Okay Im asking this only out of curiosity,so please dont be offended in any way-cousins getting married,is it very common there? Ive seen it in almost every other show on zindagi and made me wonder.
I mean I know it happens here too,but its very rare. And I personally dont know of anyone who has married their cousin.Medically speaking,as far as I know,marrying within the family can give rise to gene pool defects,so its preferred not to marry within the family to avoid birth defects in off-springs.
in Islam cousin marriges are allowed not compulsory ,marriges out side family also allowed
no restriction at all
the only basic rule is the marrige should be done as per boy & girl wish
families prefer marriges inside family because they want there childrens to be infront of there eyes as most of them live in joint family this is one of the famous reason i've always heard
marriges inside the family is also done to save there family wealth from apportionment as per Islamic law girls also have share in parents property
but now a days after the medical advansment there are families too who done all the medical tests before the cousin marrige to avoid medical complications
cousin marriges are still found in muslim communities some are done as per parents or family wish & poor boy & girls are compelled to get married
& some cousin marriges are done as per the boy & girl wish
in my family in my parents generation there are many cousin marriges all of them are done by family wish surprisingly all have a great married life there childrens are grownup we are cousins now
in my generation there is only one cousin marrige which is done as per the boy & girl wish surprisingly the parents were not agreed & it was totally a filmy situation where both the boy & girl turned the sky & earth up down 😆& finaly got married & now blessed with 2 cute baby girls & living a happy married life
