[@santosh1303]

I am from Karnataka and I can speak for almost all people who live in northern part of Karnataka. This practice used to be common till my parents' time but has reduced significantly these days. Main cause to stop the practice was that we as a society saw some health problems in children born out of such marriages. Not in all children but in few cases. To clarify more on what's cross cousin is. They could may their Mama's or Atte/Buwa's kids. Marrying Kaka/Chikkappa/Chacha's or Chikkamma/chikki/mausi's kids was strictly prohibited, no one even thought about it. I have not seen a single such case in my entire life. As of marrying ones niece: back in days people used to have lots of kids. So imagine a case where the eldest offspring was a girl and youngest offspring say 7th or 8th child was a boy. Now obviously there's a huge age difference between these 2 Sister and Brother. Now, it was very common that the girls used to get married in early ages. You can imagine this bride's youngest brother running around in her marriage in shorts with runny nose 😀 This sister used give birth to children very early. So now this Eldest sister's daughters and her youngest brothers were of same age and compatible for marriage from the age perspective. As you married off your elder sister to a different man outside your family, her lineage became totally different. (her kids Gotra would be different than yours). Hence marriages were allowed. Nowadays these practices exists close to none.

I'm a child born from a Consanguine marriage. My family in Kerala actually don't appreciate such a marriage, but in my case, parents fell in love with each other. I never knew much about the negative aspects of Consanguine marriages, so few years back I had fallen in love with my cousin as well, and we were in a relationship for almost a year. That is when I learnt about this and shared the information with her as well. I realised how lucky I was to be born without any abnormalities, and we mutually got out of the relationship. We were in love when we broke up. But we did it, only to avoid the risk of spoiling a child's life and also for a happier future. More people in South India should be educated about the problems of Consanguine marriages.

Risk of birth defects in consanguineous marriages is overrated. Risk is even lesser in communities that have practiced consanguinity for thousands of years and have inherited stronger genes over the years, not weaker genes. Don't take my word for it. Look up research. Not the one done on people from typically non consanguineous society, but are born out of consanguineous relationship.

[@atulyakriday3991]

I'm from Andhra Pradesh and I've personally experienced this issue. My paternal aunt considered me as a 'perfect bride' for her son and even my cousin was perfectly fine with the idea of marrying me (I'm seven years younger than him). They even proposed the match to my father. I was horrified because I always called my cousin 'elder brother' and to learn that he did have a romantic interest in me, when all while I considered him a sibling, sickened me to the core. My father rejected it without second thoughts as he was against cousin marriages having learnt in his late twenties about 'incest' and the resulting genetic problems in the later generations. Yay to father! My aunt was upset when my father rejected her and she even had the gall to say to my father "If you marry her into our household we'll take care of her. Since I'm her aunt, you can rest the fear that she might suffer under her in-laws. Also, the dowry will remain in our family without going to nameless outsiders." My father simply said "Bold of you to assume that I'll be offering any form of dowry," and the argument quickly escalated and the relations naturally strained after that. Even today my father and aunt barely spare a polite greeting at family gatherings. And me being awkward, I just turn opposite whenever I spot my aunt or cousin. I was the lucky case but my classmate from University was married to her cousin right after graduation. Cousin marriages are a common occurance in South India and regarded as normal and 'part of the tradition.' I'm glad that this issue is being spoken of. Edit: Incest is a common issue across religions and the people who practice this 'tradition' aren't even aware that cousin marriages come under incest. You see not all cousins can marry. I'm a Hindu and I can marry my paternal aunt's son and also marry my maternal uncle's son--these fellas are not technically adressed as brothers, they have a separate form of address so as to prevent any awkwardness later on if I marry them ( though my dad instructed me to call them as brothers from early age)but I cannot marry my maternal aunt's son or my paternal uncles's son(they are considered as brothers). I don't know if it's true but my mother said that the opposite applies for muslims. So, it's like everyone have their own rules for acceptable incest.

My girlfriend is telegu and when she first told me about this I was like "yuck". I won't lie but it took me some time to accept this as normal. Later she explained to me why this is practiced and finally i have normalized this to some extent. Even this video was suggested by her.

I am from Tamilnadu. Yes marrying cousins and close relatives is common in South India. In olden days the idea was to keep the property within the family.

As of now it has come down to a great extent in urban areas but in the rural belt it still persists. The biological implications of it for the children born out of such marriages is grave. Education and repeated reinforcement is the only way the society will give up such a practise. Any social change takes years. There will be a lot of resistance too from the conservative elements.

However her younger sister whose age was around 17-18 years was deformed and had a brain of 2-3 year old child, she couldn't even walk instead she would slither, she couldn't alarm her sister whenever she wanted to defecate or urinate and she couldn't even speak. I felt sorry for her and always questioned why would god make her like this. But recently few years ago i realised that her condition could have been due to her parents' cousin marriage.

I am a Gujarati married to a Kannadiga. My husband's brother married some sort of cousin (not aware of the exact relation) and when I first realized this, I was shocked. For me, all cousins are brothers, so I didnt understand how this could happen. Slowly I learnt that this is common in South India. My husband's brother has a son now who is 11 years old and my daughter is 6 years old. I can see so many health and a bit of mental issues in my bro in law's (BIL) son. It's sad to see the physical suffering of the child. And there are quite some mentally challenged children in my husband's family. More than the amount you would see otherwise in families. And I have come to realize its due to these cousin marriages. I once spoke to my husband about it, but he just brushed it aside. He was either embarrassed or didnt like what he was hearing. With science so advanced and evidence available that such marriages can and will lead to genetic issues in the progeny, I dont understand why people still follow this tradition? My heart breaks for my nephew who will always suffer health issues due to a mistake made for traditions' sake. And the cherry on top is, while nephew celebrates rakhi with my daughter, he does not with his bua's daughter cause she is a potential bride for him. My mind is just f u c k e d!!!!

Being a tamilian, I wanna tell some information. What is so called "cousin" is the name given generally by british to some relationship but in south indian culture we have many subdivision. Ex: your mother's elder or younger sister is consider as chinnamma/ periamma (small mother / big mother) but your mother's brother is consider as mana (thai mama), who is the most power relative next to your parents and his son or daughter can be married with you but here is one clause if you are a male you should be elder than your mama's daughter or you will be consider as brothers to her. If your are a female you should be younger than your mama's son or you will be consider as sister onto to him. Same to your father's side. Your father's brother , elder or younger is called periyappa/ chithappa (big father or small father) whose son and daughter are consider as brother and sister but your father's sister is called aththai and her son or daughter can be married to you and the clause said above is applicable to here too. Why this type of exist in south india? 1. Because those days they search bride or groom within few kilometers so that they can visit relatives home easily. 2. Unlike north india south indian bride enjoy more privilege, first year diwali, aadi month (whole 30 days), while she is carrying she will be taken to her mothers home to make her happy. First delivary will be at her mothers home. If it is her uncle or aunty's home she will enjoy double benefits. 3. Already the family is familiar with the bride or grooms family. 4. Both families customs, tradition and nature of job will be same , so adaptability to new place will be easier. 5. Most important thing is bride can have quarrel with her in-laws or to her husband hence in-laws are brother or sister to your mother or father and that can be easily gotten.

Yes thats what most people don't understand. I've seen fools telling me how a person was born out of cousin marriage and doesn't have any disease. Well duh! That's because he's probably a 1st generation child. There won't be any inbreeding problems in the 1st to 3rd generations but inbreeding depression will keep accumulating until it actually shows up as a genetic disease in the 4th or 5th generation. That's why we Bengalis compared atleast 3 generations of gotra and at max 5. Some Hindi belt people compare upto 8 generations but that is a little too excessive in my opinion. Upto 4-5 generations is the optimum amount. Neither too much nor too less. For example my own parents compared their gotras of upto 4 generations only. Not beyond that. I'm of the same opinion as them and if I ever were to get married I would compare 4 generations of gotra too. I myself am of Shandilya gotra

What Some of the southerners are doing is a result of the misinterpretation of Gotra system.

Correct...people are more matured and aware now

[@srinivasaprakashr]

I agree. Mohak's topic is good but there are some mistaken conclusions due to poor or insufficient research. Mohak needs to study the more in depth statistics to understand this intricate topic. I wish to give some points: (1) Consanguine marriages are not modern in India, it has dwapara yug examples also. Most recently evidence was found that all India is one gene, north/south or aryan/dravidian divide is politically motivated from British era to divide and rule. (2) Gotras concept is very much there in southern states also; hence to conclude anything through the difference of numbers between northern states and southern states (I doubt whether those numbers are correct!) is superficial. You could of course say that 50% is sa-gotra in first cousin marriage and it reduces to the second and tertiary levels. However, to prove that people of northern states have been conscious to avoid sa-gotra marriage, there is a need to delve into the statistics of second cousin and second uncle/niece marriages.

You only call your cousins as Brother and sister in Indo-Aryan languages (North Indian), Dravidian languages follow a whole different kinship system where parallel cousins are referred to as brother and sister but cross cousins have special words. Also the our words of Cross-Aunt/Uncle are the same as the words for In-Laws, for example both your mother's brother and your husband's/wife's father is called mama in Telugu. Same for words for your wife's/husband's siblings and your Cross-Cousins. Coming to the weird feeling thing, it is weird to you cause you grew up calling your cousins the same word and your siblings and considered them your siblings, in the same way we are always reminded (from childhood) that our cross cousins can be our potential spouses and also our media also shows a lot of romantic stuff between Cross-Cousins so it's kinda normal for us. If you go ask a Telugu or a Tamil person what they think on marrying their parallel cousins, they'd act the same way you are acting, disgusted even by the thought of it, as we grew up with a feeling that they are our siblings and using the same words we use for our own siblings with them, infact even parallel aunt and uncles are referred with the same word as our parents but with a prefix like big and small, for example parallel uncle who is elder than your father is called pedda-nanna/bapu (big-father) and parallel uncle who is younger than your father is called chinna-nanna/bapu,Babai (small-father)

@@bibinthomas5282 Buddy just because you've never seen doesn't mean it isn't there. Well I'm from a higher caste and this type of marriages are quite common in my circle(in my parents generation or before). And their stupid reason mainly is the same shitty castiest things. My parents are also cousins, though not direct but they are not that far away from each other in our family tree.

Well because that's goes against some people south india vs north india debacle.

@@bibinthomas5282 you might not have seen it but it surely exists, in hindu religion male cousins are called muracherukkan of their female cousins, which means groom. You might see it in a rather popular malayalam yt channel karikku, where there's a comedy skit about a person wanting to marry his cousin. I have heard about it from my hindu frnd as well

I'm an odia belongs to southern part of odisha where my mother and father were cousins. My mother was my father uncle's daughter. I totally agree with mohak's point of view.

That's fucked up. I hope you don't marry any of your cousin's.

Such marriage is very rare in Odisha but regions bordering Andhra like Paralakhemundi and Gunpur have some tolerance to this custom as they have absorbed many Telenga practices over the years.

[@dhitikabarua7677]

Because odisha'a culture resembles or closer to Dravidian than northern

i live in mumbai but have tamil origins. consanguineous marriages are a very common topic in my family and is very normal for my family members to talk about it and they make young kids to think their cousins as potential partners from a very young age . in villages they dont even let cousins talk to each other and when they are young enough to get married they are tied to the knot . living in mumbai it is very weird for me and i would never go for it

[@rahulbhaskar6790]

It happens all over the world except in hindu culture that is except for in South India. Cousins are not considered siblings. This is to keep the property intact. I don’t know what is so shocking about this fact.

[@Vidyavv636]

Because you are closely related and babies are often born with deformity or they definitely have some health issues having kids with close relatives is a bad idea

[@rahulbhaskar6790]

@@Vidyavv636 I know that but the information is not shocking. He is speaking as if he never knew about it. It is wrong but it happens. It’s not a rare thing.
