Welp guess im not moving away from my apalachia homestead anytime soon.
Guess cousin lovers will have to move to Shelbyville (Finland).
A few hastily arranged weddings in June then?
Guess we’ll just keep dating and not get married.
Jeez the pro incest crowd are out in force today.
Well yea!
Good luck enforcing this on “imported engineers and doctors” population.
Just like in Britain. They had to do this as well.
Reactionary laws coping with the fact that new behaviours are reflecting population change.
*Les Cousins Dangereux*
Do people still marry their cousins? Is this a common thing?
Don’t worry Sweds, Florida recently rejected an attempt to ban cousin marriage.
Surely this was problem among the native Swedes and not the immigrant population
This needs the Elvis hit “[Kissin’ Cousins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3nbRWJN0F0)” (and that will make it alright, alright, alright, alright)
What the fuck is wrong with the world. So scared to upset people that common sense is dying.
Ban that shit. Our countries shouldn’t accept it. Go to a country that does if you want to do it.
Yet we can’t legally watch two consenting unrelated adults pretend to be step-related and have sex. Down vote all you want but fuck we the west is falling.
This is targeting certain newly arrived groups…
Now think what kinda issues it have to be for them to even worry about it lol
Muslims
lol Sweden is speedrunning sanity, it seems.
Awe, Sweden, you’re no fun. /s
Well there goes my 4th of July plans
It’s really strange that it has to be official and is not just an obvious thing that’s not ok.
I tell you, I won’t live in a town that robs men of the rights to marry their cousins!
People of Skellefteå are fuming rn
Pakistanis disappointed.
🇵🇰😒
You might think that a law banning cousins from marrying was even needed is the lowest it could go but you’d be wrong, the lowest will be when people come out to oppose this law.
lots of searches gonna pop up for grandfather clauses
So a certain kind of porn is about to blow up
*George Michael slow sad walk with his head hung*
Pakistani’s be like: 👀
Incest marriages are a travesty. I remember that one UK documentary about the children of a first cousin marriage couple and those poor children all had defects and disabilities from their parents being closely related. They live just to suffer and it’s horrible
Why people are against banning them is so fucking crazy to me
Wait, so they could before 2026? What?
Last day of June finna be one for the books
It’s crazy that they even need a law for this. Why do people not understand that cousin marriages have a much higher chance of leading to children with deformities or mental issues? Do people not care about their own descendants?
So what you’re saying is that there’s still time.
Well shoot
I thought that was just an Alabama thing.
Yo Switzerland, your new law about not wanting incestual marriages is raising a lot of questions about your country and incestual marriages
