....keep it in the family. Or so the saying goes. Although, I'm not sure this lad knows what home base even is yet -

11-year-old marries 10-year-old cousin
Wednesday Mar 19 10:04 AEDT

An 11-year-old boy has married his 10-year-old cousin in the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a newspaper reported.

Mohammed al-Rashidi and his unidentified cousin will seal the marriage they contracted under the sharia laws of Islam and move in together after a ceremony to take place in the summer, Al-Shams, newspaper said.

"I am ready for this marriage. It will help me study better," Mohammed, who goes to primary school in the northern province of Hail, was quoted as saying by Al-Shams.

"I invite all my classmates to do like me," the boy said, adding that he wanted to "crown a love story through marriage".

The schoolboy's father, Muraizak al-Rashidi, told the newspaper he was busy sending out invitations for a summer celebration to seal the marriage.

Dahim al-Jaber, the headmaster at Mohammed's school, said marriage at such a young age was "inappropriate" but wished the couple a happy life together.

So yeah, all the best to the couple. May they be grandparents by the time they're 25.

'Incest is best, put your cousin to the test', so they say, he took them seriously.

They are going to move in together at eleven?

Imagine the first night. They will consumate the marriage by staying up all night, jumping on the beds, eating thousands of sweets, and watching decadent american TV.

Thats what I would do anyway.

Stewie : of course I do.... it's a type of cake??

Not much stopping you doing that at any age except self-conciousness
