salam brothers and sisters.
i've been wondering for a long time, why do some muslims marry their cousin on purpose?

our prophet (pbuh) said that most close person (in blood) that you can marry with is your cousin. but that's just a borderline, it doesn't mean it's a muslimish way to marry a cousin. actually it's not good for the children you may have if there's a blood connection between the parents.
 
It is perfectly halal to marry your first cousin. The Prophets daughter, Fatima, married Ali, who was the Prophets first cousin.
 
salam :)
i know it is Halal, i said it myself. but at some places it is more preferable to marry their cousin than someone else , like a tradition.
why did they make it a tradition?
 
Oh okay. It wasn't very clear what you meant. Yes, I find it strange that some people tend to put such an emphasis on marriage to cousins.

maybe its a 'keeping it in the family'/already knowing the person kinda thing....
 
some people actually want to marry their cousins 0.o'

I think most people just want to make sure their daughter/son goes to someone who they know and trust..plus they can make their rlshp with their bro/sis stronger.

I dunnoo y, i jus think marrying ur cuz is soo..wrong
i mean your mum/dad their dad/mum are BLOOD SISTERS/BROTHERS.
 
At this momemt of time, i would marry a cousin if i had one, may be because iw ould know how that person is like.
And that your inlaws are going to be your auntie or uncle, and they will have love for you.
 
i dont think its a problem marryin a cousin, but like what happens most of the times is that the whole family is involved in the marriage if you get what i mean, like you dont have privacy in your married life, the whole family is involved and if the marriage dont work out, the people stay together just for the sake of the family aswell, so like i dunno it depends on how tight and close you are to your cousins and stuff
 
:sl:
It might also feel weird married to a person you use to play with if you know what I mean but it's on your opinion and the cousins personaility if thats right then get your parents approval along with the cousins approval and inshAllah you guys can get married Ameen.

shame the media is not as worried about the incest potential of promouscuity ...ie. unknown fathers etc...i'd rather marry a cousin knowingly than an unknown father product who could end up being closer a relative!

yea... n the abnormal and harmful effects of men marrying men and women marrying women.
 
:sl:

there is nothing wrong with marrying your cousin, it is from islam but then again there is nothing wrong with marrying someone who is not your cousin which some cultural muslims seem to have forgotten.

too many times i have known of problems where someone has had huge difficulties because they want to marry someone practicing who is not from their family, it is just crazy the jahil crap their parents do to blackmail them into going along with their traditions.

i wonder ...the ones who started this tradition, were they consciusly aware of keeping their genes 'pure' :D:uuh:or is that just a side effect of wanting the family to stay together?
 
in ancient egyptian times, when pharoahs and their wives were thought to be gods (stakfirulah) they used to marry their brothers and sisters...to keep the godliness in the family.

And its not jus muslims...ma non muslim friends have aunts n uncles who r cousins.
 
I live in an area where incest is a problem and have seen the results of multiple generational incestous relationships. The mental and physical deformaties are awful. I would not marry a cousin myself too me it just seems wrong. While I think that in a family with no recent history of cousin marriages that their would be minimal or no effect on the children born. It from a genetic standpoint is not a good thing to keep doing generation after generation. I would prefer it I was single to marry someone not related to me.
 
^Agreed.

Besides, I know many couples who are cousins and otherwise have no history of extensive cousin-marriage in the family and none of their children have any genetic disorder.
