[imb706]

[SanaAteeq]

no diseases or such come from it, its a lie. my sis may have been forced into it but she is doin fine now

Khor that is fine, what i meant in my posts were that in our culture first cousin marriage has become too common and i was against that, but once in a while marrying cousins(every couple of generations) is ok as the likeliness of genetic defects in children are reduced greatly...my family have been doing this for centuries and some of our relatives can't reproduce any more and i feel really sorry for them..

i hope it dont happan to my sis that is terrtible, i mean she didnt want to marry our cuz but ya know family honor but i think they be fine

[Badlun]

Besides the factor that cousen marriages have biological aspects, the only reason to marry some one should be a real love otherwise no marriage neither with cousens nor with others

[SanaAteeq]

oh what sicence say about it?

i do feel bad for my sis, being pushed into it from my family but i got scared when i red some stuff on here
