Is it ok to get married to a cousin?
-
I heard that other countries can marry his own cousin but im not sure the standard here in singapore. I started to really like my cousin. so im just wondering is it ok? do u guys in love with your cousin too?
-
well. I think, it's like a person marrying a step sister. Though not related, BUT still related.
And you want to call your Aunt as your mother-in-law? And your mum and your aunt become in-laws? And if your grandparents are the traditional type, they'll probably say they carry one less grandchild in comparison to both you and your cousin having different spouse.
You can do whatever you want,because you have a choice. But ultimately you'll just have to face the consequences; how people will look at you two, how your child in the future will be affected by your decision now. and please don't state the 'love knows no boundary' thing, or 'this is the 21st century,times have changed'. I think it all goes down to principles.
Apologies if it sounds offensive anywhere.

Cousins bearing the same surname (tang2) as yours - cannot! Cousins not bearing the same surname (biao 3) - Can!

eh , not recommanded if u want to have kids with ur cousin
i heard that if u married to a 'blood related ' person ( eg. ur sister , ur brother , ur cousin , some other relative ) ur kids might have some problems .
my tution teacher told me she have some case like that where cousin married to the other or something like that and their kid born with some problem ( i not sure about that )
try google about this and check it out
i am not saying u cannot marry or cannot like her ,but try to think of the outcome for both of you

Something is just not right. Imagine the stigma your kid has to live with.

I am assuming that you are referring to first cousins. Well, the possible problems go beyond social stigma. There's also the issue of genetic problems.
By marrying someone close to the family, you run the risk of having your children come down with genetic ailments if both you and your cousin carry the same regressive genes that can cause it. Blood relatives have a good chance of carrying these same genes.
First cousins (the children of your parents' siblings) are a bit too closely-related - after all, you share the same grandfather.
Second cousins (the children of your parents' cousins) would probably be better.

can go ahead.
i will attend your wedding.
please keep me posted.
-
A cousin is a member of your family.
Not exactly the core family, but the extended family, yes.
I am sure you seldom meet her and talk to her............didnt grow up together........that is why you have sensual romantic thoughts.....but you wouldnt feel the same way to your own sister.....because usually a person grows up together with the sibling........this proves that you seldom visit and keep contact with your cousins therefore you get confused and dont know how to perceive them.
Just my personal opinion.
No flaming please.

Father side not ok, as genetics are too close.
Mother side ok. -

I used to make company trips to Brunei and realised that many people there marry their first cousins. The country is full of people who ate too much until they developed diabetics and drive big expensive cars. Everybody relies on the oil wealth. Nobody wants to work hard and they keep on inheriting diseases. Now, do you want to marry your first cousin? Take a short trip to Brunei and come back and tell us what is your decision.

anyway bro, for the genetic thing is luck 1 i think
my uncle married his cousin, and my 3 cousins seemed ok, no genetic problems or anything
but i find it weird too la
well, if 2 people are really in love, who gives a damn?
but u have to face a damn lot of music though, tongues will definitely wag
in society views, its definity wrong
but heck, as i say, if u 2 can tahan the badmouthing from the gossip-ers, then its fine

sick.
