I guess it's totally a personal opinion matter really. It's legal in many countries so ergo it's possibly ok? Not for me though to be honest.

As long as you consult your GP about possible genetic problems in the family, I see no problem, I hung around with my cousin when I was a kid, we had great fun, but I married someone outa the family circle. Wish I'd married my cousin now

tomcatwarne: Marriage of Cousins
Despite the long list of degrees of forbidden relationship, you can marry a cousin (courtesy of Henry VIII who changed the law to marry his cousin!). However, it would be sensible for you both to consult your GP to ensure that there are no factors in your family's health records that would make your decision to have children inadvisable on medical grounds.google

I used to know someone who was married to her cousin, had three normal kids actually.... as far as I know they were very happily married.

elienebrazil: It is very interesting point.
i just wonder how we came till here, i mean, how the population spread in the began

Humans
Richard Dawkins.
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins has postulated that human mitochondrial DNA (inherited only from one's mother) and Y chromosome DNA (from one's father) show coalescence at around 140,000 and 60,000 years ago respectively. In other words, all living humans' female line ancestry trace back to a single female (Mitochondrial Eve) at around 140,000 years ago. Via the male line, all humans can trace their ancestry back to a single male (Y-chromosomal Adam) at around 60,000 to 90,000 years ago.
This is consistent with the Toba catastrophe theory which suggests that a bottleneck of the human population occurred c. 70,000 years ago, proposing that the human population was reduced to perhaps 15,000 individuals when the Toba supervolcano in Indonesia erupted and triggered a major environmental change. The theory is based on geological evidences of sudden climate change and on coalescence evidences of some genes (including mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome and some nuclear genes) and the relatively low level of genetic variation with humans.
So I would say at that time with only 15000 people so 7000 female and 700 males spread out across the land ....I would say cousins would be the farthest you could get.....so it could be said that all of our GENES came from people that were related even much closer than a cousin...

Marrying a cousin won't exactly bring good fruit
You could end up having kids resembling oaktree root.

Lilly32: what do you think guys, does it work ?
In some cultures it does and there is no problem of that.But are couples are happy in a such unit.
Genetics, pheramons, its a relative that sharing the same blood line.

An interesting psychological exercise. Clearly the subject touches an irrational chord in some people, judging by their emotional responses.
I watched a documentary awhile back about half-siblings encountering each other by chance (not knowing they were related), and falling in love before learning the were indulging in "sibling ribaldry." I can easily imagine the emotional response that would receive from some posters here.
Funny - I was just visiting my first cousins. One of them requested that I take off my shirt, and I immediately lectured her on her innate evil (though I could hardly blame her!

You keep stating your feelings over and over again, as though they constitute some form of rational argument.
