shibole Posted November 9, 2007 at 05:39 AM Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 at 05:39 AM Here's an interesting claim: "We are all cousins. No two people are more distantly related than 50th cousins." If we're all cousins then I'm pretty sure that I've married my 50th cousin because she doesn't look anything like me. Oh no! It's incest! My wife says that in old china only "type 1" cousins couldn't get married. She believes that right now in mainland China it's actually illegal to marry your 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd cousins because everyone can have only one child and the government wants to ensure a lower rate of birth defects or something.

I can guarantee you that marriage between sisters is illegal in Belgium. We're progressive, but not THAT progressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
