May be an idea to provide real case evidences to present to the couple, revealing possible consequences in this type of relationship for offspring. Some cultures/ethnic groups intermarry and there seems to be a high percentage of children born with disabilities. Just a thought here, present them with facts - it could make them think twice.They must hopefully consider outcomes.

I take on board what everyone is saying and thank you all for your views. No it's not an embarrassment, my concerns are that any children could be disabled and that can put a strain on any relationship. My feeling is that she would be left holding the baby so's to speak. My hope is that it will burn itself out because of the age difference. Yes we have put all options to them but they aren't ready to listen.
