I have seen maps/charts to that effect but can't confirm.

Nah Jamat and BNP are vote bank friends but they are different group. Jamat has no influence on BNP. and BNP won't share power with Jamat if they ever comes to power. As I said Jamat is nobody, only notorious for 1971 since then they are not so effective except their organized student wing which is limited inside Institutions .
Plus BNP is a secular party, most of its leaders are less religious than Awamileague. Mostly consisting of Hard drinker businessman. BNP-BJP is a wrong analogy. I personally found the Hasina workers more mosque going than BNP wallas , they come from the rudimentary level.
It is also common in some Middle Eastern and East African communities in the country, and in the UK’s Bangladeshi community, nearly a quarter of people marry their first cousins.
Research shows the number of cousin marriages has risen dramatically in the UK over the last three decades, mainly between British Pakistanis, but also between first cousins in the British Bangladeshi community in which nearly a quarter of people marry their first cousins, and in some Middle Eastern and East African communities.
I wouldn't bring the U.K. Bangladeshi community into the discussion, I don't want it to turn into a regional thing but 95% of the Bangladeshis here are Sylheti, who tend to be significantly more religiously conservative than people from other parts of the country, explaining their above average tendency for cousin marriage.
I would turn up a few links of what cousin-marriage has done in India, but I'm apparently not at the post level where I can include links in my posts. Wasn't there a boy recently who was born with a monkey tail? And who the Rishis in their everlasting wisdom declared an incarnation of Hanuman? I'm sure his genetic history wasn't too heterogenous.
Do you have any explanation on why your half of the country tends to find blood relatives more easy on the eyes or not?
You are wrong on this account. Cousin marriages are not against the law, but we do not see any such marriages in BD. At least, I have not seen one. It is prevalent in a country in your west. By the way, can you entertain us by divulging which community accepts a horrible marriage between a man and his niece born to his sister. Do not you really think, this kind of marriage creates a weird kind of DNA among the people of that community?INDIAN civilisation is free from ills like inbreeding unlike Bangladesh where generations of cousin marriages has caused permanent damage.

Ughh... I can't believe I wasted 30 minutes deciphering that pdf. Where does it say 50% incest marriage in BD? I see 10% cousin marriage, 8% non-cousin relative marriage. Please quote your info please. Whereas in the same link the author says in India incest marriage is from 6% to 36%.Uh huh, there is a special marker on the previous maps for Sylhet? A splotch of scum and villainy in the midst of totally progressive BD?
Whenever its something you dont like being exposed about BD people.....THEY ARE SYLHETI.
Did you even care to look at the study (top link). Look at the data at the end. It was taken from just Sylhet?

It knocks any supposed prevalence rate in South India out of the water. It is truly shocking how high it is. (around 30 - 50%...exact% depends on population pyramid... of sampled rural marriages in BD are with cousins/relatives - given BD is a highly rural country, the overall figure would not be too different.). This figure improves to 25% when BD people flee to the UK....but its still so darn high.
Thus lack of research/presentation on Bangladesh on almost any socio-economic issue does not mean extrapolation of (largely Hindu) North India to it should apply and that the situation is "A-OK". When there is more detailed data on such issues, a clear pattern emerges of BD society's ineptitude:
http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.ADO.TFRT?locations=BD-IN
Nor does the claim its "only Sylhet/sylhetis" hold any water as the initial study shows.
Obv BD govt is scared to do/fund a full scale study/analysis on the issue....given it would unleash interest into a myriad of other things too:

Best to hide in your ignorance and pretend nothing is happening.
Its a vicious cycle denial -----> perpetuate social problems -----> more denial etc.
BBS and BAL shelter you from some awful realities...you (foreign "elite" <---a relative word) are their hail mary attempt in keeping you lot believing their "progress" so you need not wake up to the reality and focus on fixing it which will upset the scam and unquestioned power/corruption structure they got going and are benefiting immensely from. Enjoy!
But don't expect to not be questioned on it by the cold hard facts that do get through the BBS/BAL filter about BD.

And in here (http://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FRIND1/04Chapter04.pdf) it also says Incest marriage in India is also as low as 3.4% (Rajasthan) to as high as 47% (Tamil Nadu).
I see 10% cousin marriage, 8% non-cousin relative marriage.
Historically inbreeded societies are considered no less than animals and socially outcast.
Why should Bangladesh be given any benefit?
Why is India allowing Hasina to swim in Chinese water?
Not Even Hasina Can Digest the Thought of Swimming in Indian Waters
Except the author explicitly states that, "For the purpose of understanding the incidence of consanguineous marriage in the MHSS data, we relyThat's of total male/female population.....not of married people.
It's a raw basic mean profile of pure segregation by male/female. Married (+married at some point) adults would be only a portion of that. You can confirm by looking at the rest of the data in that table.
Hence why I said it would depend on the population pyramid for rural BD.
Overal population pyramid suggests married/former married number of people in BD would be around 60% at most (assuming 100% adults get married):
http://www.indexmundi.com/bangladesh/age_structure.html
Let's assume it holds for rural BD. That means 0.18/0.6 = 30% blood-relation rate for rural BD. If the local population distribution is more skewed towards children, the ratio would be higher, hence why I said from 30 - 50% depending on the population pyramid.
Fits well with the 25% relation-based marriage taking place among Bangladeshis in the UK.
It has been and continues to be a problem in TN and south for sure given lack of awareness on the issue but it is improving over time:

The downslide is in plain view when the authors' research is compared with that of a study by A H Bittles, arguably the world's foremost expert on consanguinity. In a paper they presented in 2002, based on the 1992 results of the Family Health Survey, Krishnamoorthy and Audinarayana noted that 47% of marriage in Tamil Nadu were consanguineous. Bittles, in 2009, found its prevalence to be between 30% and 39%.
Its something that cannot reduce to 0 overnight (given marriages are somewhat long term phenomenon)....so a decrease like that shows people are getting the message and society is responding.
But this topic is not even really being explored in BD (as with everything thats uncomfortable that get the BBS/BAL treatment) so we have no real idea of the clear levels and how they are changing with time.....and your members are simply assuming the North Indian prevalence automatically applies to BD.....when the instances of what we see among Pakistani, BD and some Indian muslim people in the UK suggest very high prevalence of cousin/relation marriage back in their home societies.
I mean nowhere near 25% of Tamil people based in UK for example (or any foreign country) marry their cousins. Awareness transfer rate with education is good among Indians I find (hence they are doing economically and socially well in well educated environments generally) I doubt its even double digit to be honest, if you have any data on that let's see that.
But how does a 25% cousin marriage rate among BD people in the UK mean the situation is somehow a lot better in BD (given there is much lower education, awareness, social development etc)? Simply saying "they're mostly sylheti and sylhetis are the culprits" is a very BS thing to say. Not buying it....I have heard too much of the bad things about BD people being blamed on sylhetis just because they happen to be the ones that have emigrated more than the rest of BD in visible parts of the world.
Except the author explicitly states that, "For the purpose of understanding the incidence of consanguineous marriage in the MHSS data, we rely
on the section of the survey that asked men and women retrospective information about their marriage
histories. The complete sample includes 5083 married men, and 6068 married women at the time of the
survey. Information on first marriages was considered. For the purpose of our empirical tests however, we restrict our attention to a sub-sample of 4087 married women and 3357 married men who provided
complete information on age and education, marriage (including age at marriage, relationships to their
spouses, and payments of dowry), parental characteristics, parental assets, inheritances and inherited
assets, numbers of brothers and sisters (as well as their ages)." So all participants were married individuals. And also from the same document – "Estimates range
from 30–50% in Middle Eastern countries, 20‐‐40% in North Africa, and 10—20% in South Asia (Kapadia
1958: 117‐137; Naderi 1979; Maian and Mushtaq 1994; Bittles 1998; Bittles, 2001; Bittles 2008). There is
also significant variation within countries. In India for example, the National Family Health Survey 1992‐
93 (IIPS and ORC Macro International 1995) reveals that 16% of marriages are consanguineous
marriages, but that this varies from 6% in the north to 36% in the south (Banerjee and Roy 2002: 22).
Some new research also suggests that the practice is growing in popularity in Western countries, particularly in migrant communities (Bittles, 2001)." So it's not unthinkable for incestuous marriage to be so high in Britain.
Seriously I am disappointed @Nilgiri. Even you are susceptible to spread of misinformation.
