Is first cousin marriage allowed in NZ?
Tilly
is in NZ regarding first cousin marriage.Initially I was doing some
research on inbreeding in dogs but then got on to inbreeding in humans
which I know
I couldn't find any info regarding this here.
It has destroyed dynasties and effected the royal houses of Europe . For
the last 1400 years since the prophet
allowed first cousin marriage it has become commonplace in many Muslim
countries.
In the UK 55% of Pakistanis marry first cousins , however in Bradford
the rate is much higher , more 75% of Pakistanis marry first cousins in
order to keep wealth within the family .
Despite warnings about the dangers of inbreeding most Pakistani families
are refusing to heed the cautions, even when their own children have
serious genetic disorders. They blame other things for such disasters,
eg. doctors, prescribed drugs, ir Allah's will etc...
It has been disastrous in terms of their offsprings health. In the UK
even though Muslims represent only 3.4% of births nationally, the
incidence of recessive gene disorders from the group accounts for 30% of
all births nationally.
In Bradford they have identified more than 140 recessive gene disorders
amongst local children.
In the UK Pakistani families are 13 times more likely to have family
with recessive gene disorders.
NB: The article is written by a Dane so it mentions the effect
inbreeding is having on the Muslim community in Denmark.
Muslim Inbreeding: Impacts on intelligence, sanity, health and society
Massive inbreeding within the Muslim culture during the last 1.400 years
may have done catastrophic damage to their gene pool. The consequences
of intermarriage between first cousins often have serious impact on the
offspring's intelligence, sanity, health and on their surroundings
The most famous example of inbreeding is in ancient Egypt, where several
Pharaonic dynasties collapsed after a couple of hundred years. In order
to keep wealth and power within the family, the Pharaohs often married
their own sister or half-sister and after a handful of generations the
offspring were mentally and physically unfit to rule. Another historical
example is the royal houses of Europe where royal families often married
among each other because tradition did not allow them to marry people of
non-royal class.
The high amount of mentally retarded and handicapped royalties
throughout European history shows the unhealthy consequences of this
practice. Luckily, the royal families have now allowed themselves to
marry for love and not just for status.
The Muslim culture still practices inbreeding and has been doing so for
longer than any Egyptian dynasty. This practice also predates the
world's
oldest monarchy (the Danish) by 300 years.
A rough estimate shows that close to half of all Muslims in the world
are inbred: In Pakistan, 70 percent of all marriages are between first
cousins (so-called "consanguinity") and in Turkey the amount is between
25-30 percent (Jyllands-Posten, 27/2 2009 More stillbirths among
immigrants"
Statistical research on Arabic countries shows that up to 34 percent of
all marriages in Algiers are consanguine (blood related), 46 percent in
Bahrain, 33 percent in Egypt, 80 percent in Nubia (southern area in
Egypt), 60 percent in Iraq, 64 percent in Jordan, 64 percent in Kuwait,
42 percent in Lebanon, 48 percent in Libya, 47 percent in Mauritania, 54
percent in Qatar, 67 percent in Saudi Arabia, 63 percent in Sudan, 40
percent in Syria, 39 percent in Tunisia, 54 percent in the United Arabic
Emirates and 45 percent in Yemen (Reproductive Health Journal, 2009
Consanguinity and reproductive health among Arabs.).
A large part of inbred Muslims are born from parents who are themselves
inbred - which increase the risks of negative mental and physical
consequenses greatly........................................
Would a ban on inbreeding by Western governments be the answer ? Maybe
not since many ofnthem would return to their country of origin to marry
and then return.

Which, I think, compound and progeny of cousins intermarry.

one Maori girl related that it was a common belief in her crowd that
cousins couldn't get pregnant, and that line was used by one of her

In closed Ashkenazi Jewish populations ( Charedim)
the strict concept of random mating does not apply because matchmakers
introduce couples from their own group.. The net effectis similar to
consanguineous marriage, with a higher frequency of community-specific
inherited disorders.
In Israel and the US Ashkenazi couples intending to marry are strongly
encouraged to have genetic testing for automal recessive genes .
Diseases such as Tay-Sachs, Gaucher disease, canavan disease,Fanconia
anemia and Neimann -Pick , are all disease which are serious and often
fatal and which occur more frequently in Ashkenazi Jews.
In the Charedi community where marriages are arranged by matchmakers
(but the marriages are not forced) the individuals are tested
anonomaously using a code . The Rabbi views the results by code and if
both people carry the same disorder the Rabbi informs them that the
marriage may not take place.The rate for Tay-Sachs has now fallen below
the rate for the normal population.
Since this seems to work the obvious thing would be to have a similar
programme in countries where cosanguinous marriages are commonplace ,
but the financial cost would probably be beyond their means.--

yes a lot of women in this situation do manage to either escape the
family which is often difficult with the close family links extending
far, but what about the guys, a lot of them don't want to marry the
one betrothed, no one seems to ask them how they really feel.

Inside or outside those legal limits the risk can be mitigated by
genetic screening.

Provided there are no genetic problems, there should be no problem with
first cousin marriages. But it would be as well to have some kind of genetic
tests or counselling first.
Is it close enough to be called inbreeding?
Years ago, most country people in Britain married folks either from their
own village, or neighbouring villages.
That might be a problem after several generations, as many people would be
related in some way, and carry the same genes.
As for the Royal families of Europe, Queen Victoria passed on haemophilia
through her daughters. (Males may be affected, female aren't but can carry
it).
The Russian and I think the Spanish royal families had it. Edward VII
fortunately was male and not affected, so Britain's royals are free of it.
I wonder if any descendants still carry it.

Inter family breeding leads to strong positive characeristics as well
as
bad ones...
in this global world i see a whole lot of variance in who people
choose to
have family with.
This is positive.... middle eastern cultures have a propensity for
internal
marriage... as they sit astride Africa Asia and Europe there must be
a fairly big gene pool...
so both approaches are not mutually exclusive.

I was under the impression that first cousin marriages were illegal in NZ.
Mind you it is probably too late - at least for those of us of UK descent!
Prior to about the late 19th century most people there spent their entire
lives in the one town. In most cases several generations of the same family
stuck to the one town. This of course drastically reduced marriage partner
choices. First cousin marriages were rare (from what I have seen) but
marriage to more distant cousins was common.

We are talking first cousin marriages for generation after generation.

What strong positive characteritics are there in cosanguination apart

There is a big gene pool but they don't take advantage of it,

Can't they get a dispensation?
In the Bible a brother should marry his brother's widow. Are the children
considered his or his brother's though?
Seven brothers married the same woman, one after the other. Whose wife is
she in heaven? See Matthew 22.
Can a woman marry her divorced sister's ex husband? I knew a girl who wanted
to do that. It seemed it would be allowed if her sister had died, but not
before. Is that right? It seems a temptation to family murder!
Remember the old song "I'm my own grandpa"?
A man married a widow, and his father married the widow's daughter, as I
remember the song.

Provided there are no genetic problems, there should be no problem
with brother & sister marriages. The problem is in the proviso. We
have no way of determining with certainty that the interbreeding of
two people will not lead to some recessive defect surfacing.
But, then, there is no way of ensuring that the mating of people as
unrelated as any can be will not result in some disastrous mutation.

That is where Onan got into trouble. The "Sin of Onan" is generally
considered to be masturbation, but that is not what Onan did. After the
death of his elder brother, without children, the Lord directly ordered
Onan to have sex with his brother's widow. But Onan knew a bit more
biology than the Mosaic Law. He knew any child he fathered in the next 3
months would be considered his brother's and would inherit his brother's
estate ahead of him. So he came up with the idea of practising the
withdrawal method during that time.
That is why the Lord caused the earth to open up and swallow him, for
the ultimate biblical sin - being a smart-arse.

First cousin marriage is permitted in virtually all Western countries
except the most primitive - ie, some states of the US.

I have been told by a very reliable source (but kept it quiet until
the appropriate thread came up) That Gwegs mummy walked in on him
playing blow up dolls with his cousin, the problem was that then, as
it is now, the cousin was quite a few years younger than Gweg, his
mother was sooo angry as she had also found him whacking one out in
the bath one night, that she grabbed his little weaner, pulled it out
until he begged, in tears for her to let go, then produced a massive
cleaver and threatened to cut it off if ever he touched it again, or
touched another persons as he did with his cousin. This would more
than adequately make sense given his (apparent) sudden predilection
towards all thing male, members and bottoms, if you have been here for
as long as I have, you will realise his self confessed outing "I have
outed more paedophiles in this group than anyone else" of anyone who
dares to upset his tiny little yet very warped mind.
He yearns to complete what he began with his much younger cousin,
hence his obsession with homosexual males, and he loathes what his
mummy did to him, hence his loathing of lesbians, or any woman if you
follow the thread right back. Because his mother cut him off in his
prime (pardon the pun) he now truly believes that all homosexual males
are child molesters, burning with fury inside and out that he never
got to feel the final outcome of his abuse on his cousin, who btw was
far to young to know what was happening. He over compensates as I am
sure you can see from his posts, and really, someone should have put
him out of his misery years ago, bugger all this political
correctness, he only obsesses (without continuity) about my sexuality,
because I called him on his abuse of young men as far back as 1993,
pre Internet in NP. If you really believe he will tell you the truth,
ask him why he was sacked as Janitor for the (then) local Polytechnic,
if you dont wish to ask, but are up for a laugh, just Google names and
alias's and occupations.
I have a sworn affidavits in a secure setting in town, of not just one
of these much younger men Gweg encountered and abused, not even
connected by same age, class or subject. Now the question still
remains unanswered, because giving away the punchline is no fun, the
unanswered question is what type of abuse has been sworn to, and who
by?
He will more than likely come up with numerous names and possible
accusations, followed by lashings of justifications, polished I might
add, but probably barking up the wrong tree even then, in a pathetic
attempt to cover all his guilty secrets, but I hope he doesn't,
because I know for a fact, he cannot even recall the names or faces of
the guys I have the documents of. He is much older than me, yet he has
looked the same since at least the 80's I suspect all of his life
(adult)
All in time, now someone did point out that my rants were quite
disturbing, may I suggest that anyone who feels this way learn how to
filter my posts out, because the reality these documents hold, and the
other not so young men (now) who did not put anything in writing, but
have never forgotten their encounter with Mr Mop, will one day
surface, maybe in this group, maybe not, but as I swore way back in
the mid nineties when I heard the allegations for the first time, then
was presented with proof of more than one instance, I would never
leave this piece of scum alone, until I saw justice served. it is
only a matter of time, not by my choosing, but ensuring the co-
ordination of people, documentation and evidence is presented to the
right people at the right time, this I have no control over, so as I
said if my "rants" disturb you, ignore me, as Gweg claims to do, yet
another lie I have proven to be. But if I was Manager Scooter, I would
be the last person to piss off right now, I gave him every chance of
meeting in private, but in a public place as he fears me so much, yet
time and time again he ignored my invitations, so as some would say,
it is in the lap of the Gods, I guess some would ask, is it the right
gods, the Bahai Gods that he believes in, of the God of creation
deliverer of truth and purity according to CK?? or Gods we have yet to
learn of, Who knows, so I will just wait, and wait and
wait.............................. gosh, look at the time, Must file

True but it's not forced marriage.
According to the Independent In the UK approximately 17,000 women p.a
are victims of forced marriage.
When two cousins have children, the risk of having a handicapped child
is doubled and it is reflected in UK
health statistics.In areas where there is a concentration of Pakistanis
the stats show that Pakistanis havea much higher rate of handicapped
children than other groups.

testing ?

Yes, but how many would take advantage of it if they believe handicapped

Geopelia
They are no more different from the rest of us than natural platinum blonds.
Both have to be careful in the sun.
Why shouldn't they breed? It isn't a dangerous condition. And unless their
partners also carry the gene, the children probably won't be ginger, though
they may carry the gene to their descendants.
"Dangerous human mutants" belong in science fiction.

They could breed with anyone they like and just chop the kids leg off if
that is what they wanted.
Tilly
These marriages are frequently pre-arranged when the couple are
children and the mmarriages are often forced ie.they have no choice.
Geopelia
Ideally, all couples intending to have children should have genetic testing.
But that might be too expensive as a routine check.
However, they should be aware of any genetic condition in their families
which could be passed on to the children, if both carry it.
e.g. Cystic fibrosis is one.
Genetic testing would be advisable if something like that is anywhere among
the blood relations.
What are two carriers to do, if they want a child who is the child of both
of them?
Perhaps IVF and having the embryos tested before implantation? Again, the
cost may be too high.
Or simply abort any affected foetus, if it is possible to do genetic tests
on one.
But they are human beings with human feelings, not experimental animals.
victor

John Cawston
The original prohibition by the Catholic Church out to the fouth or even
seventh degree was to break down tribalism and petty wars between
families. So young men and women who married outsiders effectively
became hostages to improved relationships with wider groupings.
I suspect that this practice helped unite the various European tribal
groups so well they were able to mount increasingly formidable
opposition to Muslim incursions and was a factor in the development of
loyalty to the nation rather than the family.
The Church gradually relaxed the prohibition over the centuries to now
when all but first cousin marriages became accepted. At that point the
Church dug in its heels because in the still rural world there was the
strong prospect of corruption (of young girls) by cousins who either
lived under the same roof, just down the street or across the river.

The high incidence of Tay-Sachs disease in Ashkenazi Jews and the
subsequent success of screening programs is an example of the benefit of
using science rather than prejudice dealing with closed genetic groups.

Of course, but this is their traditional way of doing things.

There must have been considerable income potential in the sale of
dispensations for consanguinity in the fourth degree (first cousins)
because there was a lot of it.
Tilly
Correct , but community leaders particularly Rabbis were/are very
involved
in promoting genetic testing for Ashkenazi Jews, particularly to the
ultra-orthodox
who still have arranged marriages .(not forced marriages as either young
person who
is matched can opt out ). Since they don't have TV's etc......they
don't have the same access to information
as the general Ashkenazi population.
What would probably be required in the Pakistani community and other
communities where this is the norm is that community leaders and
religious leaders get involved. Unfortunately some of them thhink it is
'God's will'.

Then they will be less likely to seek treatment, so you can take some
relief that the cost to the health system might be less than for secular
mutants.
Tilly
I wasn't just referring to Pakistan, it is very commonplace in much of
the Middle East.
Cousin marriage has often been chosen to keep cultural values intact
through several generations, ensure the compatibility of spouses, and
preserve familial wealth, sometimes via advantages relating to dowry or
bride price. Other reasons may include geographic proximity, tradition,
strengthening of family ties, maintenance of family structure, a closer
relationship between the wife and her in-laws, greater marital stability
and durability, ease of prenuptial negotiations, enhanced female
autonomy, the desire to avoid hidden health problems and other
undesirable traits in a lesser-known spouse, and romantic love. Lower
domestic violence and divorce rates have also been claimed. Many such
marriages are arranged and facilitated by other extended family members
Among British Pakistanis most marriages are transnational and have the
effect of bringing in another Pakistani under the constraints of British
immigration control. In one small sample, 92% of transnational marriages
were with either first or second cousins.
