From a legal view point it is dependent on what state you are in. From a religious stand pont you are members of a common family group but you are not related by blood. If some one is making a big deal out of it use a civil ceremony if it is OK in your state,and have a wonderful life together.

I don't think there is any thing wrong in marrying your step cousin in so far you are not blood relations. It also depend on your tradition

Step-relatives are different from half-relatives. See the laws of your state and country at the marriage registry.

Not only could you marry your step-cousin you could marry your step-brother. There is no blood relationship between the two.

Dear Valentine: The reason this intermarriage thing got started is that science found that by mixing family blood, it often resulted in birth defects in the children. If the laws of your State permit it and this step-cousin is in NO way blood related, you are both equally yoked and it is the will of God that you should marry, there is not a problem with it.

stepcousin IS still family.

It is my understanding that in the U.S., there isn't even a such thing as "step-cousin". There are step-parents and step-siblings, but that is it. No step-aunts or step-uncles, so no step-cousins. Yes, it is fine as long as you are not blood relatives and both are equally yoked.

I think it is ok, because a step relative is not a blood relative.
