Best Answer

The reason many people are opposed to marriage between first, second or third cousins is that parents who are themselves closely related are more likely than others to have a child in whom two recessive genes come together to produce a genetic disease such as hemophilia However, in many places and cultures, marriages of even first cousins have not been forbidden, and even now marriages between second or third cousins are permitted in many areas.
