Kole ke fakakau atu ‘a e ngaahi tefito’i mo’oni ko’eni felave’i mo e COUSIN MARRIAGES.
1. 26 US states allow first cousin marriages; most people can marry their cousin in the US.
2. US prohibitions against cousin marriages predate modern genetics.
3. No European country prohibits marriage between first cousins. It is also legal throughout Canada and Mexico to marry your cousin. The U.S. is the only western country with cousin marriage restrictions.
4. Children of non-related couples have a 2-3% risk of birth defects, as opposed to first cousins having a 4-6% risk. Genetic counseling is available for those couples that may be at a special risk for birth defects (e.g. You have a defect that runs in your family) In plain terms first cousins have at a 94 percent + chance of having healthy children. Check the links section for more information on genetic counselors. The National Society of Genetic Counselors estimated the increased risk for first cousins is between 1.7 to 2.8 percent, or about the same a any woman over 40 years of age. Source: external link
5. Second cousins have little, if any increased chance of having children with birth defects, per the book “Clinical Genetics Handbook”
6. The frequency of cousin marriages in the USA is about 1 in 1,000. The frequency of cousin marriages in Japan is about 4 in 1,000
7. It is estimated that 20 percent of all couples worldwide are first cousins. It is also estimated that 80 percent of all marriages historically have been between first cousins!
8. Albert Einstein married his first cousin. And so did Charles Darwin, who had exceptional children.
9. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the longest serving US president in history married his cousin (not a first cousin, however they shared the same last name).
10. Leviticus 18 lists all forbidden sexual relationships. Cousin relationships are not included.
11. God commanded many cousins to marry, including Zelophehad’s 5 daughters, Eleazar’s daughters, Jacob (who married both Rachel and Leah, first cousins), and Isaac and Rebekkah (first cousins once removed)
12. Current studies indicate that cousin couples have a lower ratio of miscarriages — perhaps because body chemistry of cousins is more similar. The verdict is still out.
13. In some cultures, the term cousin and mate are synonymous.
14. We are all cousins. No two people are more distantly related than 50th cousins.
Malo pea talamonu atu ki he Ta’ane laulotaha pea ‘ikai toe ue’ia ‘a e tama Pilinisi Kalauni pea mo Pilinisesi Sinaitalaka Tuku’aho.
Malo e tau lava, ‘Oku lahi ‘a e ngaahi fakamatala ‘a e tohitapu ki he mali cousin, KA ‘oku te’eki tu’otaha ha talamai ‘e he tohitapu hano kovi. To the contrary, all references to cousin marriage in scripture are 100% supportive.Those who oppose cousin marriage often use “any close relative” to base their opposition on. Others will say that just because cousins aren’t specifically referred to doesn’t mean God didn’t mean to include them. They insist this list is just a general rule of thumb, not an all-inclusive command. I disagree. Leviticus is a book of law. It is very specific and very definitive. The passage begins with “any close relative”, and proceeds to describe all that God defines as near kin, followed by other sexual acts which God forbids. To say that God meant to include cousins is to assume God made a mistake. To say that it is only a general list, you must wonder why God was so very specific that He included beastiality, homosexuality, and sex during a woman’s menstrual cycle. Furthermore, the Scripture clearly and unmistakably defines an aunt (a mother’s or father’s sister) as the parent’s close relative, not as one’s own.
‘E lava pe ketau sio ki ha ngaahi faka’uhinga pe ko e ha na’e tapui ai ‘ia Levitiko ‘a e mali ‘a e tangata mo hono aunty kae ‘ikai ko ha fefine mo hono uncle, ka ‘oku ou pehe ko e issue kehe ia. The point is the list ‘oku ha ‘ia levitiko does NOT say that cousin marriage is NOT allowed.
Ka tau sio ange ki ha ni’ihi ‘o e ngaahi mali cousin (first cousin) ‘i he tohitapu pea fungani ai ko e ngaahi mali ko eni na’e tapuekina ‘e he ‘Otua.
Ko e ngaahi ‘ofefine ‘o Silofehat (‘a ia ko Mahala, Tilisa, Hokela, Milika, mo Noa)i na’e tu’utu’uni ‘e Mosese ‘i he fekau ‘a e ‘Otua kenau kenau mali cousin (mali ki he ngaahi foha ‘o e tokoua ‘enau tamai – first cousin), Vakai kia Nomipa 36:1-11.
Milcah was married to her cousin, Nahor. They had a grand daughter named Rebekkah. In Genesis 24:48-51, the story unfolds of how, against all odds, God’s direction for her to marry her cousin’s son Isaac (first cousin once removed) is made crystal clear.
Tau vakai kia Sekope, na’e mali mo Lesieli mo Leah, ko e ongo tautehina, ‘a ia ko e ongo ‘ofefine ‘a ‘ene fa’etangata, ‘a ia ko e tuonga’ane ‘o Lepeka. ‘A ia ne mali ‘a Sekope mo hono first cousin where Jacob’s descendants became what is now known as the twelve tribes of Israel. (Genesis chapters 19 and 29)
In I Chronicles 23:22, Eleazar’s daughters married their first cousins. Very little detail is given of this event.
In conclusion, biblical prohibitions of cousin marriage reside only in the minds of the unlearned. We can find many instances of where God had blessed cousin marriage. In fact, the Catholic Dictionary finds that Christ’s parents– Joseph & Mary– were first cousins. Protestants come to the same conclusion. Do I believe that Joseph and Mary were first cousins? It’s likely, but I do not need this to validate my relationship. It will be fun to tease Joseph and Mary a bit when I get up there.
Katau foki mai ki he ta’ane, ‘oku ou tui ta’etoeveiveiua, ‘oku ‘ikai hano fehalaaki fakatohitapu, tukukeheange ‘a e tali he ngaahi tui kehe pehe ki he ngaahi fakatotolo fakasaienisi kimui ni mai.

The marriage is over, we can’t do much about it, despite the fact that we have no constitutional right to do so. I believe our call is to give them our support, for they are the future head of our state, the country we love, Tonga.
