    This is like an aptitude test question if a train leaves from platfrom A at 3.15

    i'm sorry but i cant figure out if you are actually related lol

    is it your second cousin? Through marriage or blood?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,695 ✭✭✭King of Kings


    The kings says "Yeah you're ok" cos you're not of the same bloodline.
    C's mother is not related by blood to B's mum (who is your aunt).
    you wouldn't be related by blood to B's father.

    The only time this should cause trouble is if you hear the words...."Luke I am your father" then you're F8cked.

    Yes you are. Specifically, you're asking if it's OK to date your Dad's brother-in-law's niece?

    She is not related to you in any way, so there's no problem with it.

    How did Seamus arrive at a niece from the above?

    I think we have arrived at a fact here: If you are related to someone, but cannot actually figure out the relation, then you can lash em out of it.

    great. sigh of relief.

    ok if i'm John and i'm related to Sarah (my cousin). Sarahs mother is the sister of my father (shes my aunt)

    Sarah is related to Rachel (Sarahs cousin), where Rachels mother is the sister of Sarahs father

    The question is am i allowed to date Rachel?
    or is it a no no

    Isnt that alot easier? :rolleyes: Just make up the names instead of making it an algebraic riddle- I tell everyone on boards my name is Darren. Its really Rockerfeller J Sexinghorne III, but I like to preserve my anonomity.

    You are only blood related to Sarah and her mother. Rachels mother is related to Sarahs dad, who. unless you live in Redneckville or a halting site, isnt related to you. So basically if you get her pregnant the chances of slack jawed yokelism in your offspring is relatively low.

    As for whether ou are allowed, that depends on how surly Rachels dad is.....

    You should see my male cousins cousin on their mams side. Sweet jaysus, I wouldnt give a fcuk even if we were related.

    My mate wants to lash his stepsister (in fairness, she is the daughter of his dads long term girlfriend, and theyve never all lived under the same roof as a family, so is that acceptable?)

    I dunno. Shes an animal apparently, so in his shoes Id probably say yeah :D

    You can go out with your cousin since the incest laws only cover direct blood ancestors or descendents.

    Fu*kin excellent!

    I couldnt figure it out either. I think they're right though.

    Technically its okay, though it might raise some issues within your family... as even though its not blood, some might frown on it. Good luck!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    OP, ou write very complicated posts, I had to try imagines little figures in my head:confused::confused::confused:


    Bascially there's no problem legally, bear in mind though that your family may not look favourably on it.

    Why wouldn't they? It's his cousin's cousin...not related to him in any way.

    Certainly not, i think your cousin is a ride aswell.

    :rolleyes: ............would've been so much easier for that explanation than the algebraic riddle!

    Anyway - answer to OP: Of course! Of course of course of course! I'm surprised you even ask this - are people giving you grief or something? If they are - ignore them, they're only trying to annoy you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,268 ✭✭✭Zapho


    Yeah, its relation through marriage so you're fine OP. Just be sure that you're blood cousing doesnt mind though, becuase that could be wierd!
    And try to aviod the following conversation:

    A: "Oh I do hate it when your cousin calls over"
    B: "But A, she's your cousin too!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭cance


    Certainly not, i think your cousin is a ride aswell.

    :D

    OK. B is A's cousin. B's mother is A's father's sister. Therefore, B's mother is A's Aunt. This also implies that B's father is the brother-in-law of A's father.

    C is B's cousin. C's mother is the sister of the aforementioned father of B. Therefore, C's mother is the aunt of B, and sister-in-law to B's mother. This also implies that C is the niece of B's father.

    Since B is brother-in-law to A's father, then C is A's father's brother-in-law's niece.

    Confused yet? Me too :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,816 ✭✭✭Vorsprung


    Is the answer 42?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Donegal Lass

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,028 ✭✭✭Hellm0

    God no! All those hours studing maths finally had a use.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    The question is am i allowed to date C?
    or is it a no no

    Depends. Is C ugly? In which case you should pass it with your mates first.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    My Uncle is married to his 2nd cousin. As in there was a common great-grandfather between my uncle and this woman.
