Is It Right To Get Married To A Distant Cousin?

I am asking this question because I have seen quite a number of people who got married to their cousins, and simply do not see anything wrong with. So  is it right  to date or marry a distant cousin or even a close one for that matter?

What do you make of people who do that, and do you think it is morally right to engage in such act?

I am curious because to some people, it is a case of absurdity, while it is just normal to some others. So let’s know if it is ideal for two cousins distant or close to be joined in ‘holy’ matrimony when there are millions of free guys and girls out there.

Remember that love does not give us a chance to choose whom to fall in love with sometimes. So what if you start having a crush on your cousin, what would you do? Can you control such thoughts and feelings when they start coming or will you just walk up to your cousin and make your intentions known?

Suppose it happens to you, how would you be able to deal with the criticism of the society?
