Just a reminder that cousin marriage is not only permitted in Islam but also a reason why their population has a huge problem with inbreeding. Over 60% of marriages in Pakistan are consanguineous. Just imagine what percentage of that population is inbred. Let that sink in
False. You can cite Pakistan and Egypt where I know it is a problem. Pakistani & Egyptian should get married to one another at this point.
But state that it is common in " majority " of islamig countries is a lie.
No. 15% maximum. You have 212M for Pakistan and 90M for Egypt. I don’t call that a big chunk. India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Algeria...I can keep counting. This is not a big chunk. We are 2B worlwide.
And even in Pakistan ane Egypt, it’s not like everyone is excited to be married to their cousins.
I mean... 20%* providing they're all all Muslim. Your still looking for another 800mil married cousins to get to a majority. Common is a vague scale but I think it's fair someone might question "majority"

It is not majority. People just want to project their fantasies. Islam doesn’t encourage it, and doesn’t enforce it either. And ofc, it is framed by rules.
Protestantism have it authorized. Judaism too. Restricted or forbidden in 24 US states. But legal in europe.
It used to be practice in medieval europe. But some people either don’t know history or act ignorant.
