It is estimated that at least 55% of British Pakistanis are married to first cousins and the tradition is also common among some other South Asian communities and in some Middle Eastern countries.
It isnt illegal in this country and in some areas used to be quite common. In more remote or inaccessible areas. It used to be a very common practice in Norfolk and the Fens, oops bad example i suppose with all the ****tards in the original local populaces there. So long as it isnt repeated too often throughout a family it wont significantly increase any risk of genetic mutations.

I class it as incest. They have the same blood.
