Same Surname, Cant Get Married!?

[dansonmie]

people with same surname, can not get married?

is it true?

why? ???

[xiao_yee]

i think can not, but not very sure.. ???

[Jen1012]

haha... i think can get married. just not encouraged. cos if you have children, the genes will sort of mutate then the child may be born with abnormalities.. haha.. read it somewhere.. :D

[AAsama]

I dun think its true lah, but try to avoid thats all. Becuse chinese go through many generations in different areas...

[choco_fudge]

then how about other races?
think they don't have a consistent surname ler ???

[jan]

According to history is cannot. Cos last time the people and family are all the same. They do not wan members of the same family to marry each other. But now with a new generation and a change of mindset. The people with the same surname can come from many different places. So i tink now is can. They will not mind. BUT.. Maybe ur elders may object... MAYBE only...

[coldkohmew]

Thats why need to check the family line...

[hideaki]

same surname, can get married.
same surname, better not have children.

i've also heard that there might be abnormalities in the child born by parents of the same surname. but how true is that, i don't know as i've read cases in american countries where parents of the same surname have bore perfectly normal children. however, it may not be necessary true for asian countries.

[mayi]

haha.. if ur parents/grandparents v traditional den cannot get married..
cos' ur grandpa's grandpa's grandpa' grandpa's ........ **the line continues** is the same person.
So that means, somewhat or another, u r related lo..
that is what my friend's grandparents (Taiwanese) used to tell me..

[EricSng]

yea. heard before. cannot got children if same surname. but married, gotta see you family lor.
heard diff religion oso hah? like it wun turn out to be happily ever after.

[duomagix]

oh my theres such a thing?

[weixuanz]

wad the hell. where gt such ting..

ur mum n dad may have different surnames but u take ur dads wad.. but even if they practice tt rule. then no1 will break u up wif ur gf even if she has the same surname as ur mum.

but u do carry ur mums genes too.. rite? lol.

so which means after 5 generations or so.. u shld nver haf kids. coz chances are ur family history if every generation gives birth to 2 babies.. it would have about 10 or even 20 sets of different genes or surname.

[HenrY]

cursed or something ?
lol .

Long long time ago, same surname was under one family.

yep , true we all have our mother's side of the gene .
but what can u do when ur whole family disagree with ur GF ?
well, perhaps these "traditions" sld end somewhere ?

[blueks-vivacious]

Same surname cannot get married?
Hmmm

Its the 21st century alr leh, there's still ppl following this tradition?

And about the same genes thing, I think it only apply to cousins in the family of the same surname.
Yr friends and whoever is okae.

[sleeping]

hmmm...if this is 19 century and earlier...yup not able to....however this is 21st le...2000 yrs have pass le...believe mindset has changed....

[WoShiKengWee]

yeah, so long already..its 2000years man.
some might took mum's surname?
some might have different surname cause got adopted?
some surname can be checked.
i checked on my friend's surname and family tree.
really have such thing.
her surname is van calcar
then what happens was the whole list came out.
from so call the clan starter to her.
and its updated and damn accurate.
since she's a dutch. and her surname is so unique.
so easier to check..
chinese surname too common,
and chinese are the largest population right?
if all the chinese in china were to walk past you.
it will never end. lol.

[simpsons]

Hmm. I think it very much applies only to the "traditional-thinking" homes. Young people nowadays don't really care, do they?

[Da_Gist]

._.

thats sad...im gonna have to break up with my gf now...

[EricSng]

._.

thats sad...im gonna have to break up with my gf now...


huh?? because of same surname??

[Da_Gist]

haha yeap, btu no la, i was kidding about that...

[EricSng]

haha yeap, btu no la, i was kidding about that...


haha.. thought you really believe in it. but seriously, i do believe. hahahaha

let us know about the outcome man. hahah

[Da_Gist]

LOL nono ure mistaken.

1. I have no girlfriend
2. I do not believe in that surname thing although i am curious.

I mean, from my point of view, are we to hold back our emotions and not be united if we share the same surname? something that we do not see, feel, or erm feel (sorry, its repetitive but it sounds more dramatic), is going to limit our actions in deciding how to love?

heh.

[EricSng]

hahaha... MAN!! just pulling your leg man... lac lac..
ai zai ah. lol
no intentions of anything.. hahahha

[Jaydenial]

i dont want mutated children >.>
better to be safe.. i wont marry anyone whose sirname is ANG. aha!

[sleeping]

haha...i dun think so ba...since the gene is totally different than others with the same surname...

[ecinaj89]

Normally the same race will have quite similiar genes..
In order not to have high chance of mutated babies, it's best to have someone who is of a different race.. hahaha.. their babies are stronger, because their genes are different.. that's what i've heard from my lecturer during my elective module.. hahaha..

[EricSng]

haha... then find a caucasian or jee punee lor. wahahaha

[ecinaj89]

haha.. you can try that.. lol..

[coldkohmew]

see family tree i guess...

[sleeping]

haha...family tree extend...very gan kor...can link until dunnoe where...haha

[coldkohmew]

Try asking a Singapore agency or try the DNA test loh...

[sleeping]

dna is too far fetched le....how??

[coldkohmew]

It just getting to view some cheek cells.
And tracing through the database...

[sleeping]

but how far to the tree can it go???

[Prh19]

As far as Adam dam and Eve....so really no point tracing back to the root, but just listen to the old generation advice, there is a chinese saying "Bu Ting lao Ren Yan, Chi Qui Zai Yan Qian", direct translate is, if you dun heed elderly advice, the only thing you foresee will be bad/unlucky.

[sleeping]

haha...good advice given....

[mr-archer]

Scientifically, it's cos the people from the same family have got the same genes of something similar, then if you further mix with the same genes, the child will be born defect. *Proven i think...i read this somewhere....*

Traditionally, cos you're from the same family. So is it alright to marry you sister? or brother?

Thats what i know la..

[mz]

from what Darwin said, we all derived from black! Africa

[mr-archer]

we're from monkeys. =.="

[sleeping]

wowoahahaha?!?!!*imitate a monkey....*

[EricSng]

[sleeping]

haha....this thoery havent been finalised yet...so dun think so...hahah

[Prh19]

Ppl say we are link back to monkey simple because the reason they behane somehow like us...how can they do that T.T

[sleeping]

may be...but this has nt yet being proven...some says that we are being created....so that means no evolution take place....everyone have different say...do not take it to heart...haha

[mr-archer]
