Just last nite I was fuming to my wife about this . I stepped aside while she stood on line for a movie and watched two women in a row do this . Blue Jasmine btw good movie . I looked over at my wife as this was transpiring and saw she had her cc in hand . Good girl.

A woman in my office is married to her first cousin. Hell, they had (and still have) the same last name. She sees nothing wrong with this. Today she is raising hell that inter-racial marriages should be against the law as it reduces intelligence of the offspring and is "dumbing down this great country."

I can't fathom how you could marry a first cousin. My first cousins are like my sisters. But even if you're not that close, your parents are siblings, ffs

Actually happened in a family from the small rural town I grew up in. Did not see them for years and years then bumped into them in 2010 when I was visiting home. Their kids look wonky.

I looked it up and cousin marriages are actually felonies in 24 US states

But perfectly legal in almost all of the others, including the one in which you reside!
