The guidance – which incredibly points out that it has been allowed in Britain since Henry VIII passed a law enabling him to marry Anne Boleyn's cousin Catherine Howard – says that cousin marriage offers benefits such as 'stronger extended family support systems'.
The practice, which is common in the British Pakistani community, has been linked to a greater prevalence of disorders such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease.
Figures show that up to 20 per cent of the children treated for congenital problems in cities such as Sheffield, Glasgow and Birmingham are of Pakistani descent, compared with 4 per cent or lower in the wider population – and treating these problems costs the NHS billions.
The guidance, released by NHS England's Genomics Education Programme, argues that 'although first-cousin marriage is linked to an increased likelihood of a child having a genetic condition or a congenital anomaly, there are many other factors that also increase this chance (such as parental age, smoking, alcohol use and assisted reproductive technologies), none of which are banned in the UK'.
It claims inter-marriage offers benefits which include 'stronger extended family support systems and economic advantages (resources, property and inheritance can be consolidated rather than diluted across households),' and that as banning the practice would 'stigmatise certain communities and cultural traditions', the authorities should instead offer 'genetic counselling, awareness-raising initiatives and public health campaigns'.
he NHS guidance also argues that 'marriage between first cousins, known as consanguineous marriage, has been practised for centuries across many cultures'.

My Polish cousin tried it on with me as youths. I think she got in a lot of trouble since she was a couple of years older. That was Chicago, Humbolt Park, circa 1960. At least I learned some Polish that Summer staying with my aunt and uncle.
UK pediatric wards are jam-packed with children with birth defects, mainly of ‘asian’ decent.
Seventeen US States (with DC, PR, USVI and American Samoa) allow first-cousin marriages without restrictions.
Nine others allow them with certain restrictions.
Only KY, NV, OH and WA disallow first-cousin once removed marriages.
Now the Brits are advocating incest.
Britain is over.
Inbreeding is what makes them so crazy.
Because the UK needs more mentally/physically deficient people to spend their taxpayers’ money on?
The article is long but accurate. I can sum it up for you in one sentence. “Because of political correctness the British NHS approves of increases in birth defects and mental illness.”

At this point all you can do is throw your hands up and say, “Inshallah.” (Sarc)
Now that’s funny-
I’ve been to Londonistan recently again. It really is true. Over run.
Sick!
No....they support incest and child rape and this is walking into the ocean. Throw these people in the ocean.

Actually, that would have the reverse effect.
There is a natural aversion to mating with people (regardless of any possible consanguinity) with whom one has lived in the same household or otherwise closely associated with in early and mid-childhood.
Not saying that what you have written didn't actually happened - but it would have been stupid of them to engage in that practice.
