  1. Even in Qatar, the practice of inbreeding is banned. Yet it’s allowed in the UK for cousins, despite all the evidence pointing to the detrimental effects.

    How this is even a discussions is beyond me.

  2. I can’t believe it’s 2024 and we have to tell people that bonking family members is not okay.

  3. I’m sorry but you’re racist if you think first cousin marriage is unhealthy. /S

  4. I am very close with someone who works with high autistic children and the ‘school’ is overwhelmingly made up of 1 ethnicity…

  5. Marrying cousins is also about control and patriarchy which is not forward thinking.
