This is obviously very normal in somali culture and I know people back home still do this but how often have you seen this happen in western countries.
I have only seen this once here couple of weeks ago and I thought it to be very weird .And it didn't help that the groom looked very very similar to the brides brother can you see yourself marrying any of your first cousins?

if you are scared if you're daughter brings home a Somali Boy from a clan you do not like wed her to her cousin or second cousin best solution and introduce them to each other

can you see yourself marrying any of your cousins?

Yes. Nothing wrong with it; science has proven there's negligible (something like 0.02%) difference between cousin and non-cousin marriages.

Nothing like sticking your penis down the tight pussyhole of your blood cousin.


Did that disgust you? Well know you know how I feel about cousin marriages.

Next time I see cousins getting hitched I will probably be wondering if this was the reason.

lol..but that does more harm than good believe me... once there is a problem in the relationship ..the family would be divided..

This is news to me. Somali nomads have known for a long time the deleterious effects of marriages among close relatives.

^ well I don't know about the nomadic part but I know several family members from older generation who did that.

Marriage within family is incest and I dont do incest.

Maandeeq, then it must be recent phenomenon spurred by the traumas of the civil war. People may want avoid future family problems due to clan differences. But that is shunned upon by traditional somalis. Somalis have known for a long time that marrying close relatives increases chances of inhereting genetic disorders. If you marry close relative, you reduce the genetic diversity in the gene pool of your children which will increase the chances of them inhereting a genetic disorder.

not at all Maandeeq i have couple of Family members who married their First and second cousins its just fine hardly any problem

Looool@ Blackvelvet

I know a lot of Somali's from way before civil war who do cousin marriages. It's very normal in Somali culture.

True.

In the west hardly ever do I hear anything of that sort, Back home waa iska caadi they like to keep it in the family.

How about three siblings marrying another three siblings that are their first cousins and the fourth in the way. Walahi something I cant register and I have seen it but to each their own.
