RE: The Blue People of Kentucky: A 150-Year Mystery Finally Solved
Now I know why in marriages in Africa, especially in West Africa, the elders will first check if the lady you are getting married to is related. If they found out the couple are related, even by a long distance, marriage is immediately stopped. As a kid I've always wondered that is so. But later I got to know more that it is for the couple's benefit.
The elders do know a lot of things. How they got to know there are consequences as far back as they did beats me. It's an honor to have you here. Thank you for visiting my blog.
