They sure do! Just like all those hillbilly cousin-fuckers in California, Connecticut, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. Buncha backwoods hicks, wouldn’t you agree?
To prevent abuse, and to limit the chances of children being born with serious medical problems they will have to suffer with for the rest of their life.
If those states allow first cousin marrying then yeah, that’s cousin fucker states.
Most of the world doesn’t live in the states man, did you think naming other states was going to offend people? You guys and all your weird hillbilly sex stuff need to get your shit together man. It’s embarrassing to see.
It’s legal in most of the world, including most of Europe. I don’t think legality is necessarily the greatest guide for how often it actually happens or social attitudes towards it.
There’s a map in there too of prevalence though and United States isn’t anywhere close to the most prevelant, it’s extremely rare. What’s going on down in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium though?
Ya know, there’s definitely some towns where I’m from that have shallow gene pools, not gonna lie. But I live in Alberta, we’re sometimes the Texas of Canada, and sometimes the Alabama.
Yeah. Pretty much everything south of Calgary and north of Edmonton is Alabama. I’ve lived in every city in the province, and worked in a lot of the towns. It’s pretty crazy in some of the towns here man.
That chart technically includes second degree cousins and any closer relations. So if you don’t count second degree cousins it might be less. But yeah there’s a tradition of parellel cousin marriage especially in parts of the middle east, north Africa, and south Asia.
It’s not just England. Marrying cousins was considered common practice among royalty and nobles in the past, not “normal” for everyday people.
They would inbreed to try to keep blood “pure”, or to keep the family in power, or to sell off their family for power. People knew a long time ago this was bad and caused health problems, but the rich kept doing it because theyre egoistical maniacs.
We don’t have monarchs and royalty anymore, we can do away with inbreeding completely. The fact some conservatives still defend it is ridiculous.

I’m from Alabama. This shit happens.
Oops. Made a Cousin-fucker mad!
What’s your point?
We’re literally saying it makws no sense that this ban would get pushback. The fact so many other states allow it just makes the point.
Americans are weird when it comes to cousins…
Why does it matter who’s fucking who?
Aren’t we in the middle of a big ass motherfucking fight for people to be able to be with who they want to be with, minus adults and children?
Inbreeding
To prevent abuse, and to limit the chances of children being born with serious medical problems they will have to suffer with for the rest of their life.
Risk of genetic defects from cousins is very small, on par with a woman giving birth over age 30.
And “to prevent abuse”? We already have lots of laws to address that.
Stop telling people who they’re allowed to sleep with.
dude, stop trying to fuck your cousin. it’s not cool.
And it’s not your business, or the government’s business.
Besides, not my fault you got uggo cousins
the troll to cousinfucker pipeline really goes hard these days, huh?
Who cares? Get government out of the bedroom.
The point is to call out stereotypes.
When the fuck did we start being pro stereotype?
This is another big fight that I remember us being in the middle of right now.

Holy crap, am I reading this right? In Pakistan, more than 50% of marriages are between cousins??

Yeah I actually knew that one from when I used to listen to Joe Rogan and Gavin Mcinnes was on there. He’s a fucking goof but that fact was disturbing
You read any classic novels from England? Marrying cousins is quite normal at one point in human history. I guess it still is in some backward states.

Except it’s actually illegal and all of those places, and has been for a long time.
No it’s legal in those places, the down voted person is right about that.
