Marriage between paternal cousins
Hi, so i and my paternal cousin want to get married (not a taboo in our community) and on discussion with the family they raised concerns that the offspring might be born with genetic disorder. I wanted to know how common it is, and if it is reason enough to avoid this relationship?
