That explains a lot!

The dateline a couple weeks ago was about a car dealer in Baton Rouge. He was from Iran and married his first cousin. He brought it all the way up to the Supreme Court that she shouldn’t get anything since LA doesn’t recognize 1st cousins ability to marry.

He lost the case and murdered her

This is why it's important to know the difference between your second cousin and first cousin, once removed. Most folks think, incorrectly, the latter is the former.

Do you know anyone who are either married to their cousin

When I was 13 I had the feels for a first cousin who was a blond and a knockout. Oh, well…….

---

I was about 13 or 14 when a similar situation happened. The feeling only lasted for about 2 minutes because I had to ask who she was.

I came home from a short trip with a friend's family. I walked down the hallway to my bedroom, opened my door, and saw a beautiful 15 year old blonde laying on my bed playing Nintendo. She turned to me, smiled, and said hello....and knew my name! I thought she was a gift from God. I smiled, shut the door, and found my grandmother to ask who this girl was. She understood, smiled, and simply said, "She's your cousin Cheryl. Don't get too excited."

I then suddenly remembered having a cousin Cheryl and joined her in a game of Nintendo.

Damn....

I mean, I know we all laugh about it but scientifically there is negligible risk from cousin marriage and it was the norm in most of the world for most of human existence.

Everyone was related somehow

Second cousin is the child of your parent's first cousin, ie you both share a great grandparent.

First cousin, once removed is the child of your first cousin.
