Is a relationship between cousins considered incest?
In my culture, cousins can get married, they are not like siblings, and they are not close like siblings, my grandparents are cousins, i said that to someone on the internet, and they said that it's disgusting, i don't really understand, it's okay for one billion and half of the world population, but not for the rest it's not, I think it's a relative concept among people; cousins are viewed differently due to cultural differences, so you shouldn't think it's disgusting, I believe . I mean you see your cousin as your brother but i don't even remember my cousins names , i meet them at weddings , they have a sick mindset so i don't like them,but if someone from my culture saw his cousin this way , it's not wrong
Marry whomever you want! If it is legal to be married then go for it if that is what you want. Marrying a blood related person could result in disabilities etc. from passing down gene mutations etc. so be wary of your choices.

My parents are also distant cousins
In my culture it was common to marry your maternal uncle's daughter (not his son)
And paternal aunt's son(because they are different family and have different surname)
In my country cousin marrying each other was also very common and is still practiced in some places
But this practice is considered wierd now due...... 2 reply
That is downright vile and disgusting. No culture can ever justify fucking your cousins. And even from a biological perspective, reproducing with family increases the likelihood of developing abnormalities such as birth defects and genetic disorders. You could go for anyone but you choose your family 1 reply
Have you seen the Hapsburgs? I feel no desire whatsoever to partake in whatever the fuck that was. It seems like in your culture you have a lot of cousins so you feel more disconnected from them so maybe morally its different from other parts of the world but morals mean nothing to me compared to biology. NOTHING biologically good comes from inbree...... 1 reply
it's incest because they are close in their family but it doesnt make it disgusting, what matters is, like in every other relationship, if they are adults, consenting, and in a healthy and sane relationship reply
