<Hindu marriage Act prohibits marriage till 7 seven generations etc....>
Rules are for FOOLS.Recently India's HRD minister was arraigned for extracting
heavy Dahej for his Grandson!
<Its so confusing!!!>
But that is safest Genetic Law of selection!

that many laws go unenforced. Muslims seems to have really great laws against
cosuin marriage. Hindu marriage Act prohibits marriage till 7 seven generations
etc....Umesh---------------------Mukul-da,Burning issues can wait a little
longer. Now that you mention it about South India I recall a situation which
has vexed me since my first month at Harvard. I was at the SSN office (Social
Security Administraion) and met the on;y other Indian student at Harvard's Grad
school of education compared to hundreds who come www.gmu.edu for computers.
She was a graduate of IIM Ahmedababd. She was a Punjabi by last name but her
grandmother lived in Boston.Her grandmother was a Telugu from Andhra Pardesh.
Also there was another young girl - her cousin who was a student at Harvard
Business School - also having come from India. The Harvard MBA girl was a
cousin of my classmate but . called the older woman as her aunt . I was amazed
how can my batchmate's cousin call my batchmate's gradma as aunt. She did
mention that MBA girl's father was also her grandma's brother.. Its so
confusing!!!Umeshmc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

cousin - is cousin once removedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL
PROTECTED],I cannot argue with you about Englishmen's habits since you studied
in England before I was even born. But it seems strange that I never saw any
Englishman in a movie or in a story (by Jeffery Archer, Charles Dickens,
Shakespeare etc) kiss their sisters and mothers on any place besides cheeks or
forehead. I think this topic is going nowhere. Lord Krishna's sister married
their cousin Arjun to produce son Abhimanyu. Lord Krishna was also brother (in
words) of Arjun's other wife Draupadi. Cousin marriage is more common in
Muslims .Umeshmc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 17:51:39 -0700From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL
PROTECTED]: [Assam] first cousin - is cousin once removedI have a question . A
10 yearold student asked a question " What is a cousin once removed?" I
checked on wiki is says once first cousin is one's uncle -- and his children
are my cousin once removed. I remember checking in high school days after
reading the term in a Sherlock Holmes short story - perhaps in the "Speckled
Band" Even an American colleague was not too sure so it seems this is old
system (used by older generation onlyUmesh Umesh SharmaWashington D.C. And
