I watched a documentary about this and it followed a few families, they have many children. One family, one woman had several children most had passed due to inbreeding afflicted genes like, a type of anencephaly where they are born with partial skulls and only a minor brain stem. Some were born with malformed limbs and spinabifida. She didn't want to marry her cousin but it was the tradition of arrangement because they believe that a new member of the family should also be close family because an outsider wouldn't be "emotionally invested" like close family is. Good lord the living children she did have weren't meant to live! She had one that was blind, deaf and had physical anomalies, that child stayed in the house all day in a low high chair of sorts, just existing. Another one was mobile but mostly blind and deaf with violent tendencies. She was stuck with her 4 existing living disabled children to look after all on her own, the husband/cousin was never seen in the documentary but she said its not his job to look after the kids, only to create them. He wanted to keep trying for a "normal" child, it was so hard to watch, she was so miserable, the kids seemed to be as kept as she could muster, it was apparent they were very poor and oppressed. I can't imagine the shame that comes with not being able after years and years of birthing, not to produce a "normal" child so the insanity could finally stop. I'm sure she was finally happy when menopause hit and her childbearing years were finally over, but she has the rest of her life to take care of the 4 invalids she brought forth that actually do live for no purpose, joy or productivity. They don't believe all these issues are because of inbreeding... science is hard? Practical, physical evidence through generations is not proof? THEY DESERVE WHAT THEY GET AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE BREEDING THEMSELVES OUT OF EXISTENCE WITH FEWER AND FEWER VIABLE COUSINS TO MARRY AND BREED WITH. Perfect example of "you reap what you sow"

As a pakistani , the reason i have heard on why inbreeding is so common is because of a weird culture we have where once the daughter gets married she has to leave her house and live with her husband's family who are complete strangers to her and these people can often turn out to be horrible , so just for caution the parents think it'll better for their daughter to marry into their own family so that atleast they'll be safe (although this doesn't always turn out to be the case) , so as far as i have seen and heard from the women around me , most aren't interested in their cousins romantically its literally just for safety reasons (just my perspective)🤷‍♀️

They didn't look typical of other people of the region. I didn't state categorically that they were. Just a suggestion they might be.

For all they know, you could be telling them that their great great grandmothers were graped by Yunani people(that's what we call Greeks). This isn't necessarily as much the case in urban areas. I myself am a Pashtun like my father was too but my mother is Tanoli and speaks Hindko as her native language. I hardly know anything about Pashtun traditions or my genealogy(just till my great great grandfather on my father's side and that his patrilineal ancestors came to Pakistan from Afghanistan in the late 18th century). In a span of a 1000 years, I could possibly have ancestry from several ethnicities(Persian, Arab, Turkic, Mongolic, Punjabi, Balochi, etc) but I don't know.

[@michaelcaffery5038]

@@ibrahimihsan2090 personally, I regard pride in ones lineage or tribe, along with the idea of racial purity, to be the root of racism. It allows the holder of such views to treat others as lesser beings. Think of the British Raj. The thing about their ancestors being abused is a very strange attitude. How does that make them look bad? Surely any guilt is to the people who do that sort of thing. If they do have any European ancestry it might not have been through violence. It sounds like people of the region really have a sensitivity to the suggestion and racial hatred. Btw, the people who replied to me almost certainly were not from that particular line/tribe but other Pashtuns. Like you, I have a mixture, fairly typical of Britons, of various western European people. Brittonic people, Anglo Saxons, west Europeans, particularly French, Scandinavian and Irish. Particularly from the Scandinavian line I am almost certainly descended from slavers and grapists (I hate KZbin censorship so much!) and the victims of such.

@@michaelcaffery5038 Buddy, you have probably zero concept of tribalism. I don't like it either but tribalism is a thing amongst a significant portion of rural areas in Asia. Somewhat similar to the South in the US. I don't exactly know what you mean by racial purity in the Pashtun context. If you mean that they refuse to accept that other ethnicities are part of their family tree then I sort of am familiar with that. Turkey has a similar problem where they believe they come purely from Central Asian nomads despite the fact that they are genetically as Central Asian as Messi is Indigenous Argentinian and are of mostly Middle Eastern(mostly east) and Anatolian(especially central and western) stock. Otherwise, I don't know what you mean. A certain number of Pashtuns may have similar feelings about their ethnicity and while that can overlap with racism in several aspects, it's not as simple as that. People have varying opinions about this kind of stuff where I am from. Some are blood purists whilst some are proud of having foreign ancestry(especially if Arab, Turkic, Persian or if believing in some 16th century genealogy theorized by some Mughal scholar, Biblical Israelite) whilst others don't care that much.

You should speak to someone in the U.S military intelligence who do this sort of research. I have had many conversations with them that was eye opening.

You could tell there is something not right with those people. My friend told me that the Somali population is largely inbreed. Bottom line, many cultures are still living in what can be called in anthropological terms, The Mammalian-Mesomorphic state. That is, Herd Security. At some point in the ancient past, property and cattle was wealth. Many cultures are still within the pre-bronze/iron age thinking. In ancient times, Herd Security worked because it was farming, cottage industry, hunter and gatherer economy. I have concluded that inbreeding is tied into a very rudimentary economy.

Several Provinces in Canada (Alberta and Ontario in particular) actually had laws against cousin marriage unless they were 3rd or more removed cousins. Blood tests used to be submitted to ensure it. Unfortunately, the federal government of Canada changed the laws in 2008 to allow first cousin marriage all across Canada (most likely at the urging of immigration that culturally allows cousin marriage). Now, legally, first cousins, uncles/nieces, and aunts/nephews are allowed to marry in Canada due to cultural interference from immigrants. I say this as someone who has an immigrant parent (though their country doesn't allow cousin marriage).

[@kaneworsnop1007]

It's not just the Royal family in the UK, but the nobles/old money. When you meet a posh sounding person they often have the horse like facial features, the large top teeth (just think of the common posh person caracture). That's because all the noble minority wouldn't marry the common masses. So a degree on inbreeding occurred, due to a relatively small community. By looks alone you can often tell the differance between someone who is true old money and former nobility, compared to the industrial revolution old money as they are less inbred and were looked down on by the nobility. The royal family is then worse again as they generally married other royals, mostly to secure alliances with other countries, so even more inbreeding occurred. Fortunately its started to become slightly more acceptable for royals to marry people with slightly less noble blood, so their genetics will gradually improve. I cant remember if it is sickle cell or another genetic disease which is thought to be prevalent in the royal family due to inbreeding.

The region where my family is originally from in Ghana, this would be scandalous. Its also even frowned upon for siblings to marry into the same family. For example two sisters marrying men who are brothers or cousins from the same family. (I sometimes see "feel good" stories in US magazines about twins marrying twins and tbh it weirds me out). The traditional thought being is that not only the obvious genetic concerns of putting "all your decendant eggs in one basket" but also other things run in families too. So imagine all your kids are married into a family with other problems like binge drinking, temperment issues, or depression. Funny how our ancestors had a hunch that alcoholism, addiction, and mental health were genetic before science existed to prove it. It also helps avoid issues if that family is always fighting causing drama, are bad with money, or are just dumb/annoying lol. At least only one of your kids is "stuck" with them.

In the US, many states used to require people to take blood tests before obtaining a marriage license. That was the 90s. I don't know if they still do. Previously, it was not only done to check for STDs but more specifically to check for DNA compatibility. But often people already have children before getting married. But DNA compatibility was always a good reason to wait. You could end up falling in love with a lost relative.

[@Witchmee]

Damn.. they should do that when you start dating or something instead. Imagine you're about to marry someone and it turns out he's a long lost half brother or something.

Only 3 minutes in but I’ll take a stab in the dark: It’s a consequence of loneliness within the younger generation. Sure older Pakistanis also married first cousins, but younger generations are more inclined as it represents a means to escaping their loneliness. The reason why they would marry their first cousins rather than another Pakistani from outside the family could be twofold: one is that they may already be familiar with the individual and aware of who they are getting hitched to; second it preserves the family’s wealth.

I will correct you on some basic mistakes you made though - Muhammed never married his daughter in law, he married the ex-wife of his fostered son, who under Islamic law is not the son of Muhammed adopted or biological, because there is no such thing as adoption in Islam - there is fostering, and common sense dictates that if you foster a child, you don’t become the child’s relative and nor do the relatives of the child become your relatives. As for your “still a relative” comment, my comment did not state that Islam does not permit marriages between cousins - so this point is a mute point, this gave away that your reasoning for replying to my comment wasn’t genuine and sincere curiosity but a coveted attempt at maligning Islam or the Prophet Muhammed - which again, if you don’t believe in these two things, seems like a waste of your time because neither I nor other people reading your comments think that you are anything special for making the point - you are just 1 of the millions of other Indian people (I googled your name and realised you are Indian) who leave comments about Muhammed or Islam of this nature every single hour of every single day, by doing so you don’t make yourselves look progressive or modern or cool or “right”, it’s actually really rather pitiful, you talk about Muhammed more than the Muslims do - you are the biggest believer of Muhammed lol

In Pakistani society, a cousin is neither sister nor brother. In fact, there is a segregation of genders where cousins are not allowed to intermingle with each other. Arranged marriages are more common than loved ones. In Pakistani social structure, marriage is the union of families not the union of couples. There are problems of domestic violence and honor killings also which prompt the parents to marry their children in the family to secure their daughters so that if something happens they can control the situation. Thirdly, the Pakistani social structure tends to make their own family stronger and marriages in the same family strengthen the bond with respect to power and money in society.
