Am British and that's legal here.
In fact, my cousin married his cousin.
Yeah, we thought that was weird.

I don't really care about cousins of age, what bothers me is that the states in red in the map above me are pushing for child marriage.

I'll never understand how Florida is a real place. All the craziest shit goes on there, and I'm glad I live in WA state, as far away from that shit as possible.

In India it's common for an uncle to marry his niece
Uncle and niece share 1/4 DNA
Cousins share 1/8

Crazy how much time and money they put into reworking him, marketing him with Kenny Omega, and making him feel good to play for once, just to turn around and commit character assassination in his story.
Also this SF6 patch killed the game's performance for me, when before it was one of the best-optimized AAA games of the last five years.
It's a looooot more than just UK.
Also, not so funfact, 70% of marriages in Pakistan are cousin marriages.
my great great grandparents were first cousins one was from north sicily and the other southern italy they emmegrated to the us in the early 1900s and got married as a result for 4 generations in my family we had a genietic defect that caused muscular dystrophy one boy out of every generation got it and the girls were carriers my moms generation was the last to have it thank fully me and my brothers were in the clear none of us got it this is why first cousin marriage should not be allowed because the genetics are just to close to not cause defects
