There are no restriction by law. Cousins can get married ---

> [@2smrt4u](#): > > I think it’s possible and why wouldn’t it be ? it’s not forbidden or whatever !! because here in italy if it comes that there is a link (ex. your are cousins) you cannot marry and it’s also dangerous to have children…for their health ---

It’s not illegal in Italy to marry your cousin. The United States is the only Western country with cousin marriages restrictions. No European country has a law against that. ---

The health argument is a weak one. There are now studies that prove that marriage between cousins is no more detrimental to their offspring than a mother who has children after age 40. There is a slightly higher risk for genetic abnormalities in children born to older mothers because of aging eggs, and also a slightly higher risk for the offspring of cousins (due to lack of variation in the gene pool). But it’s slight! A very small risk. And because older mothers have no social stigma for taking this risk, married cousins should have none either. ---

Anyway, the risk for cousin’s couple is higher than in case of a couple who is not related at all, so why risk our children’s health? ---

oh yeah…that’s what i was thinking about…plus all people i met from morocco not all have married between cousins…so this fact made me wonder a lot “why they did so?” i’m not talking about feelings but…well maybe if he/she is one of your relatives this should make you think a little more about marrying ---

I know a story of cousins who were really in love for years before they got married and they have 2 children, the girl is just perfect: healthy and clever, but the boy is autistic and now, being aware of the danger they decided not to have more children ---

i don’t know for sure,but maybe it depends upon how closer they are as cousins? ---

Of course you can and that’s why I’m wondering why make the risk higher than normal on purpose and being totally conscious of it? ---

Alhamdulillah. Good for them, but if something is not haram it doesn’t mean that we should do it as we wish, without thinking. There are many things that are not haram, but we should avoid them, if we can, like divorce for exemple.
