I am touchy about Interfaith Marriages!
Since i married a Christian Woman (she accepted Islam before marrying and now learns Islam for indeepth Knowledge and better understanding) and i know about the Islamic Teachings on InterFaith Marriages!

Munda, marrying a close relation does not produce below average IQ, unless IQ is inherited, and is genuinely a measure of intelligence. If it is, then both the related parents (I assume a single low IQ one, and a high IQ partner), would not necessarily produce low IQ. Complicated indeed.
A very below average IQ statement of yours. Are you descended from closely related ancestors?
First, I do not want explain biology how genes become old and badly affect further generations if marriages are done in close relations or small group in society.
There is one examples available in India where one of the religion which has produced best people in business and academics now struggling due to same reason, there is a debate going on to allow marriege outside community.
Second, there are other examples I gave pro to interfaith marriage like increase tolerance in society, eliminates the dowry system and above all most important point there should be freedom to take one's life personal decisions.
Though I can given a proper answer for above statement, but it will out of context to this thread and create flair. Its also below my dignity.
Hope mods will take care of you. Be on toipc...........

Your assertion that gene replication is different in the two groups (close relations and distant relations) is extremely erronous.
Perhaps it would increase tolerance amongst the weak minded members of society. I couldn't care less who marries who, or whether people want to marry identical looking people to them. That's not a sign of tolerance to me.
How would it eliminate dowry anyway? Dowry is a Hindu practise is it not that results in dowry related crimes against women?
Freedom yes, totally agree. Noone should feel compelled to marry someone from the outside or feel compelled to marry someone from the "inside".
I applaud your dignified unbiased and above all ethical response. You are above it all.
Genes get old?First, I do not want explain biology how genes become old and badly affect further generations
even if she wouldn't accept Islam there would be nothing wrong with it.
Genes get old?
Dude the issue with genetic defects is that our DNA consists 46 chromosomes. Of which 23 are from the father and 23 are from the mother. These 46 chromosomes should be different.

Hi, research has indicated that inbreeding results in offspring with genetic disorders.

God, what's wrong with some of you? Are you this uncultured to not know anything aside from how many rounds an AK-47 can fire? My post is same as yours, though the risk of disorder is higher, it's not overly so, and if done properly, it doesn't have to be higher.
This is not a problem with the genes of the person though. Whether they marry a distant cousin, or a closely related cousin will not matter, all that will change is how that bad gene show itself in the phenotype.
From WIkipedia:

Inbreeding depression is reduced fitness in a given population as a result of breeding of related individuals. Breeding between closely related individuals, called inbreeding, results in more recessive deleterious traits manifesting themselves. The more closely related the breeding pair is, the more homozygous deleterious genes the offspring may have, resulting in very unfit individuals. Another mechanism responsible is overdominance of heterozygous alleles leading to a reduction in the fitness of a population with many homozygous genotypes, even if they are not deleterious. Currently it is not known which of the two mechanisms is more important. In general, populations with more genetic variation do not suffer from inbreeding depression. Inbreeding depression is often the result of a population bottleneck. Inbreeding depression seems to be present in most groups of organisms, but is perhaps most important in hermaphroditic species, most prominently in plants. The majority of plants are hermaphroditic and thus are capable of the most severe degree of inbreeding.

You can provide a hundred more, you'd still be wrong. I only read the first link of yours to see what you really meant that came out all wrong. QUOTE]
Question is close relation marriage is good or bad? Do not take few words from my post, take the meaning. From the first link I provided giving some quotes. Also read the third link, it may open your mind.
A cautionary note
In societies with a tradition of first cousin marriage, many
couples are often more closely related than first cousins are and
consequently their risk may be significantly higher.
Now I am bore to explain you that close relation marriage and tradition of marrying in small group is not good.
