[@noct1x657]

I’m from a pakistani family, and my mother’s friend in the UK married her first cousin. They have two children, one which is heavily mentally disabled and the other blind and also mentally disabled. I find it completely sickening that they decided to have kids, but my mom and much of my family in Pakistan sees this and somehow is ok with it. I get that arranged marriage to family is the easiest traditionally islamic way to go about a relationship, but when you are ignorant of the risks of incest and decide to have a kid with your cousin anyway, that to me is morally reprehensible. The culture has to change.

[@KhalidSiddiquii]

I can relate to almost everything you described, as I also come from an Islamic background and your neighbouring country. I have seen my relatives marrying their sons and daughters to their first cousins, which, to me, seems so strange and even shameful. However, none of them seem to care. The only reason they continue these practices is that they have been passed down from generation to generation. Luckily, their children are healthy and beautiful for now, but they are still young. I just hope they don’t suffer for actions they didn’t choose. Personally, I don’t want to marry a first cousin, and I feel that leaving my community behind is the best option once I am fully independent. It’s sad that the people who really need to see this video likely won’t while those who don’t need it will.

[@madinam7532]

​@@KhalidSiddiquiimind-blowing! I never heard of that. Why is this tradition so popular? What are the reasons behind marriages among relatives? To keep wealth or why?

[@KhalidSiddiquii]

@@madinam7532 From my perspective, there are several factors behind marriages among relatives Firstly, as the original comment stated, cousin marriage is considered the easiest Islamic way to go about a relationship. In Muslim culture, it is not viewed as something unusual or inappropriate. This practice is particularly common in third-world, Muslim-majority countries such as those in the Middle East and South Asia. Although cousin marriage originally was from Arab traditions, it later influenced South Asian cultures. Apart from this, the primary reasonn in my observation is that marriage in these cultures is not just a bond between two individuals but a bond between two families. This familial aspect makes cousin marriages more appealing. Also, wealth could also be a reason though it may not hold as much significance. But first-cousin marriages can lead to inbreeding depression causing genetic defects. Despite this, people in these regions often lack a clear understanding of the potential consequences. Even when aware, they may avoid questioning the practice because it aligns with Islamic teachings, and challenging these is considered a sin. That is why cousin marriages are rarely condemned, even in light of their potential risks. Sorry for writing this large paragraph, I had some free time :)

As a Pakistani I can easily tell that she has completed limited education in Pakistan, hence her trust in the medical system is significantly less.

It makes everything complicated, and childhood isn't fun either because the parents won't let you play with the opposite sexed cousin because you might get married to him some day.

[@krashd]

The key word was "trust", in their culture a stranger wouldn't lend you money or help you fight a battle but a family member, even if you've never met them, would do so since you are their kin. It is something we have lost a little in the west since many of us no longer even speak to our families or even care for our elderly, if anything we have reversed it in the west as we seek to create our own family and leave our parents and siblings behind. As Peter said, we are more likely to form bonds with strangers to create our own groups but in older cultures the family name is stronger than any other bond you can have. That is until someone dishonours the family name...

Braeden Lotz they have 6 children in total and 3 of them which are healthy. I am not excusing their behaviour/actions. I also believe they should have stopped after their first child. However they are ignorant and don’t want to face the fact that they are to blame for their children’s conditions. They thought that their subsequent children won’t be affected, not realising that they are high risk, because they are both carrying a faulty gene 🧬. They should have gone through genetic counselling.

[@439bananas]

@@SuperA1507 Well, you would have hoped that knowing that the parents were related, that genetic tests would have been done following the birth of any disabled child and the parents told the outcome and appraised of the likelihood of having more disabled children. I was born in 1969 and there was a disabled kid in my class at school. He was odd-looking, he looked like he had Aperts Syndrome and had been born with his legs on back to front. He had an older brother that was also affected and a younger sister too, their mother also had these facial characteristics. His older brother came home from work ill one day and went to bed, he was found dead in bed the next day aged 17/18. My classmate was also found dead in bed at the age of 22/23. Both brothers were found to have heart defects and after the second brother died their mother and sister were found to have the same defects and were successfully treated. The whole family had vast amounts of treatment over the years, you would have thought that after having 2 children with the same disabilities that they would have figured that more would be a likelihood. My classmate was not Asian and so I don't know how the disability arose with his mother, but it was inherited. Things are too PC these days and you can bet your bottom dollar that if there was the public campaign that there ought to be to put a stop to first cousin marriages, it would be branded racist when in fact all that any sane person wants is to protect the resources of the NHS and the welfare state by simply avoiding the creation of individuals whose lives are absolutely blighted by the sorts of conditions seen here.

@@paigex4052 as a person who lives in Iran that unfortunately has this culture, I think nowadays it's mostly because of Islam culture that most boys and girls don't allow to have a relationship without marriage and they unconsciously pushed to fell in love with their cousins that they grownup with. luckily in Iran, this culture mostly disappeared but it's not illegal yet.

@@charliesmith_ I don't understand why, evolutionarily speaking, the desert would create black and white thinking to a greater degree than, say, savanna or the taiga. The desert is harsh and difficult to survive, but the same is true about literally every other environment. Even in a place where food is bountiful (ie. a jungle), you'll have more parasites, diseases, more humans living in a smaller area to compete with, etc. It's just as difficult to survive. Or compare the desert to the tundra: both are harsh, have extreme temperatures, low population, not much food. You'll find plenty of narcissistic black and white thinking in every culture. For example, medieval Europe. Plenty of inbreeding there too...
