I had a friend who was married to someone within his family and generally such marriages are termed as consanguineous marriage. The chances of the offspring inheriting genetic disorders from such marriages are quite high. infact my friend's baby was diagnosed of a disorder which led to mental disability at the age of 3. In these cases it's better to plan your baby, getting oneself and partner checked by a doctor and getting some pre-natal check from doctor. There are certain check ups even for the baby which can be done post delivery which will help in getting the baby diagnosed of any such genetic disorders right at the time of birth. Baby genetic screening for more than 100 disorders screens newborns for metabolic diseases.

Do Arkansas have common law marriage?

Arkansas (along with most states) does not recognize common law marriage. The only exception to that would be if you previously lived in another state that did recognize common law marriage (again, most states don't) and you were considered common law married in that state, and you then later moved to Arkansas.
