So in blood relatives we can call each other "uncle" and "aunt". I should call her 'aunt' and she also should call me 'uncle'.She about same age with me, and we having relationship and love each other. Of coz If i marrying with my third cousin, i think it is legal and also it's allowed in my country, but having love relationship with my parent third cousin, or like i told u before, is it ok..? u know that my aunt.About the birth defect, here i will explain more detail about the relative blood between my mother and her parent. My mom have blood relative with her Father and her Mother where, her father is my mom 3rd cousin. While her mother call my mother is aunt (her grandparent of her mother side was my mother second cousin). So i'm her mother 3rd cousin. Its a little confusing here, and i hope u guys can understand what i'm trying to tell. Is there any chance we share same genetic? If we get marry, will we get a chance to have birth defect? I'm really worried about it.So please i really need opinion from u guys about this. I really love this girl and she also love me too. I really want to marry her.Sorry for my broken English.

dioniyon is verified as being by the original poster of the questionyep, many i've heard about 3rd cousin marriage and have a healthy and normal children. But i think the couple related from one of each their parent. For example the mother of the the boy have 3rd cousin blood related to the father of the girl. In my case, my father no related with her parent but my mum's have blood relatives to both of her mother and father.
And thanks for the advise about the gene test, is it true that the test really expensive..?

hi
to avoid birth defects, both get gene tested. but i think you are only distant related. maybe people who are related as you two are (sorry, too confusing!) have gotten married and had kids before now and not even known they were related :)

 I agree with the other poster. The defects generally pertain to close relatives, such as first cousin. I haven't heard of restrictions being place on relatives as far out as you two are.

 You are both far out cousins therefore it is ok to marry her you are not in a direct blood relative line. She is a far out cousin therefore there should not be strong chances of birth defects. So therefore just be happy and enjoy your relationship and get married.
