You’re welcome.

Do you know someone who is threatening to marry their cousin?

By the way, I am having an argument with someone over the whole cousin thing.

At what point does the idea of marrying your cousin stop being disgusting.

She maintains you have to be more than six times removed.

No not that I am aware of. (There are no nearby Muslim communities!)

I think that both Einstein and Darwin married cousins, but I do not know the status of their children! Then there is Abraham and his half sister (different mothers.) There is of course the Congress-maam from Minnesota who married her brother, but that was probably "kitman" intended to defraud INS and obtain citizenship to practice jihad upon America.)

I think that the church (Catholic and most protestant) would say that anything nearer than 1st cousin is consanguineous and prohibited. But, If both cousins were older than mid sixties and unlikely to have children I do not see the problem.

My understanding was that 4th cousins were considered “kissing kin”.
