    No plans to stop you marrying your cousin

    There are no plans to stop people getting married to their cousins on the Isle of Man.

    In the UK, Tory MP for Basildon and Billericay Richard Holden is introducing a private members bill which would outlaw cousins marrying.

    On the Island, there are restrictions under laws dating back to 1984 that ban people marrying parents - natural or adopted - along with aunts, uncles, nieces or nephews.

    But if passed the UK laws won't apply here, and so cousins will still be able to wed.
