I am from India,spend 15 years of my life there and NEVER ever came across a single f/s cousin couples....geez....where the heck did you get those stats manOriginally posted by BGMan
Same as with Muslim countries and India, where more than half of all marriages are between first or second cousins. It's a way of keeping the wealth in the family. You feel closer to your son-in-law if he's your nephew.
But we don't do that sort of thing in America (outside of Appalachia) or Europe. Although it's probably not as bad as, say, trying to get with another guy's wife!
