Affinal vs Consanguineous Kinship What else taking step forward to make human life
more jeopardized, after the malpractice of boozing and uncontrolled obesity, is that to get married with a close relative? In Yorkshire of England, 55%
marriages are taking place in between two cousins among the Pakistani race out there.
Medical science has protested against such a marriage because marriages between the
consanguineous kinship may lead to certain problems where the question of next generation arises. Normally, it is seen that the result of this sort of marriages give birth to baby with severe genetic disorder.
Over a period of several eras, among the Muslims, marriages of this kind is ubiquitous to them. BBC had televised this issue by making a film titled ‘Marriage My Cousin’. Like this channel, many other media, print or television, have highlighted this fact to impenetrate in human mind that Muslims should stop converting consanguineous kinship to affinal kinship.
