However, if a non-Israelite as Ruth converted to the Lord, marriage was permissible. The following regulations can be gleaned from this section. A man could not marry his mother Lev.

Nor could he marry his granddaughter second degree of consanguinity, Lev. In the time of Adam and Eve, such close unions were perfectly safe genetically, even though later the accumulation of genetic mutations over many generations would make them sufficiently dangerous so that actual legal prohibitions against incest Leviticus Nothing, of course, is mentioned about 4th and 5th cousins which would not be considered a close relative.
The scientific reason for this restriction is that children of such marriages are more likely to be deformed or sickly or moronic than those of other marriages. The genetic basis for this probability is that inherited mutant genes, producing such unwholesome characteristics, are more likely to find expression in the children if they are carried by both parents.
And how do you know the documentary was wrong? Yeah, some inbreeding may cause those effects but cousin to cousin may not. Especially fourth cousins and that's what the question was about anyways. Once again I was not commenting on what you wrote I was commenting on what the person above wrote. History and strings of biological findings say the documentry is wrong, I used to study that along with geneoligy, get a clue!
Is it ok to date a fourth cousin?
You have too many of the same chromosomes when you 'breed' with a relative causing weak links in the genes, scientific fact! Once again I answered your question, but I also can't stand when people make unfounded idiotic claims and present them as fact! Lol, you can agree with whatever you want, doesn't make it factually correct. You want to remain ignorant that's your beef not mine hun.
McRoo, I don't know where your getting your information from, but my mom is a genetic counselor and I know a lot about this sort of thing. The only reason that inbreeding "causes" abnormalities is if the genetic disorder already exists within the family, and even if they already exists, a fourth cousin is such a far relation that it lessens the chances of passing it on dramatically.
And another thing, you can't just claim the documentary is wrong without having seen it first.

Maybe it does have some misinformation, but there is no way of knowing that unless you have seen it. Different scientists will come to different conclusions, but it is a fact that my mom has had many different patients that were third, second, and even first cousins, whose children turned out fine.
I'm not saying that it always turns out fine but the chances of it are much lower then you make it sound. I don't get why all the girls are so grossed out about dating your 4th cousin.

Its such a distant relation that it really shouldn't matter. And for all of the people who think that having kids with a cousin will create crazy deformed mutants, its not true. The reason that this myth started is that its more likely for two people who are related to have the same recessive gene for a disorder. However, genetic disorders that turn people into crazy deformed mutants are rare and if you do not have a recessive gene for the trait then you cannot give it to your kids.
It is true that inbreeding over a long period of time greatly increases the risk of genetic disorders. That's why families that have repeatedly married their first cousins and siblings over many generations are prone to genetic disorders. So, even if you decide to have kids with your fourth cousin, it is highly unlikely that they would turn out abnormal. And that's my genetic lecture for the day!
Should I date my 4th cousin?
IDK man you obviously have some reservations about it or else you wouldn't be on here asking. Personally, the idea makes my skin crawl, but if you think you'll be ok with dippin in the family lineage, that's your perogative. I will tell you though, I don't think I could ever look at some one in a normal way if they told me they got it on with a cousin, 3rd 4th or other wise Uh I don't even understand this 1st, 2nd, 4th and 3rd cousin crap! U should date her no matter wat Kristyp did you ever take a biology class, you know what happens when you inbreed?! God I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Why don't we just go back to the old english days where royalty married their first and second cousins to keep the lineage strong! I did read the update, we were commenting on KristyP's response to thinking that it was ok to shack up with "any"cousin and that it doesn't matter. Dude it doesn't matter if you want to have babies with this chick or not a cousin is still a cousin is still a cousin doesn't really matter if there's a 1st or a 4th attached in front of it.
OH and btw KirstyP wrote Read the update and think again! Yeah, im having the same problem. I don't know if its okay to date my 4th cousin. We didn't grow up together.
