What would you do if you discover you're about to marry your third cousin? Go ahead with your plans or put a full stop? |

I believe in up holding tradition,so from the part i come from you aren't suppose to get married to your third cousin's expect it get to the fifth,so i would forget about getting married to my thrid cousin. |

@Poster, Nigerians don't ask this type of question. We have laws,tradition and taboos. And this, is definitely a taboo. Cousin,distant cousin - they're all the same. Don't neglect tradition. Its who we are. |

Marrying ur third cousin? I depends on your religion & what part of the country you come from. |

It does not depend on religion, its abomination  1 Like |

I don't think there is anything wrong with marrying your cousin though I would not do it. I just will not judge anyone who does it. There is so much more in life to bitch about |

| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by Ndipe(m): 12:34am On Nov 15, 2009 |
Is it an abomination to marry your fourth cousin? I know that first and second are definitely frowned upon in most societies, but I'd like to know if that is also outlawed in the society. |
| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by Fhemmmy: 2:09am On Nov 15, 2009 |
Ndipe: i will like to know more too |

Outstrip: Are you joking? Please don't tell me you're "open-minded". Poster, get a grip! |
| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by coolier(f): 10:11pm On Nov 15, 2009 |
If we bumped into each other in a far away place from home and neither of us knew we were third cousins. |
| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by Fhemmmy: 12:42am On Nov 16, 2009 |
agathamari: Thanks for that explanation, that was beautifully put. I think the 3rd Cousin thing is kinda far jare, but chances are, i wont marry such sha . . . . but chances are it do happen, take someone like me that hardly get together with family stuff, cos i am not around them and i dont really have time, how do i know that a lady i dated wasn't 3rd or 4th cousin, but will just make sure it was not done intentionally. |
| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by Radiant(f): 12:55am On Nov 16, 2009 |
Femi, the poster knows otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it. Why would anyone marry from their lineage? I mean, known relatives. |
| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by Fhemmmy: 2:36am On Nov 16, 2009 |
Radiant: I feel u. Like u said, when it is known. |
| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by semasir: 6:25am On Jul 28, 2014 |
Posting this does not necessarily mean the poster is practising but need to know more or enlighten others too. agathamari: not just nigeria. like 90% of the worlds cultures see this as taboo |
| Re: Can You Marry Your Third Cousin? by semasir: 6:26am On Jul 28, 2014 |
you said it all. Thanks Radiant: Femi, the poster knows otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it. Why would anyone marry from their lineage? I mean, known relatives. |
