Are you married to your first cousin?

[Roybot]

in Tunisia no couple marry with out the test

Thats good, hopefully when our countries have enough resources maybe we can make it mandatory too.

Most of us In India do not prefer marrying within cousins as in most of the cases it leads to dispute within the families .

Imagine i grew up along with my cousin as she call's me( Bhai ) since our child hood which itself is a wonder relation between us as i always see her as my sister . but the very next moment if she happens to be my wife then definetly it our relation will get weired. it depends upon family to family which follows this tradition .

But at the end of the Day ,, Sab ALLAH KE MARZI HAI ... Who ever he chooses is the best for us .

In our family female cousins are like strangers.

i dont understand.. can you pls explain..

cousin marriages is a social taboo. unless it is a tradition where inbreeding extends to 2nd or 3rd generations its really not AS risky as we are led to believe. the probability of having birth defects is about the same as a woman over 40 having children. it is legal in almost all countries in the world.

personally i would never marry my cousin as i was socialized to see them as my brothers...but there are alot of people i've met who are okay with it. and i understand that because they weren't raised with the same mentality as myself...

i don't exactly see it as a backward or islamic practice as people all over the world marry cousins. with the advent of science it is becoming easier to screen for genetic diseases and to avoid genetic issues in the child. outlawing cousin marriages under the basis of increased probability of birth defects doesnt make sense because then women over 40 having children should also be outlawed under the same logic. but ofcourse if this is like a family tradition with crazy inbreeding going on into 2nd and 3rd generations...its alot riskier and restrictions should be imposed.

i would say people should avoid it...especially if they don't have access to world-class healthcare. but at the end of the day its a personal choice.

Well, it varies society to society and own perspective. Cousin marriage in my country is not regular thing but if it happens no one really mind.
