I never claimed that EVERYONE in subcontinent marries cousins, all I asked was "why people do". A foolish mistake does not have to be committed by EVERY single citizen to be pointed out. South Indians do that right? And what percentage of Indian populace is South Indian? I would consider it a...

CJO - Abstract - The failure of a scientific critique: David Heron, Karl Pearson and Mendelian eugenics That paper isn't even considered scientific by the REAL scientific community! =D

So many Indians talking about Gotra, are they trying to play me for a complete jackass? Even from a wiki reading, I could understand this "gotra" system quite well. Say your gotra is X, your dad's gotra is X. Your mom's gotra before her marriage was something DIFFERENT from X [By your own...

So basically what you are telling me is that, EVEN if science proves something CONCLUSIVELY, you will refuse to accept it, just because it's conclusions are deviant from your faith's philosophy? I never wanted to make this a religion thread. I actually thought that marriage between cousins...

Is this true?

Underage marriage is a TOTALLY different thing. I am talking of intra-family marriage.

Also, I am not assessing by the moral yardstick, I am assessing by the scientific yardstick.

Arre baba! I am also from Pakistan :( Racially, I am a Pakistani. But I am not so enlightened regarding these matters.

I am not imposing my views, I am discussing. Plus, if intermingling of gender is so bad, then what Khadijah and Prophet Muhammad[PBUH] did is also wrong. Correct? You are in Illinois? Are you working or studying? If you are working in a decent company, you would have known that male-female...

Such a nice article, thanks bro! :cheers:

So you are telling me that marrying across your mom's family side is less dangerous than dad's family side? If that is what you are saying, then you are wrong my friend. Basically both practices tantamount to inbreeding or incest.

Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] worked for Khadijah right? And later they got married. Why is it wrong to 'date' then? What's wrong if you like a co-worker/friend? Or if you date [Date is nothing but eating out or socializing together] them? I can understand if you are against Pre-marital sex, but...

WOW! Favored?? Are you serious?

Gotra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Interesting! But according to your talk and what wiki told me, you and your mom's brother will have different gotra right? So you can still marry your mom's brother's son/daughter? I don't know of this North-South India Business though.

Interesting. With Royalty, I think it's done so that the wealth remains 'within the circle'.

So they basically inbreed if there are no other 'options'? More like a failsafe?

For what? For lying over the internet/telephone? :O Dude? Guess what? People lie a LOT in internet/telephonic relationships. They LIE like CRAZY.What makes you think that Shoaib or that Indian Businessman dude did not lie to that fatass b****h across the phone/internet?

I said subcontinent, not India not Pakistan. So please answer my question. I think that its a prevalent practice in India to marry their mom's brother's kids. I think in Pakistan too such marriages are permitted, coz one of my friends got married that way last year. I did not ask him about this...

All those jackasses that indulge in phone-sex or internet-sex with unknown women deserve to be pwned this way.

Tried it like 12 years ago. Basically, how this works is that, Mentos has tiny pores in them, that allow co2 in coke/pepsi to form bubbles.
