Hi! According to the provisions of the law on marriage and family, it is not allowed to marry or live together as husband and wife between people who have the same surname within three generations. Her case is the 4th generation, legally recognized, but consanguineous marriage increases the risk of birth defects and abnormalities for the next generation.
