51. "my bff married her second or third cousin twice removed" In response to In response to 0 Mon Jul-20-15 09:03 AM by NikaMandela
been knowing him since they were kids on some family shit.
she introduced him to me as her cousin and a few months later it was like, "we're in love."
their family was against it but came around. they did research on how their babies would come out and all was well.
now they got a cute little baby boy that everybody loves.
i dont think its a big deal. culturally we are hung up on it but i'm not so sure there are biological concerns other than the fact that offspring who come from wildly diverse genes tend to fare better. they miss out on that but that's it.
she aint shamed. they're normal as far as I'm concerned.
