[quote=JIMMYB,340587]The 1950 marriage law didn't say that the cousins could't get married. In 1980, the marriage law in China was revised. According to this newly-revised law, "if the man and the woman are lineal relatives by blood or collateral relatives by blood up to the third degree of kinship, they are not allowed to get married." As for the reason, if they get married, their children are very likely to suffer some kind of genetic diseases. From this angle, the civil affairs bureau and the court were right. However, it is inhuman to force them apart. Their love for each other is pure. Marriage is byproduct of love. As long as they love each other, they can be together. The only problem is that the current society ethics doesn't allow this. Maybe, they need a time machine to bring them back to the ancient times. There no one would blame them.[/quote]
