There is a guy at work (muslim) apparently he is going to have an arranged marriage to his mum's sister's daughter...
I feel this is wrong both on account of it being arranged and to a family member, but I'm told this is not illegal. Is this correct?
Does anyone else not think this is kinda wrong?

Sam, you'd pull your own mother then come on here complaining about what a bitch she was to you afterwards

Yeah, most of them are inbreds though, that's why they're so fcuking ugly.

A lot of people who have arranged marriages are related to the person they are due to marry some how.
I personally think it's wrong, but if there happy to go along with it then who are we to judge.

It's only illegal because of the genetic problems.
And frowned upon by our society today.
If they are distant enough for gene disorders not to be a problem it doesn't really matter.
We wouldn't be here without some inbreeding.
There weren't enough humans in the world.
