There are certain communities, where such type of marriages occur but from what I have heard children of such couples may find themselves at risk in terms of medical condition and so it is not advisable to marry first cousin.

For me, well.. brother is a brother and you cannot marry a brother and bring upon bother..

Yes ur right its common in India and Pakistan and cousins are often seen marrying close cousins, either willingly or unwillingly. Well i think that if they want to marry willingly then go ahead however parents should not impose on them to marry his/her cousin as one would never able to like him that way especially if u have always seen him as a bro or a sis. 😊
