Yes, if you marry within relatives, your children will most likely be born with diseases. Do no get married to your relatives.

Hi. Yes.the risk of genetic diseases and disabilities are high in marrying blood realtives. More closer the relative more the risk. So it's best to avoid. But if you are desparate to marry in relation, do get genetic counseling before planning for baby and do all the antenatal screenings properly at the least.
