Md. lawmaker aims to ban first-cousin wedlock - Sexual health- msnbc.com

:blink::blink:I couldn't even imagine marrying any of my cousins *shudders*

I didn't realize that only 24 states prohibit first cousin marriage!!!

I also did not realize that it was still legal to marry your cousin in the UK too:blink::blink:

The law was changed by Henry Vlll so he could marry his cousins Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard and it was never changed back......

It may be legal, but it just seems so wrong on so many levels, we ain't living on Pitcairn ffs.

all my cousins on one side aren't blood relations, but it would still be wrong imo.
