Similar Stories to Ask Amy: Teen Girl Fears Legitimacy Of Cousin-loving on Bing News

Dear Amy: I am a 16-year-old girl in high school. I met a guy through a church event six months ago. We started talking, and then a month later he came to my house to hang out during the weekend. His uncle was with him when he came over, and met my mom. I started dating the guy, and my mom started dating my boyfriend’s uncle! Now my mom is going to marry his uncle, a person she’s only known for four months. I plan on being with my boyfriend and marrying him; I truly love him. Since my mom is marrying his uncle that would make my boyfriend and me cousins by marriage. It is not legal where I live to marry my cousin. What should I do? — Confused Almost-Cousin Dear Confused: Let’s clear this up: First of all, even though (according to a report from the Journal of Genetic Counseling) there is an extremely small genetic risk to marrying a biological cousin, various states still have somewhat antiquated laws on the books discouraging unions between first cousins.
