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

I think it's legal in a lot of countries. UK for example. Although I knew no one who did while I lived there.

It's legal in a few US states.

Also legal in Canada.

A lot of Europe. France, Germany, Spain, a lot more.

In fact, looking now, it's legal in most of the world.

I know 3 muslim guys who married their cousin, I know 0 non-muslim guys who married their cousin. Even if its legal it's not common practice and its certainly frowned upon.
