It looks like people are becoming less social in traditional ways, and meeting on-line is mainstream.

The family that lays together, stays together? :scared:
Hopefully it means distant family (cousins etc.)

Is marrying my third cousin considered incest?
Genetically speaking you share 1/128 alleles of genes with random strangers. So as soon as you hit that 1/128 with someone it isn’t incest by scientific standards.
So how far away is that?
For every step along the family’s you have to go for a common answer, you get a factor of 2; so you go up to a parent, you share 1/2.
You may be thinking “hang on, I share 1/2 with siblings too!!” This is because you have two common ancestors at the parent level, so you multiply by 2 when you go down from there - half siblings share only 1/4.
But back to cousins.
1st: up 2 to grandparents, down 2 to them; 2/16 =1/8 = incest.
2nd: up 3 to great grandparents, down 3 to them; 2/64 = 1/32 = still incest
3rd: up 4 to great great grandparents, down 4 to them; 2/256=1/128 = not incest, basically strangers.
So no, scientifically it isn’t incest.

There is: you pick up the cousin of your sister-in-law on the wedding.
Or: Dear daughter, you are getting married to this nice guy from this rich family, you are going to have a nice life, never have to work.

Woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
In Trinidad there was a family
With much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
He wanted to marry, have a wife of his own
Found a young girl that suited him nice
Went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said: "Son, I have to say no,
This girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
A week went by and the summer came 'round
Soon the best cook in the island he found
He went to his papa to name the day
His papa shook his head and to him did say
"You Can't marry this girl, I have to say no
This girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
He went to his mama and covered his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she say, "Go man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know."
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
