The main reason why close relatives within three generations cannot get married is due to medical and anthropological considerations of eugenics. Scientific research and practical experience have shown that offspring born from consanguineous marriage have a higher risk of genetic diseases.
This is mainly due to the close blood relationship between close relatives, which makes it easy to pass on physiological defects from both sides to offspring, thereby affecting family happiness and national health.
In order to prevent this risk and protect the health of the next generation, the law stipulates that direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations are prohibited from getting married.
