No, it's very very very frowned upon. "Disgusting" as society says.
But, Edger Allen Poe married his cousin. So, hey, do what you want. Lol.
From what I remember it's legal in Japan for cousins to get married (even if your first cousins). So it's kind of normalised in Japan
Marriage among cousins is pretty common in my community I think. Espscially arranged marriages. I didn't even know it was considered incest or something disgusting until I read Yaoi mangas lol
Where are you from?
It ain't normal and also carries a case of abnormal births. Apparently the blood is too close so it can create kids with deformaties. However, that's how I'm raised. Others seem to be OK with it.
One of the biggest reasons it’s not common is the chance of birth defects. But... they’re both guys so...
It is?! I never knew wow
Omfg I just choked on coffee hahaha totally overlooked that hahaha haha!!! Point made (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
You have a point lmfao
I know a turkish woman, she told me her husband is her cousin. When they fell in love and decided to marry, they had to go through blood testing. To check if their DNA had enough differences, for them to "safely" have children. I guess relationships between cousins could be accepted, depending of where you are.
Oh wow that's actually really interesting!
I'm from Malaysia. Instead of saying community I guess it's best to say how this is commonly practiced by those from older generations like idk they just live by that practice despite modernization. Oh and it's usually among distant cousins but still cousins tho lol.
Biological term would be inbreeding. There won't be diversity in genes as we constantly share it with ppl related to us. When there's a birth defect, it'll get passed down from generation to generation due to stagnation in gene pool. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, I just typed from what I studied for my exam
In Brazil we dont see a problem if u kiss or marry a cousin. I see my cousin as a sister so for me its okay if u feel disgusted.
my mum and my dad are cousins
Do cousins usually...get together like that? No right? Or am I just not open-minded enough? I'm genuinely curious lmao
