Dear LIB readers, can I date my third cousin?

From a female LIB reader...
"Is it OK to date my third cousin? I fell for him before I even knew we were somewhat related. But it's too late and the feelings is mutual. I have been intimate with him but no sex yet. I can't get over him. Is there anything wrong in dating my third cousin?
Which one is third cousin again? Well, I watch Telemundo and cousins sleep with each other. But then again, those people are not well...lol. What do you guys think?

    1. A third cousin are ppl whose grandparents were 1st cousin. That means their great grand parents were siblings. I don't know if that's far removed enough to be acceptable.

  26. Well your third cousins would mean that your grand parents are cousins so your parents are second cousins and you guys are third cousins in other words your great grandparents where siblings. I still think its a bit awkward cause theres still somewhat of the same blood flowing through you guys, not wrong but awkward, I wont do it though

  27. Somethings are not meant to be even tho u met without knowing. It's just wrong, cos it won't work at the long run.

  68. Third cousins are those who share same great great grand pa or grandma I.e grandpa or ma by the third degree however high so everm which can be either from the maternal or paternal side. Its not a big deal in some cultures and in Islam one is allowed to marry even first cousins.

My mum's elder brother and wife are distant cousins. But if the family is really close knitted I don't think they can o! I am already feeling dizzy sef trying to explain.

  127. It depends on how serious these kind of things are viewed in your family's tradition. I advise you dig deep as some blood ties could be disastrous for generations to come no matter how distant. Some muslims are allowed to marry their cousins.
