Yesss, it's very common not only in Pak but in South India too... I am from South and most marriages either in Islam/Hindus happens among cousins.. Genetically, problem arises if we marry first son of a family with first daughter of other family.. Other than that, it's not a big deal here especially in Islam

In telugu ppls case, marriages happen only between bhai and behen ke bachhe ,bhai bhai ke bachhon and behen behen ke bachhon mein shaadiyan nhi hoti hai.

It's the same in Kerala. Cousin marriages happen only between kids of brother and sister only. But cousin marriages started being rare during my parent's time itself and now it's almost extinct. None from my mother's or father's side married their cousins. I never came across anyone from my generation who married their cousin. Even for me my cousins are literally my brothers. When i introduction them to someone i simply say they are my brothers and not cousins.

Not sure how common it is in real, but it is too common in the serials, I have not watched a single serial except for zindagi Gulzar hai that did not marry the cousins together.

I guess it's too common in pak dramas simply because that's the only way they can show the girl and the boy meeting before marriage. Most stories have them staying at the same house or have access to freely roam around each other's house. In kuch ankahi bilal's character will end up being sajal's tenant and in aik sitam aur the leads were step brother and sister even though not blood related. I have seen so much cousin marriages where the leads grew up together that I found step siblings who didn't grew up together to be better than blood related cousins getting married 😆. Yakeen ka safar, zindagi Gulzar hai, udaari, pyaar ke sadkey etc are few good dramas with no cousin marrige or love story.

Btw Pata nahi kyu….baithe baithe I started laughing remembering ki Yumna has worn this light gold chain in almost all the shows she has been in, since the ones she was in with Zahid. Bechari used her own chain 😁😁😁

Kahin aisa na ho, agle serial mei hero kahe, Yaar yeh chain Wahaj ne already jod diyaa hai ….

Like I said I am thoda mental, ignore me please

Historically, cousin marriages took place for two reasons - to keep all the wealth within the family and secondly girls never got out so for their safety, boys within the family were chosen.

In Hindus, these reasons were applied, as long as it was within the gotra system. In the gotra system, intermarriage within a family is prohibited if the two members descend from a common mythical ancestor. So weirdly, in Hindu families the gotra system was to increase lineage - broaden the influence of one gotra into another, which is complete opposite of keeping everything within the family. This was not about wealth, but about everything, intellect, wealth, inspiration and aspirations. In fact, in Hindus any marriage is not preferred within the gotra. So many times cousins marriage doesn’t fit within the gotra rule, except in cases of second cousins which only exists in very very few communities - such as Malayalam and Telugu speaking comms.

There is enough scientific proof to state that children of first cousins have risk of recessive genetic disorder, but not conclusive in the case for second cousins.

That said, in this time and age, frankly it is a bit of an eye roll. My friend who is Telugu tells me she gets so annoyed when in most Telugu movies the automatic is second cousins marrying. Again, this must come down to how girls must have agency - they should be allowed to choose.
