I think the laws are to protect kids that are born to such couples. I think they are afraid that the kids are handicapped. I did not read research about it, but maybe the views are outdated. As for gay marriage, there is no potential risk for their kids, so it is a different reason.

Is it not a risk for your future kids to get handicapped if you have relationships with own family members? 

Which is rather judgmental comment 😏.

Considering the subject is about marriage validity.

Sharia law doesn't make sense to a lot of people either...  It is just the way of the world.

  Any recessive gene is more likely to surface in closely related marriages.  This include high IQ along with genetic defects.   People that marry closely related people should know their family history.

It is as risky as a woman over 40years get pregnant.

No, it is not judgmental at all.  It's medical and genetic fact.

He was using a fact to push a negative opinion. The fact and opinion had nothing to do with the legal validity of the marriage.

No, he wasn't.  He was explaining why some states in the US do not allow first cousins to marry, because medical science has shown it can result in birth defects.

Think in terms of six months.  Being first cousins alone would not be grounds to deny the visa.  However, it is always grounds to give extra scrutiny to the relationship itself.  What country is your spouse coming from?  What kind of evidence of your relationship did you include when filing the petition.  Tell us more about how the relationship with your spouse evolved.

 

If the visa is denied it will be because they don't believe the relationship is a genuine marriage, with being first cousins only one of several factors in their decision making.

Being first cousins is solely a reason for denial and in fact has happened several times before according to past topics posted on VJ.

What you posted is opinion.  What he posted is fact........

You have provided the opinion and interpretation of the OP's in these cases as to the sole reason for denial of a K-1 visa petition in one case shown above.  The instant case is a spouse visa case where the marriage has already taken place.  Different animals entirely.  A K-1 visa "PETITION" will be denied if the US Citizen lives in a State where it is not legal for the marriage to take place. We are discussing an approved petition for a spouse, with a subsequent denial of a visa during a Consular interview.

 

Denying a petition and denying a visa are not the same thing.  Neither are spouse and fiancee.  Interpretations are also not facts.

 

The spouse case was specific to Texas.  The instant case we are discussing is Pennsylvania.

If you want more information on the risks (they do exist) , here is a short documentary: Dispatches - When Cousins Marry (2010)

Hint: "1/3 of all children suffering from rare genetic diseases are British Pakistani [most common group marrying between first cousins]. Yet they only make up 1.5% of the total population." 7:45 into the doc.
