Hi guys, Pls, do you think I'm related to this girl?

She is a daughter to my Aunty's husband's brother. This my aunty in question is a half-sister to my father.

Are we related?

Thanks for you advice.

So Nairaland is now your official family-tree researcher abi? Well I hope someone helps you untangle this cos it's a bit too complicated even for me .

I think you need to study a topic called "Family Tree and Extended Family relationships"
Cause I can't understand what you're pointing out. . .
Are you saying the girl you're trying to marry is probably your lost half-sister?

Still trying to get the upsight, 'll check back.

You're related by virtue of your aunty's marriage to her father's brother. That is all. In that sense you are not directly related to her.
I would tell you to go for it because it's not so dicey, but proceed with caution. Nigerians nitpick on things like this.

Ok, let me put it this way;

My father's half sister who is my aunt got married.
Her husband's niece is whom I'm talking about.

or better still, can you marry from your in-laws' family?

In that case, you shouldn't marry your Uncle's niece. . .
I think it's absurd marrying from your in-laws family.
Go look for someone else completely unrelated to you for a wife.

lol, that was a typo error. Meant to be 'half-sister to my father'

lonelydude, u want 2 keep it in the family huh ?

You guys are not blood related. But its very weird. Move outside the family circle.

I don't see it as weird myself. She's not your blood relative. She's your aunty's husband's relative. If she was your relative, your aunty would not have been able to marry from that family either.

Personally I see nothing wrong with it, unless it's against some rule in your culture. I've know in-laws to marry in Nigeria. In fact two sisters married two brothers (one sister met the groom's brother at her sisters wedding and it started from there) and apart from a few jokes at the second wedding, no one said anything.

Some tribe allow it so ask ur father.

Go ahead and marry her if u like. There is nothing wrong in dat. Since she is not ur blood relative.

Did any body in your family married from the in laws? If yes, follow soot, you are not the first. But if you are the first, bros, better look else where.

if you have to explain too much, then why do people like this kind of wahala.

na you sabi sha.


too much inbreeding going on as it is.

@Poster, Seriously, I think this sounds like a cousin.

Is it against any of your laws/traditions?

U re clean on this case my brother go ahead with her, am right behind u.
