Inbreeding

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

I personally would not marry my own cousin, but if someone wants to marry their first cousin, I won`t knock them, because our religion allows us to do so. Some people are so damn westernized that they think norms set by the western world is more correct the what our own religion dictates.

What's westernisation got to do with it? If you knew me you'd know I can't stand gaalo and western culture. I just think somalis need to practice a little less inbreeding, and if marrying your first cousin isn't inbreeding I don't know what is. The same reason the somali custom of marrying your dead brother's wife irks me.

This topic I believe has been discussed to death. If you want to marry your cousin go ahead there is nothing to stop you be it deen or somali culture. If you dont want to marry your cousin there is nothing to stop you be it deen or somali culture. Just dont tell people in the west you married your cousin becasue its wierd and primitive to their minds.

I advice Faraxs not to marry their cousins if they want to make their options open.

Listen, I probably have the most amazing cousins in the world. But they'd castrate me if this topic was ever raised. Times are changing. There's no excuse for this. If you want to get married, walk into a masjid and fill out an application. There are services.

i hears in somali culture people dont like to marry abti's daughter? it's true?

Nah its your adheers daughter.

I always thought it was anyone on your mother's side that was frowned on?

[The_Patriot]

Anything your mothers side is ok according to somalis daqan
Because mothers always like to hook up their offsprings to the kins at least she will feel more welcome.

So, mother's side is cool, father's side is frowned on?

Seems backwards, especially considering Somalis.

Fathers side is not adviced because you know incase the marriage breaks you know the consequences. its disaster and one thing you dont want to fight and have grudges with in a geljire cullture is your brother.
As united we stand , divided we fall.

Meaning, considering the cultural value and emphasis placed on paternal lineage, one would assume it would take the upper hand in the case of marriage.

I don't know how many offers I've had to marry my first cousins, it's not right. No wonder there are so many crazy somalis.

Do not marry your cousin. marry not even a girl from your clan. i think it's the best way to avoid that your future children not to suffer diseases which causes by inbreeding.

This is bullshit, my paternal grandparents were cousins and they had a pack of children and none of them suffered from any abnormal diseases.

There are many diseases which normal eye can't see forexample a mentally disorder which you cant know if the person is have it or not.
Xamud if your paternal granparents were cousin someone like you will face even The greater danger of marrying someone who come from same side of those granparents cousins. the cousin girl from same granparent and you share even more identical genes compare normal cousins who dont have granparents who were cousins. so sxb believe me your future offspring will face greater risk to all kind of deases mentally and physically. so xamud someone like you should tottaly avoid to marry close families because .
