writes:Is it legal to have sex with you cousin (Fathers Brothers daughter) in the UK? Please help. My cousin has propositioned me and I feel the same. I'm not interested in whether you think its moral or not - I'm big enough to make my own decisions on that front. But what I dont know is whether its legal?

 Yes, it is legal.
I'm sure, as you say, you can make your own decisions but for what it's worth, here's my opinion;
If you're going to do it then be sure that this is what you want. Families have been torn appart over less than this. What may be a quick fling and may seem as a bit of fun could have much wider implications. Think long and hard and be prepared to deal with the full implications of your decision.

 Well slap my arse and call me Sally..From http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_it_legal_to_marry_your_first_cousin"In the UK it is currently legal, though there's a chance this could be changed due to how common it is within certain minority communities. However, the increase in risk of birth deformities is really tiny unless the same thing happens repeatedly (i.e. you marry your cousin and then your children marry their cousins, etc): the more times it happens within the same family, the risk will probably increase, but if it's only done once, these risks are much smaller than commonly believed."
