MP calls for first-cousin marriage to be banned
BBC ^ | 12 10 2024 | Staff

A Conservative former minister has called for first-cousin marriage to be banned in the UK.

Introducing the proposals in Parliament, Richard Holden said the children of first cousins were at greater risk of birth defects and the practice should be prohibited to protect public health.

However, independent MP Iqbal Mohamed argued a ban would be ineffective and said these issues would be better addressed through education programmes to raise awareness of the risks.

Downing Street said the expert advice on the risks of first-cousin marriage was clear but indicated that the government had no plans to change the law.

Intermarriage produces more idiots too. IQ’s in Muslim countries with high levels of first cousin intermarriage are among the lowest in the world. IQ’s in Christian nations, China and other non-Muslim Asian countries are the highest.

Is this ‘a thing’ in the UK?

It sure was in Wodehouse. Several of the women Bertie had been engaged to were his cousins.

Of course a Mohamed argues against it.

People just aren’t aware of the inbreeding that happens in Pakistani Muslim families.

If they grew up together they should get along better. More stability.

As for the incest factor it’s a cultural thing so who are us westerners to judge?

Muslims are notoriously inbred. Pediatric facilities in the UK are overrun with muslim children with various genetic defects.

Both Queen Marys of England (Mary Tudor and Mary Stuart) married their first cousins. Neither had any children.

The Distinctive ‘Habsburg Jaw’ Was Likely the Result of the Royal Family’s Inbreeding
New research finds correlation between how inbred rulers of a notoriously intermarrying dynasty were and the prominence of their jutting jaw

My first thought was surprise that it wasn’t already banned ...

Then realized that, aside from the past hijinks of Royal Families, it probably wasn’t necessary to be banned.

Until now ...

Except when it’s been SOP for dozens of generations, concentrating a lot of poor quality recessives.

THE IS THE WORST PROBLEM IN THE UK THESE DAYS?????

It's part and parcel of their worst problem. Mohammedans bring all sorts of foul practices with them.

likely every single person in this thread has ancestors who bred with first cousins.

And maybe even siblings. Go back far enough, we probably all have an ancestor who was conceived during a r*pe. Human history is often ugly.

When it happens rarely, its not a problem. When it happens regularly you get Hapsburg Jaws, and other similar problems.
