Marrying your cousins???

[khorshid]

Hello guys.
I'm really confused!! first, I think I can't understand this topic,
in my country(Iran) people can marry with their cousin and this happen.
We are moslem and in our religion can marry with our cousin.
In Iran this kind of marriage was more in past,but now it become less.now people know rate of Genetic disease will be increased with this kind of marriage!
but still someone may love his/her cousin and want to marry his/her, so after some Genetic exams(they are recommanded.)they can be wife and husband.

You're serious?

[khorshid]

but I said, there is a big problem about genetic disorders.and now this kind of marriage is limited.

This is different than Chinese people then. I've heard they can't marry uncle's children from their father's side. I'm not quite sure with this fact though...
