what exactly are these supposed benefits? the article doesn’t mention anything that couldn’t be gained from marrying someone you’re not related to, and then not having the chance of disabled children.
“And marrying a relative – fairly common in the Pakistani community – can offer ‘economic benefits’ as well as ‘emotional and social connections’ and ‘social capital’, the document says.
It adds that staff should not ‘stigmatise’ predominantly South Asian or Muslim patients who have a baby with their cousin, because the practice is ‘perfectly normal’ in some cultures.”
Yeah don’t think of the quality of life the kids will have, focus on the social capital the cousin fuckers will get.
Isn’t this the same guidance that the NHS apologised for and removed months back…. but now reheated by the Daily Mail and GB News for reasons I cannot possibly fathom?

If anyone goes to a NHS hospital for baby scans and it is established the parents are cousins, there should be an automatic opt out for any NHS treatment relating to abnormalities/deformities from incest for life if the parents wish to continue with the pregnancy.
So this was debated months ago and the advice withdrawn.
The key here is the source, ask yourself, why would this newspaper want to say this…
The facts are that it’s no more risky than older mums for example. And obviously no one is going to ban that. So it’s purely about cultural preferences, in this case, Islamophobia.
Yet another example of us regressing as a society to try not to offend a certain portion of people who don’t share our values.
I will believe this actually happened when I believe pigs fly
Daily Fail recycling old moral outrage. I guess January must be a slow month.
If people want to understand why this happens, I think I can explain it.
Islamic inheritance laws distribute assets far down the family, including to spouses of children etc.
So if you’re a farmer, and you want to make sure your family livelihood stays within your family and isn’t diluted, you’re encouraged to marry within the family.
Of course it’s still wrong but this is why people do it.
This type of sh*t is why Reform are going to do well come voting day
Dirty and horrible. Glad our tax money is being spent wisely on not only giving this disgusting advise but also correcting the no doubt countless disabilities they’ll have throughout life.
This country is a mess and needs to get a grip on what should be acceptable.
Why would midwives need to be giving marriage advice?
> The document, used as training for midwives, states that ‘discouraging cousin marriage is inappropriate’ and would be ‘alienating and ineffective’.
It is probably true in regards to the bit about effectiveness. I don’t think people are going to a midwife to decide who they should marry. That decision has already been made before midwives are involved.
The stock images on these articles are always so funny. This is the first one I’ve seen that shows a traditionally not Western couple so fair play.
Call me racist but dont fuck your cousins.
Even Shelbyville weren’t this blatant about marrying their cousins
If you marry your cousin and have an abnormal child as a result of the union, is the rest of the country liable for the lifelong care of the poor offspring you so stupidly brought into the world?
I will fully back and support privatising the NHS unless this massive disgusting act and waste of tax payer money is banned.
If labour won’t, then their lies of protecting the NHS has to come to an end.
Deformity from incestuous relationship is a massive strain on the NHS.
Imagine hvaing millions of options and your best chance is a cousin, holy crap.
I mean, how many of those cousin marriages are truly voluntary? Those countries aren’t exactly beacons of human rights, particularly with respect to women and children.
The “it’s normal in some cultures” argument is a fucking disgusting argument. You can use it to justify so many absolutely evil practices.
