26-year marriage between cousins deemed invalid

A court in Shuangfeng county, Hunan province, deemed a 26-year-old marriage between two cousins invalid when the couple went in front of a judge seeking a divorce last week.

Parents of the first cousins had arranged the marriage.

Consanguineous marriages are banned in China.
