Are you shocked Gani married his cousin and has a kid?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Research has found children from first-cousin marriages are more likely to
suffer birth defects and developmental problems.

3 days ago Wes Streeting The Health Secretary called for an apology after an
NHS website suggested there are benefits to first-cousin marriage, despite the
known increased risk of birth defects.

He said “First-cousin marriages are high risk and unsafe, we see the genetic
defects it causes, the harm that it causes.

Research, including from the long-running Born in Bradford study, has found
children from first-cousin marriages are more likely to have speech and
language difficulties, less likely to reach a “good stage of development” and
have more GP practice appointments.

I’m not shocked he married his cousin, no. It’s quite traditional for families from Southern India.

I am shocked he’s married though. He didn’t give me married vibes.

especially when he casually said he was having gay sex for 2 years prior to getting married to a woman!

I can’t speak for him or people of his heritage, but I know people from families of that heritage that have been disowned by their families for being gay or refusing to an arranged marriage.

The way he was speaking about it, he sounded like he’d caved to his family’s wishes and is now trapped and lost. He seemed very dejected.

[Vicky.]

A bit shocked he's a dad, but only really because parents usually make a song and dance about it which he didn't do. Marrying your cousin sounds iffy tho but I think it's normal in Indian culture

This is the UK

It should not be tolerated and costs the NHS millions

[vesavius]

It seemed to me that he leaves his cousin wife and kid at home while he goes out and does his bi thing?

The whole thing seems pretty degenerate to me. It seems like he just leaves them at home while he goes out shagging whoever?

But, yeah, cousin marriage should not be normalised in the UK. Not all things are ok just because they happen in another part of the world.

[Niamh.]

Did he say it was his first cousin? Obviously not normal in Western society but a pretty normal thing in India I think. Obviously I wouldn't be in favour of it but it's normal in his world and what he would have grown up with

[bots]

I don't believe it's illegal to marry your cousin here, probably because our royal family did it all the time. When Charles married Diana that was seen as a break with tradition and them widening the gene pool. It definitely seemed to have some mixed results :laugh:

he grew up in England didnt he?

[MTVN]

It's actually not all that common in India and is mainly concentrated in certain regions and certain peoples. It's much more common in Pakistan and in Muslim families generally

I feel sorry for his wife tbh, he clearly has no affection for her and it doesn't seem like he has that much for his child

[Niamh.]

Did he? He has an Indian accent though (says he from India in this article below)

…he said in his bio that he’d like to be known by millions and he sees BB as an opportunity not only for his personal growth, but also to help build the future of his personal brand…he also says that he loves his wife and child and would like to stay married…so many choices that he’s able to explore and in terms of his bi-sexuality and relationships as well, maybe…?…



…I do so much feel for his wife, I have to say…because she was also in an arranged marriage and I doubt that she has or ever would have similar opportunities for ‘personal growth…’…and everything he hopes to achieve in life goals…

[Ammi]

…I think from my understanding from articles in quotes that Gani is meant to have made…he’s said that he’s fine/happy to stay married in that commitment but that his wife has to accept his lifestyles/his ambitions/his goals and paths etc…I can’t see an ‘us/we’ in that marriage…I can only see me/my/and whatever I choose…

…oh I just said that before I saw your post…

[Cherie]

Not shocked he is married to his cousin, but shocked he has a wife and child as has not mentioned them, would love him to stay tonight but sadly I dont think he will

[thesheriff443]

Basically a dirty cheating bastard treating his wife like a doormat

Not shocked. Marrying first cousins is rife in Asian communities, as are defects in the children they produce as a result.

Gani .. making a song and dance about something

Surely not ..

Well considering his ‘back story’ I don’t see his ‘brand’ becoming one known and loved by millions … not even close.

Didn’t he also say something about working or associating with Dua Lipa as well - I don’t see that happening either .


I really don’t care at all for what I heard to be honest and he seemed to be putting the blame for a lot of it on his father

It's not illegal in the UK bots.
There are concerns as to possible health issues with children but first cousins CAN marry legally in the UK.

Yeah I assumed he was single and I didn't know he had kids either.

[Barry.]

I couldn’t marry my first cousins,, I’d find it icky,.

I also thought he was single. Wonder what his parents think of him going for seconds with someone else

Didn’t he say he was bi? I thought he’d be out clubbing in gay bars. Maybe not but I thought he said he was.

Oh I thought you meant he was flirting with someone in the BB house for a second lol. It's possible he was just out clubbing but not actually doing anything,who knows.

Didn’t he say he’s spent the last two years exploring the gay sex world .. some in here felt sorry for his wife …

Wasn't that before he settled down though ?? :conf:, it sounds as if he's happy with his wife now .

Don’t think so

I thought he said he’d like to get back with her he was telling me someone his situation and explained about the forced marriage to his cousin.. .. then said he loves his wife and son but then said he been exploring his bisexuality the last two years..

He sounded completely confused tbh

I must have misunderstood him .

I know he said his dad pressured him into the marriage, sounds like it was an arranged marriage. But he said he wants to stay with his wife

…my own understanding of what Gani has said is that he loves his wife and son and would stay in the marriage if she accepts him for who he is…his bisexuality, his career aspirations etc…a ‘this is me/take it or leave it…’….type deal…not a partnership of working together as such…

Jesus that’s asking a lot isn’t it !!??

He wants her to let him back into the family bed with him still sha**ing complete strangers ( gay men at that) - can’t see her wanting her son to be involved in that kind family set up

The dude is going out at night to shag blokes, leaving a probably very traditional wife at home with his child.

Take it or leave it? It's not that simple for her...

"There is still significant social stigma and shame associated with divorce in India, particularly for women".. Let alone the pressure of their families.

I actively dislike this man. He is a selfish degenerate that everyone seems to love cause he does some Indian dancing.

Also, and this isn't in response to you Amni at all, the rationalisation of first cousin marriage that I am seeing 'because that's how his culture does it' is nasty. Inbreeding is not a good thing. At the very least it puts the child at much higher risk of deformity. I don't care if it happens elsewhere... That does not make it ok to happen here and it should not be accepted under some false idea of 'multiculturalism'.

I think I was the only person that said about his culture lol.

I never said I agreed with it though, I was just pointing out about his culture/heritage/family. I do find it odd.

The consensus on it is changing in India now and it’s becoming less and less acceptable. Shame arranged marriages are not also becoming less acceptable.

I am also completely bemused at Gani’s popularity given his dodgy backstory plus his penchant for messing around with his feet whilst chatting to others then going into the kitchen … also seeing him scrape his half eaten meal back into the communal food plates made me retch ..

Yeah, it's mystifying.

[Mystic Mock]

It's different cultural backgrounds tbf.

But it's not for me, let's put it that way.:laugh:

[Maru]

I mean, if anyone is worried about karmic payback for some of the things he said, he was released from the house the day after the bulk of these comments were made to the public. So that means he gets to go home to freshly created wounds and recently released articles to boot... isn't that just grand?

So there wasn't even any time between those comments and his eviction, so that means no other episodes for the strength of those comments to "normalize" either in the public eye or the eye of his family possibly. He isn't going out to a large group of supporters that he can effectively use as a shield. He's going straight into obscurity (likely) and will have to live with the consequences of whatever was said in the house.

I do agree with you personally.

However I do think that we have to remember that Gani's morals will be different to the UK's in certain areas because he does come from a different culture.

And tbh, I'm just glad that it weren't anything worse, as you never know what BB might put on their Show.:laugh:

Honestly? I don't make allowances for that. If a practice is backward then it is backward, and inbreeding is backward.

There are definitely English speaking people on there with worse scenarios than Gani's unfortunately.

I'm just glad that BB didn't pick any of those ones.:laugh:

No.. No, I have never been to that sub lol

I mean, English is a pretty widely spoken language, so I will just assume that the vast majority are not actually English :joker:

One of the downsides of the internet is that it normalises some really degenerate views by giving them an online home so that they can reinforce each others awfulness.

You might have a point tbf, I'm probably being presumptuous to assume that they're English speakers natively.
