I have not seen so many things in real life because I have not traveled the whole world, but I have seen movies where people get married to their cousins or make love to their close relatives. Does this even make any sense?
I know God sees that things like this may be happening in this world but what has he said about it? Yes, it is in the Bible and I will share with you all now.
In Leviticus 18:6, we have been warned by God not to seduce or fornicate with our family members. It says,
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD
This is a warning. As we all know, the Bible has been written so many years ago which means that God knows things like this are likely to happen in future and that’s why we have been warned against such happening.
Let’s talk logically now. Does it even make sense to have any romantic relationship with your relative? No! It does not make any sense. I don’t know where and how this is being done but it is a bad act that needs to be stopped. Let’s continue the Bible scripture in Leviticus 18:7 which says,
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness ofvthe mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
If someone is your father, never try to see their nakedness in any romantic form nor your mother. If this is done, it is one of the grevious sins in the Bible. Let’s avoid this. We can stay totally away from situations like this.
Let’s follow the will of God and what he says. We can make the world a better place again.
it is illegal in Nigeria to have anything to do with your cousin but legal in countries like Pakistan to marry your cousin
Pakistan is an islamic country. It's allowed in Islam to marry your cousin.
You cannot marry:
Your mother
Your daughters
Your sisters
Your paternal aunts
Your maternal aunts
Your brother's daughters (nieces)
Your sister's daughters (nieces)
Your foster mother (the woman who breastfed you)
Your foster sister (a girl breastfed by the same woman as you)
Your mother-in-law
Your stepdaughter (if you consummated the marriage with her mother)
Your son's wife (daughter-in-law)
Two sisters at the same time (but you can marry one if the other passes away or the marriage ends in divorce)
The Quran also forbids marriage to women already married (unless they are widowed or divorced and free from their previous marriage obligations).
thanks for the info... I relate with some Pakistanis, that was how I got to know about the cousins stuff...
I am engaged with my cousin as well.
really?🙂 so we should expect couple pix soon
Most Pakistani women don't show faces on social media. I have 3 sisters and 1 mother in my family as females. Have u ever seen their photos? I doubt that!
This issue is quite subjective. Most countries such is forbidden while in some countries it is part of their culture. Sarah was Abraham's half sister. However, I am sure that the practice is way primitive and is being forbidden as civilization unfolds. If the Bible condemns it, it should not be practiced by Christians
It’s forbidden here too
