third cousin?

Answer 7

First, he is your third cousin because you count from your parents forward. Next, if you like him, a lot will depend upon your upon your religious views. Leviticus chapters 18 and 20 in the Hebrew Bible states whom we are allowed to mate with and whom we are not allowed to. It does not bar cousins, but does excluded all close relatives!

Also, many states and countries have differing laws. Some more restrictive than others. NC, in the USA, for example, bars double cousins from having a relationship but allows first cousins to marry if they are not double kin. This in contrast is your third cousin.

Also, society as a general rule discourages relations with known relatives, and this varies from region to region. What may seem normal in California may be seen as distasteful in Kansas.

Ultimately, you will need to discuss this with your relatives and get their views and measure it against the standards in your community. Fortunately, this is considered a distant cousin.

Hope this helps clear things up some.
