    Marrying a second cousin?
    Now days I'm very disturbed kindly help me out pleeeez
    . My problem is that I'm engaged with my second cousin. Nw the issue is that few members from both side of families are saying that this marriage is a risk. As my parents are cousins, n my fiancˇ's parents are cousins and these four are the kids of four sisters. My both grandmothers, and my fiancˇ's both grandmothers were four sisters.
    Then on the other side my both grandfathers were cousin, n my fianc?(C)?s both grandfathers were brothers.

    And in our family there are already 6,7 cases of defects children due to this cousin marriage including my brother too.
    My brother n two cousins are suffering from the retina pegmentosa, then my two more cousins children are also suffering from this same problem.

    And 2 cases of abnormal children are also in our family

    So kindly tell me is this marriage will be a risk? The problem is nw we both are so much involved in each other that we don?t want to finish this relation.

    Or is there any medicine or some other solution?

    I will be very thankful to kindly help me out.

    Ordinarily a second cousin should be fine, but there is a history of too many first cousins having children in your family. You don't say what's wrong with the children you say are 'abnormal' other than retina pigmentosis. If you and your second cousin are so much in love, why don't you accept the fact that you shouldn't have children of your own, and adopt a few of the million of the world's orphans?
