Re: Cousin Marriage … Islam Allows it but…
That made me chuckle.
Dates are considered one of fruits of paradise yet eating too much dates in this world can also give you a nose bleed. Same approach needs to be taken towards cousin marraiges, one of cases may get a pass but some families (especially from Mirpur/Azad Kashmir) have an open history of only cousin marriages which has been taking place for generations and generation. In some families, you would not a single case of outside marriage. Too much inbreeding is not sexy at all. More than the Ulema, it’s the Western authorities that need to considerably restrict (impose a ‘soft ban’ if you like) on cousin marriages because 99.9% of the time, one of the cousin partner is imported. I do not like this trend at all.
