@sam0000,
It's probably fine, but check with your pastor just to be sure.

@sam0000,
From what I briefly read. Second cousin marriage is legal in India.

@sam0000,
Sam inasmuch as I predict herewith that certain perspicuous participants will instantly accuse you of robotic resurgency, an instant response to the contrary will quickly dispel their accusation

That's right isn't it, fellas

@tsarstepan,
Since the Syrian Catholic Church is in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, same Canon Law applies.

Since 1917, only first cousin marriages aren't allowed under Canon Law (Can. 1091). But even first cousins can get a dispense (Can.1078 ยง3).

@Walter Hinteler,
Sam if you are real and not a bot, then doesn't Walt's response above encourage a supplementary flow of Life's Fluid through a certain Nether Extremity

The Church Of England (and indeed the law of England) allows first cousin marriages.

@sam0000,
Historically the church has manipulated legality of cousin marriage (and indeed the definition of "incest") in order to acquire the estates of unmarried females. "Being a Christian" is predominantly a social issue rather than a personal one.
