Marrying your cousin is shameful - Page 7

It's actually quite simple. You guys are complicating the hell out of it. The rules (<font color="#ff0000">by the way, I didn't make them up so don't flame me; it's just my understanding of the process in place</font>) state that the male genes are dominant and the female genes are subservient.

Its funny how this would not sound implausible if it were indeed a scientific fact. After all there is so much inequality in nature.

Mister. K, I wanted to clarify another thing. I thought that female genes are more dominant than male. So if white male marries Indian female, child will have more Indian features, but Indian male marries white female, child will have more white features (read marries as copulates with).

There are also certain genes also which are more dominant. For example I think brown eyes is dominant, while green eyes is not. So if Indian male has brown eyes and white female has green eyes ' the brown eyes could win out.

Again all this is based on random things here and there, and my understanding could be incorrect.

Some clarification that!

A male child always gets his Y from the father. To the discussion on hand, that's what we are looking for. Whose Y is it, is the question. If the Y is from an outside family, it's OK. if the Y is from the same family, it's not OK.

There are two ways of looking at this issue:

Moral - If one value's a relation, but one day changes the relation to something very different then the value of the original relation has degraded. Something like one day two persons are brothers and sisters and next day they become husband and wife.

However, the value of the relation "cousin" is not the same as "brother-sister" and it varies from society to society. In some countries, near middle east, I have seen guys hitting on girls by saying "hey cousin please listen" 😆.

Technical - If we talk about genetics then who gets ashamed due to some inefficiencies? May be scientists.

Usually, morality and technicality start from 2 different ends, but they do meet somewhere in between.

Its funny how Tyra (from the Tyra Show) had a couple on her show who were first cousins & married!

And they were white people....so it does happen in a lot of places/cultures/etc.

In their situation, they never grew up together & didnt mean till they were older, so they never had the brother-sister or cousin relationship.
