This only happens when inter-cousin marriages are practiced continuously for several generations, which I do not think is common in Pakistan or elsewhere where inter-cousin marriages are allowed. Preference is given to cousins for various reasons but it is not an absolute requirement.This study would disagree. It was done in UK, Bradford.
