Netherlands Planning on Banning Cousin Marriages
OP - April 22, 2009, 05:02 AM

Some European countries are thinking of banning cousin marriages.

Quote
Denmark: Cousin marriages account for third of babies with rare genetic diseases

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands (NL) Amsterdam Alderman Lodewijk Asscher is suggesting to ban cousin marriages. This is not the first time this proposal comes up. Asscher writes in an opinion piece in De Volkskrant that many problems with retarded boys are solved with import brides, who are brought to the Netherlands to serve a sort of life imprisonment as a carer/spouse. Addtionally, he says that there are 1200 children in Amsterdam who are sent by their parents to school in their homeland.

Every year 25 children are born with rare genetic diseases. A third of them come from ethnic minority family, where the father and mother often have close family relations.

According to Sygeplejersken (Nurse) journal, the risk for cousin couples to have children with a handicap or genetic disease is double the average.

Karen Br?ndum-Nielsen, a professor in clinical genetic for the Kennedy Institute explains. "When you find a spouse who is related, the risk for that person to have the same sick gene as yourself is much higher than if you find one who's not from the family."

Cousin marriages is most common in families with Pakistani and Turkish roots.

A Norwegian study from 2007 shows that a third of Pakistanis and a tenth of Turks are married with a cousin.

And it will take a long time to change that says Karen Br?ndum-Nielsen. She says the practice is widespread in the Muslim culture and especially in the Middle East countries, and it is not something one can just change.

Seriously, Prophet Muhammad forbade marriage between men & women who had been breast fed by the same wet nurse, & even insisted that such couples divorce, couldn't he have banned cousin marriages?

I guess that's because breastfeeding from the same woman makes you siblings, which I always found strange. It's weird breast milk can make someone maharam, but actual blood-relations can't.

An Egyptian cleric issued this hilarious fatwa, that a woman should breast feed her non mahram colleague in the workplace, to solve the problem of intermingling of the sexes!

He said that if a woman fed a male colleague "directly from her breast" at least five times they would establish a family bond and thus be allowed to be alone together at work.

This is... just so wrong on so many levels.... I can't even begin to list the ways Wow

You hadn't heard that one before? It a couple of years old now. Some twit at al-Azhar dreamed it up. Methinks he was just desperate for a face full of tit and was trying to think of a good excuse.

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.

No I hadn't heard of that... it's amazing how much humans and Muslims in particular continue to surprise me with their capacity for living in a deluded, fcuked up illusion at the cost of everything and everyone. Like Lily Tomlin said, "No matter how cynical you get, it's never enough."
