Hi,

Can marrying someone who's sibling has a disorder be risky in terms of having a child with a disorder in the future?

Facts to consider:

  • Given that her parents were cousins.
  • Given that my parents are not cousins.
  • Given that my mother's parents were related and had a child with disorder.
  • We are not related.
  • I don't know the particular disorder that her sibling has

Appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Murtaza
