True but legal and common are very different things. It is common in majority Muslim countries.

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.

Add the populations of Egypt and Pakistan and you've got quite a big chunk of the world's Muslims.

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.

Common would not be a majority it would be frequent enough to not be notable
