As More Countries Ban First-Cousin Marriage, Why Does the UK Still Allow It?

[Sky727]

I am hard pressed to understand why this issue is anyone's business other than the people involved.  Marry and love who you want.

That is true as long as they stay in their own country and culture. But come to the west and expect the tax payers to support their stupidity and medical bills for a lifetime of medical issues is stupid and certainly not fair. Many if not most of these marriages are arranged ...Love not needed...

One that you didn't want to see was TFBUNDY.

Do Muslim countries allow 1st cousin marriage?

Google AI Assist says 'yes'.

It's a bit odd to allow it.
