Can i marry son of my mother's first cousin?

Your mother's first cousin and the child of your mother's first cousin are both what you would call your first cousins once removed.In most places, it is legal to marry your first cousin once removed. Some countries have different state laws about cousin marriage, however. Since you didn't mention the country and the state/county of the country you reside in, we cannot give you a straight up answer, only a general one.Cousin marriage is highly stigmatised in the West, though it is legal in most places in the West. Cousin marriage is common in the Middle East, but not so much in the West or Asia. You should also bear in mind that there is very strong medical evidence that shows having children with a cousin or a cousin first removed increases the risk of that child being born with genetic complications that will affect them for their entire lives.You should look into the local laws of your state/county. Though it is widely legal in the West to marry the first cousin once removed, there are sometimes local restrictions.
