I'm not going to say it is wrong that she loves him in that way, but think of two relatives getting married (And/or having children). Although i don't know if they are blood related. Does this happen often in Japanese culture?
shareDon't know about Japanese culture, but it seems to happen often in anime culture. ;-)
I've also been told that the term may be somewhat ambiguous, meaning that "cousin" could also include second cousins, etc. And in that case, I have no problem, since I once had a crush on a very attractice second cousin. hehe
Romantic cousin love is allowed, but it's greatly frowned upon.
shareIn Japan it isn't that taboo to be romantically involved with your own cousin. It was even arranged for marriages. It probably isn't recommended today, but it is a thing.
Edgar Allen Poe married his own cousin and he was a US citizen. There are many theories to that marriage, but it was there and legal. Marrying your own cousin wasn't that strange in "recent" history for a lot of the world.
In the US today, "Twenty-five states prohibit marriages between first cousins. Six states allow first cousin marriage under certain circumstances, and North Carolina allows first cousin marriage but prohibits double-cousin marriage. States generally recognize marriages of first cousins married in a state where such marriages are legal."
I thought maybe they grew up together and their families were close. I had a few cousins growing up that weren't really cousins
No offense, but you're an idiot.
Yes and she's dumber than a hammer.
We live in Matrix, don't say otherwise.
