No, because that would lose them too many voters from a particular demographic.
I would prefer an educational campaign about the health risks to any resulting children. Outright banning is a bit authoritarian for my tastes.
Yes, but we know they won’t because it would be difficult, possibly violent and lose them votes.
How is this even a question. Ban it and get on ffs
Yeah, or perhaps block first cousin offspring from free NHS treatment…
Well it would stop some communities breeding themselves into Sterile Imbecility faster than the Spanish Hapsburgs so you know it might be an idea to consider.

I say let them cleft lip limp if they want to cleft lip limp
Consanguineous marriage, which in certain communities has led to inbreeding depression. Even in generous studies it doubles or triples the risk of congenital abnormalities. First cousin marriages are the cause of 30% of genetic disorders.
20-40% of child deaths are associated with this practice.
> It warns that, according to research, focusing on cousin marriage in this way stigmatises certain communities, undermines trust in medical services and causes couples to disengage from clinical support.
Don’t care. It should be stigmatised. Not only for the child’s health but also the fact the NHS and the SEND and DWP are paying insane amounts of money for something that never should have happened.
You could ban it but we all know certain groups would ignore the ban
They should but then I think 1st cousin marriage could be good for Darwinism.
Also, what will places like Cornwall, Devon and Norfolk look like if they did?
It should be banned. But even so, most of the marriages are probably not real marriages anyway so legally there’s nothing wrong.
Maybe make intercourse between them illegal, but even that’s not really enforceable. Plus this may already be illegal, I’ve just not needed to look into it because I didn’t fancy getting some from my cousin.
Wait, it’s not already illegal. Not something I considered but would have assumed it was. This is why society needs governance at all, unless you tell people explicitly not to fuck their family members they’ll be doing it, it would seem.
Yes clearly it should be banned as the risks are known and evidence proves the harm that is caused to the children.
Children born in marriages between first cousins have double the risk of congenital anomalies, a new UK study has found.1
Researchers followed 13 776 pregnancies in Bradford and found that 6.1% of children born to first cousins had congenital anomalies and that 98% of these children were born to people of Pakistani origin. This compared with a 2.4% risk of congenital anomalies in non-consanguineous marriages in the study (multivariate relative risk 2.2 (95% confidence interval 1.7 to 2.9) and a background risk of 1.7% in the UK population. The researchers found that the risk was unchanged when they controlled for socioeconomic status.

Yes, but also no.
Yes because come on, it’s obvious.
No because if it is banned, the danger is that the immigrant cultures that still do practice this regularly will just shift to non legally sanctioned marriages that will provide no protections for women if they do want or need to seek a divorce. So something also needs to be put into place that these fake cousin marriages are treated the same as legal marriages in the case of divorce.
Tbh, it would be rather racist to ban it. Shouldn’t we be more tolerant?
/s
Absolutely. Look how messed up the off springs are. One is even in the Epstein files.
Yes, and combined with a public awareness campaign about the dangers of it so that people in first cousin marriages take suitable contraceptive precautions.
The occasional cheeky cousin marriage probably isn’t even a disaster, but wouldn’t repeatedly marrying first cousins over the course of several generations end up being basically as bad as if siblings did it?
It should be. There’s no need to marry your cousin. Causes so many issues
Even if it is banned ( I know it’ll never happen) do you think that will stop their religious marriages? They’re already selling girls and sending them to that bastion of morality Pakistan. Do you think they take any notice of kuffar law?🤣
Eh? Since when has that been allowed? I wouldn’t marry my cousin, but that’s mainly because he’s a massive ginger AND MY COUSIN.
Yes.
First cousin marriage, the burka, and halal meat.
The UK should be no place for people from the most fundimentalist cultures to come settle. It should be hostile to them.
Labour would be shooting themselves in the foot if they done this, many of their supporters support this in their culture.
Personally yes it should be banned, no question about it.
Not the marriage I care about, it’s just a peice of paper at the end of the day. But if a child has a genetic illness and the parents are found to be cousins they should be going to jail for causing it, in the same way you would if they were siblings.
Well yeah, but the riots would see Bradford burned to the ground.
Yes they should. I work with people with immunodeficiency and a big portion of those originate from countries where cousin marriage is common. Multiple generations of cousin marriages can cause a whole host of genetic health conditions.
I just opened reddit ffs what is this question lmao
Ban it. I’ve seen multiple cases of ‘the prettiest girl in the family is forced to marry her richest cousin’
The rich male cousin basically doesn’t look beyond the attendees of last Sundays dinner to find a mate. He is usually a spoiled mummy’s boy.
The aunties aren’t much better, often calling dibs on a girl for her son, when the poor girl is only a year into puberty.
It’s despicable.
This should not even be a debate just read the below facts:
Over the last five years, a single NHS trust has spent £3.6 million treating the genetic defects of children born from related parents
Data from Born in Bradford (BiB) from 2023 showed that in three inner-city wards, 46% of mothers from the Pakistani community were married to a first or second cousin. Cousin marriage has been cited as the cause of 53% of all South Asian infant deaths from genetic disorders in the city.
There is not yet data for how many cousin marriages there are in Birmingham but studies suggest that 20% of infant deaths in the city are the result of genetic complications from birth, the risk of which is doubled by having parents who are related.
And how is it defended?
Independent MP Iqbal Mohamed defended the practice in the House of Commons. He argued that the Government should not outlaw cousin marriage and said that rather than “stigmatising” it, related couples who wish to have children should be given advanced genetic screenings. Mohamed also said that the practice can “help build family bonds”.
I guess it’s up to us the tax payer to help build those family bonds. Ban it and ban it now.
The Royal Family would be screwed as would the flag waving interbred racists
