A step cousin is not actually related to you so, it is not a moral dilemma. However, it can be very complicated, because if things don't work out, you still have to see each other with a certain frequency because you are still part of the family. I would advise caution.
Many people feel that it is morally wrong to date a step cousin. Even though you are not blood related cousins are often very close and feel like family. If it is something both want to do consults your parents and other family member to see how they feel.
it is okay to date anyone who is not a "blood relative". Anyone who is a "Step..." anything is not a blood relative. For instance, it is okay to date your: Step Cousin, Step Second Cousin, Step Third Cousin, etc. it is even okay to date a step Brother or sister, however it is slightly looked down upon by most societies.
Of course you can. Anyone can date anyone else who is willing. In addition, your so-called "step cousin" shares no ancestors with you and so is not related to you at all.
No, not at all. As long as you guys aren't real cousins, it's not weird. If your mom or dad hadn't met your step mom or step dad you guys could date and no one would think there was anything wrong with that.
Certainly, you can date anyone you want, including your cousin. But your cousin's step-brother is not related to you, so questions of relationship do not arise. It's about equivalent to dating your cousin, so it's up to you if that's against your morals. As for genetics, having a child with him won't produce abnomalities if they don't share a biological parent with your cousin, but as for ethics, it's up to you. If the parents of your cousins step-brother are related to you no. But if they're not go for it!
A step brother's cousin is no relation to you.
It's okay in West Virginia.
First off, if your cousin and his "step-brother" have the same father, they are not step-brothers; they are half-brothers.Now, your cousin is your cousin (first cousin) because he or she is the child of a sibling of your parent. Perhaps your cousin's father married his sister-in-law after a death or divorce. If so, the cousin's half-brother is still your first cousin. Or perhaps your cousin's father married your aunt from the other side of the your family (a sister of your other parent). If the half-brother/step-brother is the child of your aunt, he is still your first cousin.In any case, it is OK to date your first cousin if you want to. The questions may arise in some, but not all groups and locations, if dating goes further and becomes sexual activity. Some jurisdictions and cultures find that to be improper; others do not.
Step son or not regarding your mother's cousin that would make him your third cousin.
They can date as long as they are not related by blood.
its pretty weird, but as far as i know it is legal.
There is no such thing as a half second cousin. You are second cousins if you share one great grandparent. Being someone's cousin means you are related to them.There is a step-2nd cousin. A step-2nd cousin is the daughter/son of someone's step-mom's/step-dad's cousin. It could also be the step-daughter/step-son of someone's mom's/dad's cousin.Ex.:Rob has a step-mom named Mary. Mary's cousin is Johnathan. Johnathan's child is Maria. Rob & Maria are step-2nd cousins.Maria's dad is named Johnathan. Johnathan has a cousin named Mary. Mary has a step-son named Rob. Maria & Rob are step-2nd cousins.
If she is your grandpa's step-niece, she would be your mom's step-cousin, and your second step-cousin.
