Thank you for clearing me up with this.

reader, anonymous, writes (15 April 2009): ur being stereotypical, just becoz he's indian does not mean he will marry his cousin or anyone blood related. yes it is common, due to some family traditions, or to build stronger relationships between families. but do not think all indians, pakistanis or bangladeshis maary their cousins by force or opression, some people actually do genuinely like their cousin, and if this is the case with ur boyfriend do not get in the way unless u have the intention to marry him.
