Married to your first cousin is not wrong. A lot of People approved of homosexual marriage yet they have a problem with two cousin getting married.People should be complaining about homosexual relationship.
Agreed the first Statment but both Relationships aren't any Disapprovals as long it is acted with Responsibility and Respect. Being in a Homosexual / Interracial Relationship is Common and also engaging into a Relationship with your Cousin.
BACK THEN ALOT OF PEOPLE MARRIED THEIR COUSINS. SO THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE SCRUTINIZED OR MADE TO FEEL ASHAMED THEY ARE HUMAN AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO LIVE THEIR LIVES THE WAY THEY WANT.
Kalash Operator there is difference between marrying your close cousin or marrying your distant cousin i guess lol but like it's pretty weird to me if someone would marry their close cousin but to me it wouldn't be really THAT big of deal if someone would marry their distant cousin. My explanation is shit.
@@kiwishbj1 Yeah.. It's been two years now and our families still didn't know anything. Right now we're leaving distance apart, i mean it's a long distance relationship because we don't actually live near houses just like normal relatives do. But still we manage to see each other when we have time..
@@sheanviebering7603 Sounds so sexy and sweet. Love that boy I know he will love you back. I am in the same situation too with my cuzin. And it's so sweet.
@@kiwishbj1 Yeah it's so sweet and challenging at the same time because we tend to lie to our families just for the sake of our love coz u know here in Philippines we don't accept marriages like this. And also it may be so hard for each families to since My Mother and his were siblings so it's really hard yet it's fulfilling coz no matter what we won't give up coz it's where were happy 😊😊😊
@@sheanviebering7603 The challenging part of lying to family and friends is the best secret am sharing with her. She hides what we do and that makes me feel even more in love with her. I know she loves me and I do too. Anytime we are together family members think we are just cousins walking around..but to us we are sweetheart lovers unknown to them. When we make love, we feel heaven.!!
It's okay to be in love. People don't plan to fall for someone it just happens. And yeah love is love. We can't change it unless it's one sided or something. If we ever planned to fall for someone then right now there would be no incest love. Because literally no one would plan for falling in love with his/her cousin. It's kinda sad how the society see's it. It's kinda sad to see how judgemental the people are. Also,it's okay to love and be togather rather than dying without happiness. And if it's about their offspring, they can adopt. And if they want their own child let them have their own because it's sure that they know what will be the consequences. Maybe they know how they'll have to handle the child. PS: Stop being judgemental. And know that we all are also the desendents of incest. So be it.
Bruh, that's literally her Dad's, brother's, son. Do the math. I don't understand why you weirdos keep defending this, but honestly this shit is disgusting. Sure you may fall in love with their looks or emotionally or whatever, but you're supposed to grow out of that. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You're supposed to mate with a stranger, not someone of DNA, that's incest dude.
@@AA-js8yx Sexual relationships between close family members. I. E. A brother, dad, cousin, grandparents, mother, uncles, aunties. If I'm so ignorant to the topic, why would I talk about it? 🤨
@@AA-js8yx They don't even deserve to be in a romantic relationship. This shit's ungodly and I've lost faith in humanity. I'm waiting for Yellowstone to erupt. Have a nice day. 💀
This was normal on the 1900's and even further in back. Now it's frown upon. O have forever loved my cousin from the time I can remember , we both married and had children with other people and after 23 years if not seeing each other we both still felt the same way and are now engaged. 💙
@@itsjustmep604 you just have to be ready if it means people never speaking to you is it worth it ? Are you ready for all the stuff they are going to say and threats. All that came with our relationship but we told everyone that it was thier issue ... not ours. We were ready to cut family ties with all who didn't accept. Cause we are older and know what we want for the rest of our lives. And he is worth it for me. I know in my soul.
Go for it! You only live once and if true love is possible for you take it. Nobody says anything when two bipolar people, two cancer patients, or two dwarfs get married and have kids, so the genetic argument is just an excuse to discriminate based on feelings. Even trans people are getting married and having kids now. Just get a genetic screening before getting pregnant so you know the risks.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG ON DATEING YOUR COUSIN, I WAS CHECKING THAT ON THE BIBLE & THERE'S NO METION ABOUT HAVEING A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM OR HER, PLUS YOUR BOTH ARE GROWN ADULTS & YOU BOTH SHOULD DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO STILL GO OUT WITH HIM, AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAY HAVING BABIES WITH YOUR COUSIN IS BAD I DON'T THINK SO IT'S BEEN STUDY THAN LESS THAT 3 TO 5 % WILL THE BABY COME OUT WITH A DEFECT. Show less REPLY
Hi Jonathan, you sound very level headed and open minded. I like that! I am a casting producer here in LA and we are doing a documentary TV series on this subject. Would you happen to know any of these cousin couples?
25% of all marriages are cousins...so no big deal in most of the world except maybe N. America. Most worry is birth defects.In general pop. Chances for defects are btw. 2 and 4%,in cousins it's 4 to 6%,not a lot of difference! Love on!
Hey, let's bring adoption into play. In the US, it is legal for two adult cousins(doesn't matter if they're 1st,2nd,3rd, etc.) to get married if one of them is adopted with no genetic connections. In this case, it's really tricky and trippy. No matter the age, bringing a new adoptee into a new family is challenging for everyone and it takes years to solidify those new family bonds. I believe it would be devastating for this scenario to take place because it definitely could break those family bonds and give everyone a reason to judge those two people. That's not fair to both people, especially the adoptee. The adoptee is taking a big risk breaking those precious bonds that they had to learn to form for years and find their placement in the family. It definitely would cause a ton of resentment and drama that tests family morals and values. It feels too risky and heartbreaking to endure in order to achieve happily ever after. I couldn't imagine how the two people in the video felt when they were actually contemplating how to navigate through their situation and they're actually related! Hopefully the risks are worth it for everyone.
Birth defects are just as likely if you have a child when you are past the age of 40, so if you ban cousin babies than you have to ban older people having babies as well.
I was born when my father was over 40 and my mother 39 and they're 1st cousins! if what everybody say is "true" i have a great chance to have Birth defects. BUT, none of what we think is a fact actually accurate! i'm a healthy 27 yo man and all my siblings are fine both physically and mentally. What makes it interesting that my uncle married a woman outside our family and even the whole country they now have 7 kids, one of them has a heart problems! 3 of them have a severe asthma exacerbation and all of them have a serious health conditions. isn't that strange! me and my siblings should have a higher rates of Birth defects Instead we end up fine and the none-related parents who are in their 20s at time they had their kids end up with a babies born with medical issues!
Am 25 and planning to marry 19 year my "second cousin once removed" , also both her parents are cousins. I don;t see any problem and risk are over rated. also i iknow many close cousin relation in our family and there is no single unhealthy child
Hi there, I am a casting producer here in LA and we are looking for cousin couples to be on our documentary series. Did you ever get married to your love?
dragon rider where did you find that bullshit? I can guarantee you that third cousin marriages are grimy morally and medically next time at least lie convincingly next time
I don't know where you live but second cousin marriage is legal in all 50 states of the USA. Marrying your second cousin has an even less risk of birth defects in the children compared to marrying your first cousin. Your full sibling shares 50% of your DNA while half siblings share only 25%. Similarly, your first cousin shares 12.5% of your DNA while your second cousin shares just about 3%. The genetic risk associated with second cousins having children is as small as it would be for two unrelated individuals. A second cousin, once removed shares only 1.563% of your DNA. So the risk might be even lower? According to the Clinical Genetics Handbook, children of non-related couples have a 2-3% chance of being born with a birth defect, and children of first cousins have a 4-6% chance. This is not a huge chance, but it is real! By comparison, a woman over 40, who is not married to a relative, has a 10% chance of having a child with a birth defect.
Some people just do what they like with their lives, and some obey what others said. Even if it's normal according to the laws some people are afraid that someone will say or think something. The end of the story. It's not about marriages, it';s a bout free-minded people and sheeple.
20% of all mirages world wide are 1st cousins so imagine the amount who are not married, 70to 80% of india marriages are cousins lso children of non-related couples have a 2-3% chance of being born with a birth defect, and children of first cousins have a 4-6% chance. Most compared to a history channel show they watched once about kings and queens of egypt and deformed kids well yes after 15 generations on inbreeding your going to have issues Live and let live
I just started dating a cousin of mine, a relative I never met, and her mother, who is my aunt, I also never met my mother and sister, I never met them, my grandfather always talked about them, my aunt is my eighth sister Mom, my cousin and I were already attached and the whole time I've dated three times now with my cousin I want it to last until I marry her
So, if cousins have kids together then are the parents also cousins of their kids? So their kids could say "hey Mom or hey cousin, or hey Dad or hey cousin"
I don't care if it's common in other countries, it's taboo here in the states. I love my cousins but I love them as a cousin not in a sexual way. There are millions of people out there, what is the point of messing around with family member. Let alone the fact that there are high risks in birth defects in they choose to have children.
@Peasant Scrublord Then Leviticus 18: 1--27 ""1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I AM The LORD your GOD. 3After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. 4Ye shall do MY JUDGMENTS, and keep MINE ordinances, to walk therein: I AM The LORD your GOD. 5Ye shall therefore keep MY statutes, and MY JUDGMENTS: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I AM The LORD. 6None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am The LORD. 7The nakedness of Thy father, or the nakedness of Thy mother, shalt Thou not uncover: she is Thy mother; Thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8The nakedness of Thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is Thy father's nakedness. 9The nakedness of Thy sister, the daughter of Thy father, or daughter of Thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness Thou shalt not uncover. 10The nakedness of Thy son's daughter, or of Thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness Thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. 11The nakedness of Thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of Thy father, she is Thy sister, Thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 12Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of Thy father's sister: she is Thy father's near kinswoman. 13Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of Thy mother's sister: for she is Thy mother's near kinswoman. 14Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of Thy father's brother, Thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 15Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of Thy daughter in law: she is Thy son's wife; Thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 16Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of Thy brother's wife: it is Thy brother's nakedness. 17Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt Thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 19Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20Moreover Thou shalt not lie carnally with Thy neighbour's wife, to defile Thyself with her. 21And Thou shalt not let any of Thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt Thou profane the name of Thy GOD: I am The LORD. 22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is ABOMINATION. 23Neither shalt Thou lie with any beast to defile Thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26Ye shall therefore KEEP MY STATUTES AND MY JUDGMENTS, and shall NOT commit ANY of these ABOMINATIONS; neither any of your OWN nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)""
Well, let's see. We are descendants of Adam and Eve (makes us all cousins) and then again from Moses and Naamah. Abraham married his sister, Sara; Issac married his first cousin, Rebecca and then Jacob married his cousin, Leah. Let's not judge and not be so quick to scream immoral. By the way, I married my first cousin, Deborah
A first-cousin shares 12.5% of the DNA. Half-siblings share 25% of the DNA. Siblings share 50% of the DNA. The risk of having children with abnormalities for a first-cousin union is 4% to 6%. It means 94-96%, the children will be normal.
Man it's hard when you think of your cousin constantly, She is beautiful, with another guy though, wish she was my girl, I have wanted to marry her ever since she was 14, now she is in her 20's, I'm 36, might seem crazy to some people, but I done my research and it's ok to marry cousins, I try to think of other women and my thoughts just keeping thinking of her :-) So frustrating,wish we could just be together
Craig Lange does she know about this? She might not share the same feelings as you. You might want to keep it to yourself. Can do a lot of damage. Especially since she's with another dude.
Am 25 and planning to marry 19 year my "second cousin once removed" , also both her parents are cousins. I don;t see any problem and risk are over rated. We should be worried about killer vaccine than cousin marrige
@@kindacuter i would to, but she didnt reciprocate the same feelings and shes still single at 44 years old. im 54. we could of had a beautiful life together.i think her parents regret it now especially her mom who has the same birthday as my mom. imagine.
The problem is not in the present but the future. This kind of relationship will encourage future generations to follow the same path, and this is where the problem occurs. A family tree going through generation after the next inbreeding, will stack up the risk factors leading to decreased biological fitness. If you're religious then you know, what you do to your parents, shall happen to you. For non religious, family gatherings have no lines anymore, for you have set the example. You will most likely lose a lot of family anyway due to the relationship. Incest starts a chain reaction of biological impurity that will always lead to ruin
It's not natruel to sleep with your cousin but people have become sefish they don't care they do what they want even tho it's wrong and she said 3 children are well but the baby was still born and this was caused by sleeping with blood relitive even tho they will deny this because blood should not mix
It is vary normal, 20% of all marriges world wide are 1st cousins also children of non-related couples have a 2-3% chance of being born with a birth defect, and children of first cousins have a 4-6% chance. Most comapre to a history channel show they watched once about kinga and queens of egypt and deformed kids well yes after 15 generations on inbreeding your going to have issues
@@eileenespinosa4286 I still don't see what's wrong about it some times you can't control your feelings. Just because the person you love is your cousin should mean that you should stop love her. Love is love.
@@eileenespinosa4286 why should I see a therapist is it because am not scared to sow how I love. And yes I am married with my cousin and I love her more then anyone in the world
it’s not illegal in all the states of america. it’s legal in some states like California and New York. me and my first cousin are in love and we have decided to share our lives together and we also have a big age gap but we both don’t want to have kids and we both are ok with it. you can’t choose to fall in love with whom. love is love but this is a risky thing. some people thinks marriage between cousins are disgusting and some people don’t. it is more acceptable in eastern counties and when you do this in European countries or Canada or America you might lose your friends or people might think something is wrong with you which i don’t care cause true friend doesn’t judge you. just listen to your heart and do whatever you want. No one should judge you if they really love you. it’s not sick or horrible, people have different opinions and it doesn’t matter. me and my cousin share the same family name but he has changed his last name long time before our relationship so nobody knows that we are first cousins except his close friends and they are completely happy for him.
Hi Kiana, I really like your open minded attitude about this. You seem perfect for a show I am casting about cousin couples. It is a docuseries we are doing for a great TV network. So is it a secret from you family? Do any of your friends know? I would really like to tell you a bit more about our project. We are paying people who are on the show as well of course.
@@somekind3020 it does cause birth defects, search it up on Google. We all have a few "bad" genes, you share a few of those "bad" genes with your family members. So if you were to have kids, with a family member you have a much higher chance of passing it onto your child.
Way to quote Dr.Phil but with the cherry picking but a little research from someone who actually studies genetics for 30 yrs show the risks arent as high as ppl think. Only when familys do it generation after generation which are the statistics shiwn on the show, not. The random one generation marriage. La Maci I dont have a sister lmao
Regardless of what people think 1st cousin relationships are not incestuous and do not result in birth defects. It is only incestuous if it is with a member of your immediate family (parent or sibling). With regards to the birth defects the children of an unrelated have 2% chance of genetic illness while children of cousins have 4% chance. There are many people out there born from a cousin union and are absolutely fine genetically. The birth defects are more likely to occur if their kids have children with their cousins and so on and so forth. Not really that disgusting if you think about the science of it. Also we are all related if you go back far enough, and if everyone goes back in their family tree I guarantee there was a cousin pairing somewhere along the line. Little bit of trivia: all humans share more DNA with bananas than 1st cousins, and people eat bananas... just something to think about. Wish people were a bit more open minded when it comes to first cousin relationships.
sorry I cant wrap my head around this..... but I couldn't finish watching the rest of this....but my motto is live and let live.....so on my merry way I go.....
well dunno in my country more than 40% is cousin marriage ...some r even forced into it because they said a cousin is a better husband than a stranger ....and in my family my two grand mother married to their cousins my sister too hahah just saying she fell in love and married to our cousin because we r conservative society the girl cantgo out much so she end up falling in love withone of her cousins and they are all healthy all my family members ...i am truly shocked that some ppl think it os incesteous i was shocked the onlu ppl u can't marry r u direct family but cousins thats okay ofc i know therisk of genetic diseasesa
There are many countries like this. It's only disgusting because that's what the culture you grew up in taught you to think. In Colombia nobody cares if you're dating or married your cousin. It's socially acceptable in many parts of the world.@@powderwigwoodenteethmf5037

I saw an interview where the cousin couple gets asked this and their response was how they will accept it because as long as their children are happy, they are too. So basically, they don't give a shit if their children falls in love with their first cousin.
I live in Israel. Acording to Jewish law first cousins can marry. But... I know acouple here in Israel and they were cousins and married. They had 3 not normal kids!! 1 was in an institution. The other 2 were at their home . 2 have past away already. 1 left. Sad
If you think about the Torah all the relative relationships of family center around father daughter/mother son relationships A son cant marry his grandma a daughter her grandfather, a son can not marry his mother nor a daughter her father/ a sibling cant marry another, even those who are born from a privious marriage, aunts either directly related or not cant marry nephews and nieces cant marry uncles who are equally the same, most are forbidden because of the apperiance of evil not fully due to direct genetic connection as the mother siblings as well as the fathers bother carry similar genes. But the genes of cousins are quite separeted seeing the male cousin and the female cousin would have two separations due to the fact that either father or mother would have no connection to the family gene pool.
Seriously, you think it’s ok for their children to grow up and knowing their grandfather is also their great UNCLE 🤨 When it comes to incest I think people need to seriously think about the ramifications for the future of their actions and just say NO. Think of incest as a drug, If you try it nothing good can come out of it and you just make the decision not to 🤨
Children of shem,ham,Japhet married their cousins.....kings and queen of British married their cousins.....it's not forbidden in Leviticus 18..... those who practice and believe in a book called Anti biblical, forbid this part because it's custom
@@lrj4302 Your cousin's son is your second cousin. Race has nothing to do with it. And if he's your cousin's son that means that he is half of the race your cousin.is. So I dont know why you think he's a different race than you..

Whatever! If they are consenting adults, why should it matter? Why place a value judgement between the same-sex marriage and consanguineous marriage if it is consensual?
If there is no fraud or deceit involved, it really shouldn't matter as far as the law is concerned. Bottom line is if it's between consenting adult and no fraud or deceit is involved, it should remain a civil matter and not a criminal matter. It shouldn't be any of the government's business. Especially in cases of GSA.
Hi Ahmed, congratulations! I am a casting producer in Los Angeles and we are doing a new TV documentary about cousin marriages. We are looking for great couples to be on our series in the States.

@Rani Saab Thank you I'm not gonna visit your country anyway. How can a culture allow that? Ask that to your south indian people. They're doing this for centuries. they're hindu too. Christian in the middle east does that, Bhuddhist in myanmar, Sri lanka do that too. By the way I love my fiance very much she was the one who proposed me. we are in love & yes we know the risk that's why we have done some tests it came out ok.
out of billions of people, we don't intentionally choose and plan who to fall in love with you probably never fell in love since you dont know this feeling :)
The death was totally unrelated to them being cousin. But youll believe what you want. Statistically 94% of the time the kids are perfectly normal. No comment on the fact that their kids are ok? Hhmmm
Its just they decided to have alot of kids...like 4 and also it died cuz of normal problems...many people loose their child when they have alot of kids...its survival for fittest nor any genetic disease...
