . .  I think in our cultere most have this reaction to the idea of marrying a second cousin.  I know I did.  That is why I asked about his culture-------  where I am wondering if this is the case there as well because if it were common practice, he wouldn't be inquiring about it.  I don't know what is outside of normal there.  Why it wouldn't be acceptable to me if I was asking the question is that at the  point you are starting a relationship with great trepidation such as he seems to have, it has a higher likelyhood to fail.  Not saying it will, but it is starting behind the eight ball and relationships are hard enough as it is.  That was my thought.

Judy,  there aren't any states in the US that don't allow the marriage of second cousins.

Many don't allow the marriage of first cousins,  but many do.  This isn't like marrying your sister,  it's marrying your second cousin.   In smaller communities,  and in the past where communities were more close knit and didn't move around,  this was very common.

Yes, you are blood relations.  Not sure what your cultural belief/religious belief is on that but it would not be an option for me.  good luck

also, it equal to marrying your sister, which is considered incest!

[Judy246]

Well, I'm Christian and can only give you advice as my personal opinion only.  Your mother's sisters is your aunt, your aunts daughter is your first cousins (total count: "bloodline that of a sister, which is equal to incest".

In our country USA, it is against the law to marry relatives that close in blood and considered incest and a taboo to marry family. I'm aware other cultures do not see it this way, but there are consequences such as giving birth to a child that is deformed due to both your DNA being the same. Health issues for baby's, stillborn, miscarriages, deformaties. There are also social and psycological consequences agains such marriages and will be viewed as outcast.

So to answer your questions, it's viewed as close to incest, carries long term social and psycological consequencesthat these people have to live with.  It's not just about the future for innocent inbreed children, but also not accepted by society, the concept itself is considered wrong by most people and those who engage in such relationships will generally be shunned by the society at large.

yes she's your blood relation. she's your second cousin and yes there could be problems with any children you may have. you can't find anyone outside of your family to marry???? not to mention that is slightly gross and disgusting.
