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'.

So now the Brits can become as inbred as the Muslims invading their country
First cousins marrying has a long tradition in the U.K. William and Mary were first cousins. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were double cousins, both third cousins as well as second cousins once removed.
When you marry your sibling or cousin in America, it’s called disgusting.
In the UK, it’s called Royalty.
What a Surprise!
Soon, “arranged marriages” to 12 year old girls will allowed “for the good of the children.”
They will call the legislation:
The Epstein Act.
So the British joke can be
“Where does the young British guy go to meet his future wife?”
“A family reunion.”
Fine with me. The UK will no longer be able to maintain their nuclear submarines.
Eventually, they will lose their capabilities to have a viable nuclear weapon.
Remember back in the '80s, South Africa had nuclear weapons.
Inbreeding - a great way to grow the Democrat base!
In a country whose royalty has embraced first cousins marrying this isn’t entirely suprising.

No one doubts that this group is an inbred lot.
Victoria and Albert were first cousins.

First cousin, no. Second or third cousin doesn’t seem as damaging to offspring.
Part of what makes genealogy difficult when your ancestors go back into the 1600’s in America is that cousin marriages were too common and your trees become convoluted and hard to follow.
New York society in the 1700’s used to have ways to avoid it by creating play groups that weren’t allowed to have close relatives in the same group. The kids grew up closest to people not in the same gene pool. Some fascinating descriptions of the times by a little Scottish girl who wasn’t invited to join any of the play group cliques, writing about her experiences in the world of colonial Schuylers.
do those first cousins include goats?
Islam is a war plan
When you marry your sibling in the United States, it's called getting a green card.
