venusenvy: Its definately illegal in Canada Thank god!
Oh dear! I think the Canadian head of state is the Queen of England (and all her dominions) and her lot have been marrying their first cousins for centuries.
Are people still prosecuted by the crown in Canada?
It would be worth marrying a first cousin just to mount a very unusual defence! You'd go into the history books but you's most likely be beheaded for treason for some old law that's never been repealed!
Godsgift: It was very common in rural areas till recently so that the land could be kept within the family. We have whole communities who aren't quite the full shilling!

Zimzane: I've heard of kissing cousins, but not married cousins. But if that is what somebody wants to do, then by all means do it.
Widely spread around here - in the whole region... Huge number of children, who need special care. Relatively low level of achievements at school - from the small % that attend school. Many do not. There are still nomads, liing in tents and moving around.
A year ago newspapers reported about a father, who demonstrated "clearing" of his family honour by publicly slaughtering his daughter in the village maidan... Just because she had dared to date some boy... And the practice shows keeping such men for about 3 months in the prison (maximum!) and let them free.
It is very strange to read such a thread from a Eu-originating lady, though...
