  Heard this from a superstitious relative.

  Is it true that guy and girl with the same surnames cannot be couples and get married???

  From what I heard, it is like marrying your own brother or sister since he/she has the surname as yours.

  Is it true???

  Okay. Do you know how this sir names came about?

  In the past, the Chinese in china lived in different towns(sorry I don't know the technical term).

  For example, people with 'Lee' as their sir name can be from the same town.

  Same sir name

  Doesnt mean that they have siblings because they can come

  From the same town.

  In Korea, a law in the past mandates same surnames cannot marry.

  In the past, law makers were Confucian influenced.

  hahah where got such things...after so many generations of filtering believe the gene is dilluted already.

  Dont see any harm in sharing the same surname with your spouse. But it would be cool to have your partner share the same surname as you do.

  Same surname with no blood relation is OK to marry.

  Wat they are concerned about is same surname may be from the same bloodline.

  Looking at family tree might shed some light...

• winsomeea

  If no family tree, go blood test.
