Can collateral relatives of the fifth generation get married?

Patient's question:

Can collateral relatives of the fifth generation get married?

Doctor's answer:

The national marriage law prohibits marriage between direct blood relatives and collateral relatives within three generations. However, marriage is allowed between fifth and sixth generations, as the law does not prohibit it. It is possible to marry and undergo premarital examinations, but due to the closeness of chromosomes, the likelihood of the next generation inheriting genetic diseases may increase. I hope you seriously consider this. There are many reasons that may lead to genetic counseling, and patients need timely treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital for your condition. Pay attention to the development of your condition and avoid treating it recklessly. Additionally, focus on self-care in your daily life to ensure a healthy routine. I wish you a speedy recovery!
