bhavini 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 I've always wondered how Subhadra and Arjuna were allowed to marry each other even though they were first cousins. I know that everything happens if Krishna plans it that way but was this considered normal or? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 23, 2003 In those days and even now in villages in India consanguineous marriages are still there. One can marry Father's sister's son or daughter and in the same way mother's brother's son or daughter. This practice is there even now in India in villages. While working in genetic disorders among consnguineous famiies, i recorded many interesting things like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
