A cousin marriage is paddling in the shallow end of the gene pool, ask the Hapsburgs how that turned out.
Imagine being so backward that you want to marry your cousin!
Surprisingly people aren’t keen on incest.
Who knew?
Hope they do eventually make it illegal.
>British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are significantly more likely than others to say cousin marriage should be legal:
>White Britons: 8% (net -69)
>Indian Britons: 9% (net -68)
>Black Britons: 6% (net -76)
>Pakistani/Bangladeshi Britons: 39% (net -8)
there are articles on this topic going back nearly 20 years. it was deemed racist against the pakistani community if it were banned since it is an issue which affects that group in particular within the uk.
Absolutely not.
Heightens the risk of abnormalities, traps vulnerable people in forced marriages and is just stomach turning. There’s millions of people you can be in a marriage with that don’t call your dad uncle. Grim
Yikes of course not. Only a complete weirdo would want to marry their uncle/aunts kid.
Remember it’s rarely about love, it’s usually arranged. So, no.
>Cousin marriage [is more common among some South Asian minority communities in the UK](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c241pn09qqjo#:~:text=But%20it%20remains%20a%20relatively%20common%20practice%20among%20some%20South%20Asian%20minorities.%20In%20three%20inner%2Dcity%20Bradford%20wards%2C%20almost%20half%20(46%25)%20of%20mothers%20from%20the%20Pakistani%20community%20were%20married%20to%20a%20first%20or%20second%20cousin%2C%20according%20to%20the%20most%20recent%20Born%20in%20Bradford%20data%20published%20two%20years%20ago.), with a recent Born in Bradford study finding that almost half (46%) of mothers from the Pakistani community in three inner-city Bradford wards were married to a first or second cousin.
They don’t mention, though, that it has dropped from over **60%**.
I’d be more concerned about the possible health side effects of children, and the possibility of those people being forced into an arranged marriage than anything else.
Nope. There are enough backward, hillbilly types in the world already. We don’t need to normalise this!
Who’s planning on marrying their cousin? Why is this being brought up?
So 1 in 4 of us are pro cousin on cousin action?
I can’t believe that.
There’s a reason this is a big problem in Bradford.
Birth defects as a result of parents being blood relatives is a huge burden to the NHS.
https://borninbradford.nhs.uk/our-impacts/findings/babies-born-with-serious-conditions/
Not to mention cruel to the child and incredibly irresponsible on the parts of the parents.
Yeah, it’s pretty disgusting. I know old fashioned Asians still do it a lot.
Is it okay to fuck over your child before they are even born?
Is that actually the question we are dealing with here? Look, I live in Bradford which is now one of if not the most inbred cities in England. It’s not worth it, not even slightly. The amount of disabilities is astounding in some of the younger people that I talk too often because I’m young myself.
It should absolutely be banned and if you do it abroad you shouldn’t get a green card for your partner. It’s morally and biologically fucked.
FYI – it’s not just Asian people before the racists pour out. Bradford is 50% inbred and they don’t make up that much of the population.
Only if sterilized. The risk of genetic abnormalities is too high, then come the power dynamics. If there is no chance of children and there is no coercion or other relationship inequality, then it’s up to the individuals.
How many cousins have severely disabled children requiring lifelong NHS care? Answer: lots.
The 25% that say you should be are our friends from the sub continent!
Na they can all so Better tbf so I doubt it’s gonna be relevant for me.
Now give us the results broken down by demographics!
My wife, a pediatric nurse, sees a lot of syndromey kids who are the result of close relatives marrying.
It’s not currently illegal to marry even a first cousin, but also do you know if you happen to be distantly related to someone, you almost certainly are
Oh a list of things I care about, this is way down the bottom.
Will this make homes or food cheaper?
As an Australian I’m actually fully aware of what peoples are trying to marry their cousins in your country, lol
.. No.
The only people fighting for it really is the Islamic community. Before anyone tries to scream islamaphobia, or racism, I’m a Pakistani born in Manchester to Muslim.
All allowing marrying cousins will achieve is more arranged marriages, which is what happened to my 14 year old mother who married her cousin. He tortured and beat her until she ran away when I was born at 17 and was put into homeless shelters etc.
Firstly incest is just gross regardless, and I was born with a few problems. But there is 0 reason to tolerate first cousin marriages. Unless you’re Muslim of course 🙃.
Certain part of the population that loves doing this yet also claims moral authority over everyone via their religion.
The mind boggles.
No, why would you even want to. You have the same grandparents that’s minging.
More worrying that a quarter said yes or don’t know?!?!
Well, fair enough, 75%+ of people shouldn’t marry their cousins, but mine is well fit.
Got to safeguard the inheritance of my holdings in Aquitaine somehow.
Why would you want to unless your chasing that Hapsburg chin?
Didn’t know three quarters of Britons even knew me.
51% was enough of a majority before. Seems like a slam dunk, ban it.
But the Targaryens wed brothers and sisters for hundreds of years to keep the bloodline pure, why can’t I?
A significant problem with cousin marriage, other than genetic defects (as let’s be real the majority of them will have children), is establishing consent when as a little child you’ve been told you will marry your cousin one day, and everyone in your family does marry their cousin and those who don’t are ostracised (or subject to honour killings in extreme cases) – is it truly your free will and independent and informed consent that you did marry your cousin (often at a very young age)?
