Cousins Marry

Actually the last I heard is that Virginia also allows it! You would be surprised at some of the laws VA has. Like it is also a hanging offense to steal cattle!

The part that got me was "I just could not stop looking at her." Then I looked at her and was wondering what kind of crack this guy was smoking. Looking at her myself gave me the heebie-jeebies.

In Virginia, as with most states, you have to be outside of 2nd cousins if I am not mistaken. Thats what they asked a year ago at least.

I think about 25 states allow first cousins to marry.

Question: Isn't Maryland south of the mason-dixon line?

I guess I was wrong. Here is a colored coded map showing what is valid:

Wow...so Kentucky has a stricter rule on cousins marrying than Virginia does.
guess Virginians shouldn't be raggin' on them so much then...

my wife has two first cousins that got married here in KY!

All this talk about cousins marrying and I'm surprised no one brought this up yet:
It was Jeff Foxworthy that said "You might be a redneck if you go to family reunions to look for a date"
