Legally, third cousins can marry in the US. I believe. Incestuous relationships happen all the time, they used to be even more frequent. Anyone who's any relation to any royal family of Europe from 1900 and before probably has incestuous blood in them. It was a way of keeping the royal blood pure, not some sick fantasy that is "wrong." [/B][/QUOTE]
this is true. legally 3rd cousins can get married and do whatever else they want with each other. and you are also correct about the royal family in europe. in my opinion, you can't help who you love. you're not supposed to. also... the heart wants what the heart wants. but yeah anyways.... thanks everyone for your input. i didn't realize what such a good topic this was.
