Do Pakistani Muslims avoid first cousin marriage as much as possible

[Kompromat]

Absolutely, I was quoting a post which apparently tried to assume a moral high ground.

Morality is variable between cultures, its better to respect others for their differences and move on.

Well atleast we dont practise such disgusting practices..

Yes we don't practice disgusting practices such as marriage between cousins or uncle-niece where I come from.

Why would Muslims in India do cousin marriages to please Hindus? Makes no sense.

Hindu (as a religion) is strictly against family marriages like cousins/sisters etc, and the scientific proof of doubling the chances of birth defects is a pretty damn good reason. There are villages in N India where you are not allowed to marry a girl in the same village even because there s a thinking that if you go far back enough, everyone from the same village may have once been one family.

Its good for them. In Pakistan first cousin marriage is widely practiced, and in some soci -o- economic quarters of our population it is the first choice.

I don't disagree with you, why don't you say the same thing to your countryman too whose post I quoted.

This is an open board,where everyone sees the writing on the wall.

I think the query has been answered.

The issue has been discussed multiple times already.
