Do you think it's okay for someone to date or marry a mentally handicapped person?

My cousin is dating a mentally handicapped woman and he isn't mentally handicapped himself, he says he really loves her.

As long as they’re not being taken advantage of and are happy with the situation, and over 18 obviously.

@thisusernameisgarbage Yeah, I think she loves him back, she was leaning on his shoulder and giving him hugs when we were out to dinner.
Long as he has her happiness in his heart, I wish them well!

If he loves her, I'm happy for him...
As long as they’re not just using the person for sex or money, (exploiting them) and they’re capable of consent, it’s not wrong.

Theres a woman in a relationship with a guy who is physically disabled he has no use of his body below the neck. Does that stop them from having a relationship?
I think the point you are missing is love is at play here.
He's isn't hiding the relationship. Its more than likely she will have professionals that look out for her and they will assess the relationship

@Peppa She does have professionals that look out for her, my cousin told me they trust him.

@Billybob2 all should be good, just embrace her. The more you get to know her im sure you'll see what beauty your cousin found in her.
The best people don't always come in the best packages.

Why is that people like u see nothing but HATE for those who r disabled. What do u really mean. That people with disabilities shouldn't b allowed to Date, reproduce. And even live. Says alot abt u.

@Abbenthewarwolf I don't want anybody bad mouthing my cousin because of who he loves, I got his back if I need to. I don't have a problem with them dating at all.

Duh, why would it not be okay? Unless they’re taking advantage of the handicapped person.
