a lot of ppl in the comments seem to agree with marriage with cousins, sorry but not me, I respect your opinion though but I'm super close with most of my cousins, kinda like siblings so it's a weird thought for me
Same, all us cousins are close and its just kinda gross for me. My middle sister and I apparently had 2nd or 3rd cousins that had crushes on us when we were all younger but eww no.
I'm in the same thought line when it's not story type made of pure fiction. I can sort of understand in older times this was a normal thing to have cousins marry. Us as modern age minds can't fathom to accept this as it feels like your own sibling. I grew up around my cousins hell I have an uncle only 3 months older than me ._. I see him more like a brother then an uncle no different then the rest of my cousins and actual siblings.
Why? In my tribe it's legal to married among cousins. I know its unhealthy based on DNA. But I hv several of my cousins married each other,and they seems happy.
For me it's mainly because some cousins are raised like siblings. My cousins and I were, even the ones by marriage, so I don't see them as anything but that.
It all depends on the culture, environment, and how one grows up. Some see it as normal, some can't stomach it, while there are those that are like "meh, it's life whatever". There are those that will commit to the act as strengthening the bloodline or such lines of thought. To each their own.

Yeah but it's declining rapidly in every modern environment purely because it damages your DNA rather than strengthens your bloodline. After centuries, our bloodline is already thinning so there's essentially no point. The damages to your future offspring far outweigh the benefits anyways with side effects such as
- an extremely higher chance of birth defects in offspring - less diversity within your DNA, and diversity within your DNA is essential for organism growth and survival (this leads to the birth defects thing where you're more at risk at having rare genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis and hemophilia) - it can weaken your immune system - even without birth defects or genetic diseases, it also means that you're more victimed towards health problems easily.
But I guess if you love your cousin that much, go wild. I would honestly choose the latter and opt for adoption though if I were in that position.

Oh i get that. I had a crush on one of my cousins when I was young and it was before I knew we were cousins. Though not to toot my genetic gorns but my family members all have pretty good genes (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Lol but yea im against that stuff like if you're related by blood or grew up raised as siblings its kinda ew
y'all keep forgetting that girl stole her fiance, it's time for pay back ofc but I really wish she wouldn't fall for him and not plan her stuff/speak about him lovingly in her head in front of him knowing that be can read minds
what are you supposed to do in that situation? if it was some random dude, she could easily say no but it was the crown prince which she sees as one of her kids.. I also didn't expect him to say it so early lol

I get what you mean I don’t agree with it either. But because this is fictional I don’t really care what they do
I’m against it purely because of the scientific negatives it has on your DNA lol
