      @@gokuldastvm I think it's not about sin or guilt. A kid surrounded by the regular family ties experiences the world and grows up differently than a person who grows up in a disordered surroundings. Just imagine, your dad is your cousin, that implies a lot of things. So although I wish all the best for the person who was born in such circumstances and I believe you are a person you've become in your life, others should beware and avoid things like that. Marry people who are not your relatives, period.

      The government needs to step in and create serious mandates. If you can fall in love with your cousin, you can find someone else to marry. It might not be an easy transition in the beginning but the mindset needs to change unless they want to be a nation of compromised, vulnerable, maddening existences.

      The immigration family reunification schema created a mechanism for blood relatives to keep on reinvesting economically.
      This benefitted some transnational families more than others if stratifying for class.
      The pattern began post-war with post-colonial labour and industry deficits.
      Then there is this two thirds of other demographics or communities and practices. The health system seems to want the genetic focus, whilst dominant individuals will do as they wish and political economy is somewhere between the two.

They've done studies on best friends, and they are statistically as related as about 4th cousins based on how much DNA they share on average. This makes sense when we more often than not befriend people who tend to look more like us and act like us. And if you go to some parts of the world where people are ethnically less diverse, they often share more DNA with each other than your average stranger. (Like Ashkenazi Jews, Japanese, etc.) In these situations people might not even be actual cousins, but because of the smaller genetic group, they share as much DNA as a distant relative would.
      There really is no moral argument to be made about it at that point, because most 3rd cousins don't even know each other (as a single generation is about 25 years, so from the birth of your great great grandparents all the way until the birth of you is roughly 100 years) so the familiarity isn't there, and the genetic risk just isn't there unless your family regularly practices incest and have been doing it for generations lol.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

      Fr the mom says she worries for them and such but she had to have known her kids would turn out like this.

To me it comes off as a mother who cares more about her religion than her own breathing children. The fact her first 3 children have disabilities and she kept having them shows how little she cares for them.

      Dr. Motulsky said medical geneticists had known for a long time that there was little or no harm in cousins marrying and having children. ''Somehow, this hasn't become general knowledge,'' even among doctors, he said.
      Although the increase represents a near doubling of the risk, the result is still not considered large enough to discourage cousins from having children, said Dr. Arno Motulsky, a professor emeritus of medicine and genome sciences at the University of Washington, and the senior author of the report. www.nytimes.com/2002/04/04/us/few-risks-seen-to-the-children-of-1st-cousins.html#:~:text=They%20say%20there%20is%20no,people%20think%2C%20the%20scientists%20said.

Problem is that there's often a lot of pre-existing inbreeding in those cultures, which means the inbreeding ratio can be closer to that of siblings than of first cousins. Also, there are other major problems with cousin marriage, such as that clan mentalities and clan relations are cemented, leading to more corruption and crime. And also, of course, that we should move away from arranged marriages, dowrys and all that junk.

      2 billion Muslims and 200 millions South Indian hindus don't have taboo with first cousin marriages. That doesn't mean that they have to marry cousins. Occasionally marrying cousins doesn't significantly impact genetic outcomes.
      With modern technology simple genetic screening before marriage can mitigate almost most of its risks.
      Pakistanis marrying their cousins is excessive they should widen their genetic spread consciously and where they do genetic screening should be the norm.
      These kind of breathlessly dissing Muslim practices without nuance is habit of the white people.

It’s what makes behaviour of others marrying their first cousins so infuriating, especially when they must know the risk now! There’s enough unlucky people like your son who was born with cystic fibrosis, through no fault of either you or your husband, or your son. But for others to marry their first cousins knowing the risk, and then to have multiple children with serious genetic disorders requiring millions in health care over their lives, it’s just infuriating. If everyone was to start marrying their first cousins (yuck in my opinion), the health system would collapse. I feel like this practice is extremely selfish by them. If they were back in Pakistan, their kids would be in serious trouble with little to no medical help. I wish your son and your family all the best, I’m so glad that Medicare and the NDIS are there to support you all. God bless you all ❤

    I went to school with a young pakastani woman who had married her first cousin, this is in 2005. They came to the west for him to work as a doctor. I told her about the genetic problems 1st cousin marriages can cause in their children & asked if she was not worried about that. Shockingly, she said he had assured her that there was absolutely no problem with genetic problems in offspring.
    Honestly, this is common knowledge so having a medical doctor say this, is incredibly disturbing. Glad he wasn't my doctor.
    But as this is a culturally accepted practice in some countries, esp. pakistan, means you risk being called anti- this & that. BS. It is almost abuse to future offspring. It is so sad 1st cousin marriages continues even with modern scientific knowledge of this.

      Generally such marriages every 3 or 4 generations wont cause that much harm. The harm comes when the marriages start consistently keeping up with such: in other cases even such marriages can actually pass 'Good' traits to the offspring.
      Though, it should be known that widely practicing such will lead to unintended consequences over many generations. So, I think you may be misunderstanding that such marriages are not causing these genetic defects themselves, but later down the line if it is to continue, that is when you see those defects.

    In Uganda , incest of any form even with a distant cousin is not allowed , its a taboo . We have totems but even with out blood relations , you can't marry a person whom you share a totem with.
    In that way , incest has been prevented in Uganda.

    I'm from Algeria. My cousin got married to her first cousin, which means their mothers are sisters. They have three children and none of them is healthy. They were born albinos suffering from weak eyesight and some personality disorder. What is striking for me is that nobody in the family thinks that it's because of their close blood that their children are suffering. People keep on denying the facts by lying to themselves !!!

It is very hard to change people's minds but thankfully there are many people nowadays who find it wrong !! And i am just one of them ..
