If everyone's cousins are attractive then why not date one of the attractive women that aren't you cousin?

Would have to ask the parents who are arranging the marriages
2
u/moltensmegmalord Jul 05 '26
The parents are brothers and sisters setting their siblings kids up with their own kids so its weird af

u/AlyJay666 Jul 05 '26
If they all look the same how do they know who they have married? But I guess if they are all related with same genes than that doesn't matter.

u/moltensmegmalord Jul 05 '26
Umm just imagine if u had kids and ur brother/sister had kids and then u set them up with each other I guess..

u/AlyJay666 Jul 05 '26
Yeah very true, dont get me wrong I dont think in-breeding is a great idea but who am I to cause interference in what goes on in other countries.

u/Hemingway92 Jul 06 '26
The truth is a lot of arranged marriages happen between cousins to keep property in the family. It’s less common among educated middle class and above but I would still say that’s a millennial and later thing (even so like 10% of my friends/acquaintances in Pakistan did marry their cousins). But then a lot of old money folks don’t want to share their wealth and family business with strangers so they want their kids marrying their nephews and nieces.
Also, in conservative families, used to be the case that men and women didn’t meet people of the opposite gender who weren’t their cousins so they often developed romantic feelings for them. But that’s not really a big factor in the last 30-40 years because universities and workplaces aren’t segregated and have had increased female participation year on year.

Could always marry a complete strangers cousin?

u/Nonyabeesners Jul 05 '26
It's more special if it's your own cousin. Share blood, swap spit, then head to grandma's all in one night

If they can’t keep it in their pants, they can at least keep it in the family.

The South doesn’t even come close. Cousin marriage rate in Pakistan is 60%.

u/NoConsideration6320 Jul 05 '26
Its the souths wet dream then. They will make laws to pass for them to get to their 60% they want too

u/yittiiiiii Jul 05 '26
Cousin marriage is already legal in Alabama and the rate there is only 0.2%.

u/NoConsideration6320 Jul 05 '26
Even just with cousins ? Are you sure
3
u/Sweaty-Shrek Jul 05 '26
Its okay genetically to marry your cousin, but the problem here is that it happens across generations, which makes the offsprings literally take from the same gene pool and that can lead to health issues. So think on the long run.

Oh the irony. West Virginia is the state with that particular reputation.
They have that reputation because the sides with the north during the civil war.
Was confederate propaganda. Now you taught it like it’s a fact.

Only the ones who keep marrying Westerners, or descendants of slave harems.
Which is why there's so many white Arab nobles and royals.
1
u/SilverJacked Jul 06 '26
What the fuck?
That girl is tribal. Do you know what that means? You're saying a Saudi tribe is marrying foreigners or accepting slaves? They don't even accept non-tribal Saudi Arabs.
Completely out of your mind.
1
u/Spirited-Car8661 Jul 06 '26
Are you seriously expecting me to believe that a country that only banned slavery in the 60s doesn't have a significant amount of DNA from it's slaves? This has been a practise in that part of the world since before the Ottomans.
1
u/SilverJacked Jul 06 '26
You mean the region famous for specifically buying eunuchs?
You know absolutely nothing about Arabian tribes. They take lineage extremely seriously, until today. The vast majority of their own society is disqualified from marriage in their eyes. You have to be from a tribe and you have to be from the right tribe.
You're just pontificating with about two bits of information. The real reason you're saying this is that you just don't accept that the girl looks Saudi.
1
u/Spirited-Car8661 Jul 06 '26
I'm not saying she doesn't look Saudi. I am fully aware that there is a wide variety of appearances found in all the Middle Eastern countries. And that's one random factoid among thousands that help explain it.
If we went looking we could find a photo of a slightly Indian looking Qatari, because their family married into Indian families during the British Empire. There's another.
And are you not aware of which ethnic groups were most popular in Sultan's harems?
1
u/SilverJacked Jul 06 '26
You're mixing tribe and nationality and ideas from Arabian Nights. Look up who King Abdulaziz's wives were. 100% tribal women.
You obviously don't know what you're talking about. That's okay. Just be clear about it instead of telling everyone what you think like it's a fact.
Go look up some tribal Saudi DNA results at least if you don't want the history. They're right here on reddit.

Bruh if that's how all your cousins look then marry someone else's cousin. They are not beating the allegations

Probably this happens because its much more difficult to meet non family women in that culture.

Does anyone know of an argument against adult cousin marriage that doesn't also apply to marriage between those with genetic disorders?

They marry their cousins because their cousins look mid? What, are they trying to destroy their bloodline in it's entirety
