Yeah its not incest. Words actually mean specific things.

If they aren’t in the direct family line, siblings, parents, grandparents, ...

19 states allow first cousins to marry. I guess they need to move.

Little known fact: Albert Einstein married his first cousin.

The percentage gets higher if it continues for generations among the same family members.

This is the argument pro-lifers use to try to prevent abortions that are being undertaken because of incest, even when it’s an uncle/niece or father/daughter or brother/sister.

The following is called the 'Hapsburg Jaw' and it is a mutation that happens to peopel that marry close relatives and gets passed along downstream:

IF both the cousins have the recessive gene, there is a 25% chance their hcild will get it

“While British Pakistanis account for three per cent of the births in this country, they are responsible for 33 per cent of the 15,000 to 20,000 children born each year with genetic defects.

Even their healthy children have a one in four chance of being a carrier of a defect, “

Pakis marry close relatives and have for ever, and it’s devastating what the kids go through who are born defective-

In that case they were marrying like that for generations.

Interesting. Perhaps it’s also a “class” issue in that no wealthy family wants their descendants to marry a poorer outsider.

Which is why the average IQ in Pakistan is in the low 80s.

Both look like Oriental Caucasian mixes. I’d say the likelihood of birth defects is extremely low. It takes many generations of first-cousin marriage for this kind of problem to manifest itself consistently.

My home state of New York allows first cousins to marry. The mobster Paul Castellano, among others, married his first cousin in NY.

I don’t have an issue with first cousins marrying

Shouldn’t be a crime

Along with the normalization of public indecency, like allowing people to defecate on the sidewalk. Clearly, vast numbers of people have no idea what a cholera epidemic will be like. Tick tock, tick tock......

In this case the woman had no say in the matter and was a very unhappy marriage.

I was talking with a very nice Nepalese girl at work the other day. She’s always super friendly to me.
She looks quite young. But it turns out she has two young kids.
I asked where she met husband...here or there. She said she grew up with him as they are cousins.

This couple is a bit much with their display of sexual antics for the camera.
