I had a random conversation with my friends the other day, and someone said that in Indian Culture it was once considered alright for a girl to marry her mother's brother, i.e. her uncle. Eew right?
Then we went and analysed, what would it be like if we did?
First awful analysis:
You and your kids will call the same people "Grandpa" and "Grandma"!
Second gross analysis:
Your grandmother would become your mother-in-law!
Third killer analysis:
Your mother would be your sister-in-law!

Damn eew right?
But I guess it all boiled down to how they viewed girls back then. A burden to the family, need dowry, better marry them off ASAP bla bla bla.
You can't start any place nearer than home right? Thus the uncle being a possible candidate. The dowry also would then still be part of the fam.
(one of my grandma's sisters is actually married to an uncle!)
Fist-cousin marriages were also common I think...
Whoa... hhaahah I'm alright with it and all. Just that if it were me... *shivers* heehee
maybe u should marry jx....
