ZUBY77: OP let me give you small advice. This love two of you have now will eventually fade and when it does, you will recall how it all started. Nobody will ever be by your side then because almost everybody you know will object to this union. Therefore, forget about that fake love nomatter how hard.

[size=18pt]marrying your cousin is neither a crime nor is it frown upon in nigeria especially in the north which makes up a huge part of our poplation. It is known as awure zumta and it is even an encoraged practice especially in rich families since it helps to keep wealth and loyalty in the family.infact The late dantata was know to have told his children to marry from their close family.i am a millionaire today because i married my cousin and shared in her family wealth After her father was deceased. I am related to 3 out of my four wives and i am they all behave like sisters since they grew up roughly together.[/size] 1 Like |

I can only assume d op is a xtian as it is permissible in islam. However, there's no law in dis land wic says u can't marry ur cousin. Besides, u won't be d first xtian to marry his cousin, be it in Nigeria or elsewhere. |

It's unethical, sick to marry your own cousin. Even medically, it has been discovered that relatives that marry are more like to have deformed children. Check out India. Read the article in the Times years back and saw pictures of the aftermath of such. Relationships. Don't say you can't leave her. Who you marry is a choice. The ones that I know that married like this have a child that looks funny and are separated today. They performed some rituals. That enabled them to marry. |

It is illegal and therefore prohibited in nigeria because "a cousin" falls within a prohibited degree of consanguinity(blood relatedness). Its stated in the Marriage Act |

greatgod2012: @op, i dont think there is a law in our country that forbid it but, the Law of God forbids it, its in the bible, as well as the quoran, that, such act is an abominable one, and i think the law of God should be above any other laws, so, dont do it, there are so many other ladies out there that you can marry, i take God beg you, the repercussion may not be immediate, but definately, something unpalatable will come out of it in the future, which may not be easily bearable to you, redirect that love to the right type of love that is suppose to be btwn both of you and set each other free from the bondage you both are. At first, it may be hard, but, if you sincerely wish, you can both brake the yoke, the first step to take is to move and live far away from each other for a very long time.did u say the law of God? Adam and Eve were created by God hw did they multiply? |

So, why worrying yourself? Don't be what people want you to be, be what you wanted to be bro. Your feelings matter alot in everything you do. I wish you people happy married life in advance@Ops |
