It depends on your tradition, if your tradition allows that, go ahead and marry her but if it doesn't, don't try it to avoid had i know.

werepeLeri: It doesnt matter. You can even marry your sister so long you are in love with her.

Is it Legal to sleep with your cousin you mean. Don't worry, after the first round, the veil in your eyes will open and you will hate her more than anything for tempting you into the taboo.

All Arab countries in the Persian Gulf currently require advance genetic screening for all prospective married couples. Qatar was the last Persian Gulf nation to institute mandatory screening in 2009, mainly to warn related couples who are planning marriage about any genetic risks they may face. The current rate of cousin marriage there is 54%, an increase of 12–18% over the previous generation.[90] A report by the Dubai-based Centre for Arab Genomic Studies (CAGS) in September 2009 found that Arabs have one of the world's highest rates of genetic disorders, nearly two-thirds of which are linked to consanguinity. Research from CAGS and others suggests consanguinity is declining in Lebanon and Egypt and among Palestinians, but is increasing in Morocco, Mauritania and Sudan.[14]

[b][/b]Guy, unless you want make you and your wife begin hangout for AIT, NTA and roadside dey beg for support, you better tighten that nut wey don lose for ya head because i no go give una shishi. A word, they say, is enough for the wise.

From the comment of this OP i can only arrive at 2 conclusions.

1. he is looking for attention

2. He has gone mad (His senses has been used for ritual)

greatgod2012: @op, i dont think there is a law in our country that forbid it but, the Law of God forbids it, its in the bible, as well as the quoran, that, such act is an abominable one, and i think the law of God should be above any other laws, so, dont do it, there are so many other ladies out there that you can marry, i take God beg you, the repercussion may not be immediate, but definately, something unpalatable will come out of it in the future, which may not be easily bearable to you, redirect that love to the right type of love that is suppose to be btwn both of you and set each other free from the bondage you both are. At first, it may be hard, but, if you sincerely wish, you can both brake the yoke, the first step to take is to move and live far away from each other for a very long time.
May God help you.

Its just an earthly rule sortta. Me can't marry my cousin sha but if she loosegaurd near me! Hmm! Newton's third law of motion allows me to raise her skirt, spread her legs and collect my one pa! But marry? mm mm Mba nu

it is legal for u to marry ur cousin,since u're not from d same parent nd Islamically family marriage is alowed

You are right, but that should read 'Prohibited Degrees of Affinity and Consanguinity'.

Under the Nigerian Marriage Act, such a marriage being considered by the OP would be void.

In fact I feel very lucky to have found this thread on the issue of intimate filial relationship. You said the Bible prohibits such and there were instances where this thrived even in the Bible:

Abraham married Sarah his sister (Genesis 20:12).

Othniel wifed his cousin Achsah (Joshua 15:16,17). And all these were seen as no abomination. Plz, I want you to comment on this view.

[b]Leviticus 18:6-17 (NIV)

6⁠ " 'No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD. 7⁠ " 'Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her. 8⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with your father's wife; that would dishonor your father. 9⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere. 10⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter; that would dishonor you. 11⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father's wife, born to your father; she is your sister. 12⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with your father's sister; she is your father's close relative. 13⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with your mother's sister, because she is your mother's close relative. 14⁠ " 'Do not dishonor your father's brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations; she is your aunt. 15⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife; do not have relations with her. 16⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with your brother's wife; that would dishonor your brother. 17⁠ " 'Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sexual relations with either her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter; they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.[/b]


Salute! @carr96

Me i don't support one marrying his/her cousin o!....as in it's somehow creepy, it dos'nt just feel right...if i were a parent of any of the people involved, i won't allow it. to me, it's almost like marrying your sister/brother .
