Why do people in subcontinent marry cousins?

[jbond197]

i know that they bow to ALLAH ONLY. i wasn't talking about soofya i was replying to what the other person had posted because he had included Hindus and Sikhs.

Please spare Hindus and Sikhs in your debate. Carry on with what ever you want to discuss but please spare us.

The moral of the story WAS

Jhukna mien azmat hai.

Everyone should bow down.

Read the posts carefully.

Can we get back to the thread?

Consanguinity and susceptibility to infectious diseases in humans ? Biology Letters

Another research article that tries to draw a co-relation between Consanguinity and Immunity. Consabguinity = the magnitude of common genes. Therefore, father and daughter will be closest. Brother and sister next closest. First cousins next closest. Second Cousins next closest. So on.

lol hahaha I saw a indian guy in Uni he introduced a skinny girl as sister/cousin and by 3rd year they were married hey I have no problem with it PERSONAL account not a story

Again .. I don't say one form is better then other if not then why are there so many cases of

a) Asthma /Breathing disorder
b) Autism (learning disorder)
c) People like Bush/Dick Chaney

In US/Canada/Europe ..

Are they all in breeding too ? I don't think so

So please ... there is good and bad in both

Provided no one is FORCED into marriges that is the only wrong thing marrigaes should be concent of girl/boy and that is it

Dude if one example makes it generally acceptable for all hindus, then OK.

I've already said, its generally not acceptable, of course it happens in some places.

I am replying to main topic.... I read somewhere in my sister's Social science book that marrying a cousin/first relative is having problem with purity of blood... but simultaneously it stops evolution in sense of blood and DNA...

In north India, Hindus treat their cousins as sisters only but I heard in Andhra and other southern states of India, girl can marry to Mama (Mom's brother) or siblings from him... Please confirm if anyone knows..

 

[AliFarooq]

i heard that some place in india, uncles can marry their niece, is it ture or a myth?

 

[AliFarooq]

about the topic as long as they love each other, there shouldn't be a problem. For all those people saying their kids have genetics disorder. They should all search through their family and for sure some one in their family is married to their cousin and see if the kids have genetic disorders.

Yeah.. I believe in Andhra Pradesh they have this ritual.. Please read my above post..

It is not important with whom you marry. The important thing is You should get married
