Bible Question:
I was reading through the Old Testament and I was wondering what the Bible says about first cousin marriages today? Is God against it, does He condemn it and what is the biblical evidence? I was reading through Leviticus 18, which doesn't really mention it. |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Lev 18:6-18 (vs 14) ... pal02, greetings. This section deals with sexual relations of close relatives. While, it prohibits sex with your aunt, the Bible doesn't do so for a cousin. However, I have heard because of something to do with the blood, medical people say it is not wise. Plus, there are laws that prohibit it. Hope this helps, Searcher |
