I had clients who were half siblings. They couldn’t understand why their children were low IQ, had physical disabilities and a couple died. Oh, but they loooved each other, sigh.

I read a lot of novels from the 1800’s. Seems like marrying your first cousin was a thing. Of course, they’re novels, and I doubt if science was a part of their research.

My in-laws were first cousins. I had an ancestor who married a first cousin in the 1700’s.

Odds are you'll get away with it if your temporally extended family doesn't try it too often. Otherwise ... you end up like European "Royalty" ...

Inbreeding is indeed a Muslim phenomenon. (Caution: black is no data. Darker shades of blue are highest prevalence.)

“ The NHS says it just wanted to have a dialogue about incest as part of an important democratic discussion.”

Disingenuous, pandering, and in true liberal orthodoxy attempts to erase yet another binary good vs. bad comparison of cultures. No, it’s not good to marry your relative. No, your cultural norm DOESN’T MATTER, and no, the rest of the civilized and enlightened world DOES NOT have to accept your way of life.

Each day it seems the UK is racing towards a total collapse of society, human rights, sovereignty, and sanity. Their so-called King is failing his people, and the ripple effect will be on free trade, mutual defense agreements, etc.

They need a Thatcher or a Trump to wake everyone from their socialist stupor quickly.

Such marriages favored by Islam. Islam owns Britain.

There is a list in the bible that tells who one should not marry. I don’t think that it lists first cousins.

You’re not unique. There’s a lot of shock and horror on the topic in this thread. But go back 4, 5, 6, 7, 8+ generations, and I can pretty much guarantee that *everyone* on this thread has cousin-marriage in the woodpile. People were engaged in farming and were stuck living in rural areas in small villages, and options for marital partners were limited.

With that said, we’re living in a different world with easy mobility and access to a huge pool of potential partners. As such, there’s really no excuse for sticking in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Considering the history of the “British crown”, of COURSE they’d say marrying your first cousin is okay.
