My Parents Are Cousins (Family Documentary) - Real Stories
Incest should be illegal. I don't care if it's 1st, 2nd, 3rd cousin etc. it's sickening
Bigamy is illegal in the west, has that ever stopped a Muslim family?
It’s traditional in many Muslim communities
For some reason the girl Sarah who gave birth to 7 children from her father all of her kids turned out right. Why is that none of them had a genetic disorder? Not even down syndrome.
Ikr, for these cases not to happen, and innocent children and souls not to suffer, this should be illegal in law, and should be treated as a crime
@@lisam8608 love is love.
You know you’re doing something wrong when ALL 3 OF YOUR KIDS have the same extremely rare genetic disorder 🤔
Yeah. Lol.
But then again, we all know they will try for number 4. 🤷♀️🤪
Swears
they had 6 kids? 50% but yea the should have realised
@@lexannmariejackson9542 I would imagine you don't know a lot about these types of countries. Where would you go? How would you? Money? It is very hard to even leave some of these countries let alone to be able to afford it. And you also think it is gross for the same reasons we all do. Because you were raised somewhere else where you are taught that. These people weren't. They said 50% or something like that of their country marries their first cousin. The girl speaking stated her grandparents were cousins. Not something we would do but it is easy to say I would do this or that if were halfway around the world
@@retrosurfer76 how does anything you just said relate to knowingly and willingly consenting to incestuous relationships and purposefully permanently damaging your children in the process? Your “passionate” and unrelated reply seems to me that you are either a product of incest or practice it. I’m sorry for you and your family,
I'm Canadian and my parents lied and they are 1st cousins. The disabilities and struggles I had and still do in not fair! I think its disgusting and not right as the kids suffer!
Im sorry. My parents arent cousins but have the ssme bad mutation that I inherited from both of them. It sucks. No one should be born on this planet to suffer.
😢😢😢😔😔
Damn poor you
Misinformation because Christians dont marriage with cousins because of their religion and Muslims do that is why they do propaganda against Muslims.
You lyin looking for attention
The Mother blaming the doctors for 3 of her kids being disabled instead of her choice of marrying her first cousin is just unbelievable. She should be thankful that the doctors and British tax payers are carrying the burden of looking after her whole family. Some people never want to take responsibility for their own stupid decisions.
That was beyond bizarre. My son has a genetic condition, cystic fibrosis. I am not related to his father in any way. It was completely out of the blue. He was our third and we did genetic counselling and informed our families.
I'm so thankful for the medical care my son has had in Australia to keep him alive. He's about to turn 21. Doctors have done nothing but help keep my son alive and I'm so thankful ❤️ Her kids would be dead already without medical intervention.
@@fionamackie3357 Hi Fiona, I am very sorry to hear about your son. I’m glad that you and your family are here in Australia and have the medical help available to you all. It’s what makes behaviour of others marrying their first cousins so infuriating, especially when they must know the risk now! There’s enough unlucky people like your son who was born with cystic fibrosis, through no fault of either you or your husband, or your son. But for others to marry their first cousins knowing the risk, and then to have multiple children with serious genetic disorders requiring millions in health care over their lives, it’s just infuriating. If everyone was to start marrying their first cousins (yuck in my opinion), the health system would collapse. I feel like this practice is extremely selfish by them. If they were back in Pakistan, their kids would be in serious trouble with little to no medical help. I wish your son and your family all the best, I’m so glad that Medicare and the NDIS are there to support you all. God bless you all ❤
has nothing to do with marrying a first cousin, biologically there should not be any problem with first cousins, it is a genetic issue.
@@lhl9010 keep telling yourself that then, but the statistics and the science don’t lie on this topic and it’s been well known for decades, if not longer! You raise the risk considerably of children having genetic defects by having offspring with a 1st cousin. Not to mention that most people find it quite repulsive! It’s also extremely unfair on the children being born with these issues that most likely wouldn’t have happened if the kids parents weren’t cousins.
@@lhl9010 go marry your first cousin and tell us how it goes!
Not only is incest completely disgusting but I think that it’s child abuse that they keep producing offspring knowing the circumstances. They should be prosecuted.
Are you dumb? Doctors do a check usually when cousin marry, check it out.
@@eliza1826 did you even watch this video? You're the dumb one
thisbitch 123 😂😂😂
Amaree Henderson well said!
Your right you should write a letter to the royal family with your opinions they know all about incest !!
I am a child of incest. My mother married her nephew and gave birth to me. I was fortunate that I had no mental or physical abnormalities. What this did to me mentally has been difficult. I am 60 years old, but this is still a stigma I deal with.
You don't have to feel bad as long as you are healthy.
I'm surprised to learn that children of incest face stigma in your culture. Anyway, not your sin.
@@gokuldastvm I think it's not about sin or guilt. A kid surrounded by the regular family ties experiences the world and grows up differently than a person who grows up in a disordered surroundings. Just imagine, your dad is your cousin, that implies a lot of things. So although I wish all the best for the person who was born in such circumstances and I believe you are a person you've become in your life, others should beware and avoid things like that. Marry people who are not your relatives, period.
@@GSungaila I meant 'sin' as in 'it's not your fault and nothing you should be ashamed of'. I am just curious about what happens in other cultures under these circumstances. I'm from a culture where first cousin marriages are acceptable, but rarely followed among the last few generations. People realized the dangers and parted with that tradition. But it still isn't a taboo.
Praise god you are healthy but please always keep in your mind it was no fault of yours..if you have resentment in your heart let it go....forgive an forget.
The man said: Why wouldn't you want to marry your first cousin??...I literally 🤢... The thought of marrying my cousin makes me sick to my stomach🤮
2 billion Muslims and 200 millions South Indian hindus don't have taboo with first cousin marriages. That doesn't mean that they have to marry cousins. Occasionally marrying cousins doesn't significantly impact genetic outcomes.
With modern technology simple genetic screening before marriage can mitigate almost most of its risks.
Pakistanis marrying their cousins is excessive they should widen their genetic spread consciously and where they do genetic screening should be the norm.
These kind of breathlessly dissing Muslim practices without nuance is habit of the white people.
That's your opinion.
@RaffaelloLorenzusSayde This is a fact... You should be ashamed🤢🤮
@@RaffaelloLorenzusSaydethats a fact not opinions sicko
@@RaffaelloLorenzusSaydeyou mean the truth 😅😅😅 blood is blood and laying in bed with your own is 🤢🤢
My parents are from South India. My mum comes from a small town. Some time ago, she told me that her mother, my grandmother, never forgave her for not marrying me to my first cousin. Thankfully, my mum is well-read and well-travelled, so she never even entertained the idea. I was so grossed out when she told me about this. My cousin is a good decade younger than me and I used to carry them around and hand-feed them when they were a baby.
Lie it's not an Indian practice until you are a muslim
In sanatan dharm or for you Hinduism they practice not to marry in family
@@rachnagupta789 nice joke
idk about south india but in north you absolutely don't marry your cousin or someone from your village or someone in the same gotra as you.@@MagpieTimes
@@MagpieTimes interesting. In my community we check upto 7 generations for common ancestor along with patrika as a tradition so I always thought it was same across India
Cousin marriage isn't a religious mandate. It is a cultural problem, which needs to be addressed through education.
Its religous too
@@josepablitoaurar7051 lol no it isn’t, show me where it says that? Brainless tweeb

Just because something has been going on for centuries, doesn't mean it has to be followed blindly.
it does if you're Muslim
It's funnier that you say that because they're all literally blind and retarded because of it.
kcmn00 I see what you did there
I am frm PAKISTAN but i am agre with U...
Why not?
When the mom said her children’s disease was the fault of the doctors it just made me sad. That’s strong denial, and I’m sure it’s reinforced by other members of the family. It would be difficult to accept that declining health in your kids is due to a choice you made, especially when you had no knowledge of it when you made that choice (as I assume she didn’t). I do hope someday she can accept it and I wish her luck in caring for her children
They wouldn't receive any of the services given by the NHS if they stayed in Pakistan.
We don't need the West's opinion of and propaganda against our native religious culture.
And she was so unnatural about 😂
The mother blaming the NHS, makes me mad. The government really needs to increase their education to the community as the children are in a living nightmare. Moreover, the costs for the British taxpayers is a burden.
It's her fault, not theirs
Yet she blames anyone but herself! The victims of her choices, the kids, deserve better parents genetically and socially. Smh what a bad person she is
Tazeen Ahmad passed away in 2019 of cancer. I found based on some research that she was a good person. Rest in peace Tazeen
she was so young. RIP.
The fact that she had one child and saw how he turned out but kept having more boiled my blood.
In Indonesia there are many marriages between first cousins. Like where I live in Riau province. Thank God their children grow healthy and smart. Only God knows human destiny 🙏
If she won't have more babies, how are they going to take over UK?
@@abhijeetkundu2271 You do know that their are other people willing to not marry their cousins who can make kids with no defects
@@abhijeetkundu2271 lmfao
@@robben896 GRRM took so many inspirations from real life events. The politics in Ice & Fire is very accurate.
What is more saddening is that the parents are not willing to accept the medical evidence. Rather, they blame their fate!

DIY Aalae yes
Those parents look like siblings, they are so similar. Same nose, especially. And same denial of the truth. Sad.
abhinav reddy mulla logic.
Or blame the drs
Absolutely outrageous to see people defending cousin marriages in 2020 even while living in a developed country with access to internet, education, etc. Extremely appalling to see such behaviour
My husband tried his best to talk to a Bengali acquaintance who was marrying off his daughter to a first cousin. The girl and her sister were both deaf, because they were the product of such a first-cousin-marriage. It was just so sad, frustrating & disgusting.
So much more so, because this cousin treated the lovely deaf girl with such contempt ... unfortunately she didn't even finish her education here in Germany.
This took place in 2014.
Facts
And same goes for commentator who at the end
" Sees " the convenience and plus of cousin incestuous marriage
She comes from same sad culture
She demolished the whole scientific research
By her last sentence
@@user-vl8te2uo3r it's the UK , they will always find a way to excuse anything as long as it comes from minorities. They just can't fathom to simply make politics as a neutral based on facts thing that applies to everyone and treats everyone the same.
I'm tremendously disappointed to witness such negligence by these parents. Despite knowing the probable outcome, they continued to bring more children into this world.
They might not have known then, but they certainly know now and it's they who are the ones who should be adamant about changing this aspect of their culture.
It is interesting that regardless of religions and culture, people only want to believe what have been believed even they are educated in a way. They will blame the medicine and vaccines.
@@sheilaboston7051their ancestors culture was pretty fine some thousand year go and cousin marriage was taboo back then but then comes islam and see what it is now
@@INDIANNAOFUMIIslam certainly doesn't help, unfortunately this type of genetic bottleneck is know to decrease neurological abilities over time throughout the entire population and the choices the community makes get even more unhinged, we have the same problem with Irish travelers, it's like the snake that eats its own tail. If we don't intervene the problems will only compound!
the boy crying out in the beginning absolutely broke my heart.he’s suffering so much because of his *own* parents selfish choices and he doesn’t know why
Apparently he just lost his sight. So her angry..
I don't think they let them choices to get marry each other. Mostly it's forced or arranged marriage
i agree. I hope you'll feel this way about the people who give birth knowing their kids have a 50/50 chance of inheriting their disorders- regardless of who they marry/breed with. It seems like premeditated physical damage/abuse to me.
What broke my heart was the boy at the end realising that his Mum made a huge mistake
Not his parents
Bit his grandparents and great grandparents
“It gives me so much pain” but you keep have sexual intercourse and having babies after knowing the odds are high. I feel absolutely horrible for the kids and how they are devastated that they can’t do normal things.
That's what I thought she had 3 kids with disabilities but had to have a 4th makes no sense shows how little she really cares.
you can always consider that the baby making isn't something she wants..... men like this usually just want a big family with many children, so stop assuming that maybe she wanted that
@@420bb Its not that they dont care, they just have absolutely no knowledge, and most believe thats not what is causing it. The government and a lot of religious leaders are against teaching about the consequences. hopefully this post will start opening a lot of eyes.
@@Stormiedays having the first child that was disabled was probably enough of a sign especially considering doctor visits and treatments tend to be very educational towards the condition, so how'd they not know nd have other kids
You need to take into account that this woman is uneducated and does not know how genetics works. She obviously is suffering seeing her children in so much pain, but she does not understand what caused it
The cost of this to the British public is astronomical.
My thoughts too. The parents' disregard for the NHS irritated me.
@@indigocheetah4172it’s not just the NHS, it’s all health and social care services. They would need to attend special school, have public funded transport to school, disability allowance, carers allowance, disability car for the family etc. The cost for this family alone is astronomical!
I grew up in Toronto. The most multicultural city in the world. I have lived in different areas in the city. I lived in a predominantly brown part of the city (Pakistanis, Afghans ) and I have never seen so many mentally handicapped children in my life.
Preach
Afghans arent brown btw. Well they are brown but a light/fair brown. Not south asian/desi type of brown. They are olive skinned/tanned. And yes I visited Pakistan and there were so many disabled kids everywhere. It was just sad to see.
I'm near Toronto, I've seen it with refugees here too. They want to blame god when they know they have these illnesses in the family. Some of them make a fortune of odsp for their kids, never spend a cent on them, and send the money back home. This is Trudeau's wave of immigrants
I grew up in Toronto too and I personally haven’t seen it myself. That being said I’m sure it’s very real. Also, my parents are first cousins (family are west African Muslims) and not only that my dad 15+ years older than my mom, she was promised to him at birth. To add to that my youngest brother is severely autistic (has made our lives a million times harder and I feel bad for him) and was born when my dad was 54. I’m sure this all played a huge part.
It really upsets me that they’re related and I try not to think about it all 😭💔😢
@@Pakdnd Afghans are brown as in they aren't white or black
The first guy just broke my heart, he has to suffer because his parents who are first cousins are just selfish and gross. But it's not just him suffering I feel sorry for all these children that go threw this
And the fact that his parents have no remorse over the sufferings of their children that they are just proud to be together it completely disgust me! I swear some people don’t deserve to have children
That too have 6 children. This is more than religion it's education balance these people need
Although I severely disagree with this, I feel for these people because this practice is all they have ever known. It's ignorance mixed with neglegance to the extreme. How awful.
@@JaelWasFramed nah, I'm done being nice about it all.
They should question it and seek knowledge, or be put down like rabid animals. Like their "traditions".
Gross is your perception of it. Who are you to pass judgment? Must be Christian
This isn't just marrying first cousins, this is a LONG LINEAGE of first cousins marrying first cousins marrying first cousins marrying first cousins marrying first cousins for thousands of years. This is the result.
first intelligent comment
I dont understand their mind set.
Everybody is cousins!
Yes, but when does it stop..... They keep going after generations regardless of the outcome.
@@llow261 yeah, unfortunately, it's lack of education that is causing this.
My first cousin and I are about ten years apart. I had an opportunity to give him and, his two children some company while their emotional state was low during a divorce. His mother, my aunt, encouraged me to get-together with him bc we got along so well. I had to politely say no. I distanced myself then, those relatives treated me indifferently from then on. Weird.
whats your ethnicity?
@@Therealkanyewest3782 what's yours?
My heart goes out to the last child who has had to grow up with older siblings who are disabled. Imagine growing up surrounded by siblings like these. What does she pick up and does anyone really have time for her in this family?
And she'll probably be pressured to care for them when the parents are no longer able to 😢
Right? I hope she doesn't grow up to marry her first cousin. It's sickening and not fair to the offspring.
That teenage boy crying is absolutely breaking my heart. He knows he is suppose to be more. Dear God.. give him peace in his mind.
ik it made me cry
AquaStar i know. God bless all of them.
The sad part of the story, tax payer is the one suffered. Poor kids. They r the one pay for thier parents decision. Bad bad.
AquaStar please make their minds and body whole, thank you.
It breaks my heart and i often see this walking around in Astoria and it makes me so sad for them. It can happen to anyone, children born with disabilities, but when first cousins marry, they are risking this happening do to inbreeding. So sad.
I feel bad for Mohsin and his sisters. His parents seem to be proud to be married to one another and have not showed one ounce of shame, guilt, nor empathy for their disabled children. That is so wrong on so many levels.
It's probably because they don't understand it's their infest that has caused this
For how long have you been observing there expressions towards thier own kids?
@@Rakan7areth That’s what I like to know
Fr the mom says she worries for them and such but she had to have known her kids would turn out like this. I'm sure her neighbors have kids with disabilities too because it's popular in the area to marry 1st cousins. To me it comes off as a mother who cares more about her religion than her own breathing children. The fact her first 3 children have disabilities and she kept having them shows how little she cares for them.
@@Rakan7areth she shifts the blame to the much more well educated doctors. She doesn't care, scribbles...
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in my 20s and have battled major depression most of my life. My first panic attack was at 4 and my first attempt to self harm at 12. I decided not to have children because I couldn't even possibly subject my child to the anguish I have suffered. It's hard for me to understand how anyone could make these choices given such odds.
I also have Type 1 bipolar. I had increasingly severe symptoms from early childhood into adulthood. I had my son at 24, but wasn’t diagnosed until I was 29.
My son’s bipolar symptoms surfaced in his freshman year of high school with his first psychotic episode. He’s now 26 and struggles mightily with his disorder.
I swear with every breath in my body that if I had known that I had such a horrible illness which could be passed genetically to my child, I NEVER would have had a child. I never, EVER would knowingly subject my child to a life of such suffering.
I didn’t know that mental illnesses can be genetically inherited. I always thought they’re a result of external environmental influences
Thank you for being sensible. Anytime I bring this option up in my adhd and autism groups they act like my decisions to not have kids and my suggestion that they should carefully consider the kids health risks is akin to gen*cide. I'm like it's just being sensible. And legitimately a form of being a good mother. By not having them or putting your kids through that. Can't tell you how many times I'm attacked for this opinion.
My mother has bipolar but was not diagnosed until her 70's. It previously seemed like chronic depression. Neither me nor my sister have the disorder, but my mother really should not have had children. She was not able to be a mother, the way a mother should be. She was often hospitalized, and not really able to take an active role in our lives. She suffered from overwhelming anxiety, and we often had to care for her. This put a huge burden on very young children and on my father.
Bless you. May your burden be lightened.
Stop marrying your cousins!! What a drain on the hospitals for something that is preventable!
The last guy with glasses is a star. He has a condition himself but is speaking out against cousins marrying. You can tell he's a good kid.

Yep
I love how some people in this video are like "Well I had a brother who married his cousin and their children were fine."
Well so what? Not everyone who smokes tobacco will get cancer. It doesn't mean smoking is healthy.
Actually the first one or two generations of first cousin marriages would not have much issue... But you have to consider how these communities repeatedly marry within the family causing deformities such as the ones shown
Marrying your first cousin is not a health practice And the repercussion are serious . It is fortunate that your brother children had no health problems . But why runs the risk there are other women in this world that you had to marry your own cousin .
A lot of people do not understand probability. They perceive statements about statistical likelihood as being about deterministic causation, so they think that individual cases can disprove such statements. It is at root a result of inadequate education in math
You know, the parents who have these children are additionally embarrassed because it is claimed that God punishes them. or it is displaced because it is said to be God's will.
TheStapleGunKid plus with all the forced marriages with in families it just keeps that one blood line going and with every new generation things probably keep mutating. Or just the fact that it becomes more and more likely that birth defects or abnormalities will show up causing pain.
Arranged marriage to my cousin almost happened when I was a little girl, I’m so happy my parents never went through with it
Medieval behaviour
I grew up in a orphanage, but I had one caregiver who insisted on teaching us to search and make sure we do not marry our relatives. To look into our family's history and avoid the concequnes of having disabled children's . I had to conquered lots of things and fear, to ensure that strangers I might fall in love are not biological related to me. And this women is asking her doctors and says is fine .it's horrible.
The boy moaning in the beginning is so damn heartbreaking
Enz Di Cristofaro my goodness,you couldn’t have described it any better..I’m so sad
Enz Di Cristofaro his parents are quite defensive!
Exactly TNLY T!
I find it hilarious

This is such a common practice here in Pakistan. All the people in my entire village are related to one another by two or three relations. It's very complicated. So many children here have issues like this. I'm glad my grandfather, my father and us siblings married outside our family. A lot of our family members were mad at us for not marrying their kids...but having educated parents helped us avoid all this.
Praise God for that Wisdom...if i were you i would leave that place
Alhamdulillah.
Very Sad
@@adriennerobinson1180 I agree. I couldn’t imagine.

This is just heartbreaking, poor kids suffering because adults can't let go of their outdated customs. Marrying closely related relatives has no place in our civilised society, the human cost is huge, and the financial cost to the state is also huge
this is a cultural/educational issue that needs to be addressed.....the tax burden should also be discussed.....horrific for these poor children
Marrying your first cousin in the Middle East is still heavily practiced. My dad tried to marry me off to my cousin many times, the only way I got out of it is because I live in the United States.

@@anuraggautam8976 the more it goes down the less dna you share. Some people marry their like 3rd cousin and don’t even know they’re family
@@MaryJane-tp3qd not knowing is 1 but as soon as you know it u should stop it its just not right
@@snmalki2363 The genetics you share with your third cousin is miniscule, as it means you share a set of great great grandparents. You share about 0.075% of DNA on average. They've done studies on best friends, and they are statistically as related as about 4th cousins based on how much DNA they share on average. This makes sense when we more often than not befriend people who tend to look more like us and act like us. And if you go to some parts of the world where people are ethnically less diverse, they often share more DNA with each other than your average stranger. (Like Ashkenazi Jews, Japanese, etc.) In these situations people might not even be actual cousins, but because of the smaller genetic group, they share as much DNA as a distant relative would.
There really is no moral argument to be made about it at that point, because most 3rd cousins don't even know each other (as a single generation is about 25 years, so from the birth of your great great grandparents all the way until the birth of you is roughly 100 years) so the familiarity isn't there, and the genetic risk just isn't there unless your family regularly practices incest and have been doing it for generations lol.
@@sweetkittykat2000 didnt bother reading al that but i guess you are saying in a sence were all related. That sounds like someone who is practicing this behavior
As someone who hails from a family that maintains strong ties to our culture, I cannot say this enough or loud enough:
Just because it's culture/tradition, that does not (and I stress this word) NOT mean that it is right.
Culture can be wrong. Very very wrong.
Let me say this again: Culture. Can. Be. Wrong.
Thank you for coming to my talk.
Also, shout out to the Auntie at 26:57 , calling for a serious discussion in regards to the suffering of the next generation.
True, cultural acceptance is not accepting the unacceptable ^^ you’ve got child marriages and bride kidnappings in various cultures that although are historical and part of tradition, it’s definitely not morally or ethically right.
Some cultures are better than others
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
- Gautama Buddha
You can see the women want it to be looked at, and stopped. But the men seem fine with it in that group.
Preach it! 👏
This is not only in this case. In Philippines (especially in Iloilo), cousin marriage are prevalent in the past. My aunt (my mom's cousin) is a product of parents who are first cousins. She seemed normal but when she reached 40s, she was hospitalized for unknown disease. For now, I am worried about what her fate would be. 😥
Poor children. My heart goes out to them.
These cases happen not because they married a first cousin, but because their parents, grandparents, great grandparents and great, great grandparents were also cousins.
Exactly. It goes so far back they have no chance
Yep I know white British people who have married their first cousins. Luckily it is only for one generation.
Vicious cycle
@@MsPeabody1231 it happened a lot in middle ages britain but it stopped here we are in the 21th century and somes people still do those thing
True. In most cousin marriage in which their older generation were not related, the kids are absolutely fine! Not saying I'd do it, but there should be clarification.
I'm a Malaysian Pakistani and I have to say, this culture is still very prevelant in our society (the one in my country at least) and encouraged. I know a lot of relatives who were either married their first or second cousin. I'm not married, so the uncles and aunties would say "I can find you someone, I have relatives etc". I'm like no thank you, the world is so vast so I'm going to explore out of my circle thank you.
@ciao bella good for you. I'd imagine the family reunions are a abit awkward and uncomfortable? 😅
God says NO
At least you have enough cognizant intelligence to understand that you can seriously harm offspring by doing so. You are intelligent AND intelligent enough to know that this is wrong. I know it’s a societal matter but I think something inside of our biological
make-up tells us that there are enough people that we do not need to reproduce with our relatives because of our close DNA. God bless you. I hope you are doing well in life and best of luck to you and everything you do.
Marry me pls. I know I that I am a mere insect, but theres so much more if given the chance.
Why would that be encouraged
I have two first cousins who were happily married until his natural death. Before marriage, he had a vasectomy to avoid having a biological child. Instead, they adopted their children.
Still weird but hey at least kids weren't dragged into it. At least biological children anyway
I worked for some years for the local council on council house repairs. I was shocked by the number of handicapped children in Asian family homes both mental and physical in many cases .The dialysis services treating kidney disease proportionally treat more SE Asian patients than other racial groups.
All paid for by the British taxpayer.
Firstly, it’s not “Asians” but it’s British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis that practise inbreeding. Be specific. Also, SE Asia = Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia etc. You mean South Asia which includes Pakistan and Bangladesh.
It's not SE Asian, it's South Asian, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
A law must be implemented -NO MARRIAGE BETWEEN COUSINS.
Cousins of WHAT degree?
@@jenningsrountree8304 ,In my country fourth generation. They must ask you if you are related familiar.
@@jenningsrountree8304 ,My family live on a private property for sanctuaries,I have cousins maybe fourth generation living next door and I see them as my brothers. When you breed domestic animals you always take one who is not related to have good breed. A shark from South Africa is swimming to Australia for breeding with a not related female or male.Sometimes animals are more knowledgeable than we humans.
By fourth generation, I assume you mean 3rd cousins (great grandparents being siblings). If all generations were full siblings (rather than half), that would mean 1/4 common ancestry although only 1/4 common POSSIBLE genes - probably less By chance. In livestock, linebreeding (even parent-child, but not siblings) is supposed to be okay. In humans that would be pretty weird.
Some of these families are marrying brothers and sisters.
The fact that she has one child and he turns out like that and then she has the balls to keep getting more is just sickening.
Remember it's not only her fault even her HUSBANDS fault
Their attitude is maybe the next one will be healthy. Kind of like those idiots who want a boy so end up having 6 girls and try for a 7th hoping it's a boy.

I remember something which happened in my neighbourhood in kerala, India. There was a muslim girl , full of life studying MBBs, loved a non muslim guy . Family came to know and forcibly married to her first cousin. The cousin is not a bad guy either. but the child she had with her cousin, was having genetic problems . Now ,the girl who had to abandon her studies at marriage , was taking care her child 24/7. Every time , I see her; I imagine , how her life would have been . She would have been a successful doctor with healthy kid , if she had married her lover . Now she looks like a Skelton of her formerself. The irony is that her father is a medical doctor.
This traditition exists in kerala??? , Malayali ?

@Juicelad Who gets to decide what traits are acceptable and which are not? The government? There is a reason eugenics was discredited as unscientific and racially biased.
Dr. Motulsky said medical geneticists had known for a long time that there was little or no harm in cousins marrying and having children. ''Somehow, this hasn't become general knowledge,'' even among doctors, he said.
Although the increase represents a near doubling of the risk, the result is still not considered large enough to discourage cousins from having children, said Dr. Arno Motulsky, a professor emeritus of medicine and genome sciences at the University of Washington, and the senior author of the report. www.nytimes.com/2002/04/04/us/few-risks-seen-to-the-children-of-1st-cousins.html#:~:text=They%20say%20there%20is%20no,people%20think%2C%20the%20scientists%20said.
@Juicelad doctor =/= geneticist, if you actually did research on the subject you would know many hold the same opinion. but i highly doubt you actually read the study
@Juicelad Cool, nice ad hominem attack. Anyways, sorry I'm not a mind reader and didn't know what "I'm not talking about," and what "I'm talking about." Ill have to work on my mentalism training a bit. Maybe you should explain these things when you are using such a loaded word.
@@darkorangesupercar743 there's always apologists and junk science. But Motulsky's observation might be correct, "only" a doubling of risk for otherwise unrelated first cousins. Problem is that there's often a lot of pre-existing inbreeding in those cultures, which means the inbreeding ratio can be closer to that of siblings than of first cousins. Also, there are other major problems with cousin marriage, such as that clan mentalities and clan relations are cemented, leading to more corruption and crime. And also, of course, that we should move away from arranged marriages, dowrys and all that junk.
Going back to the middle ages, we are.
When I was in Saudi Arabia back in the 90’s, practically every Saudi I knew had married his first cousin. Finally, I asked one of them why this was so, and he told me that marriages are likely to last longer and a husband will treat his wife better if he knows that his uncle would get very upset otherwise, which would cause problems within the family. In other words, yes, it is custom not religion that perpetuates the situation, but it seems that the newer generation is beginning to see the light and not marrying their cousins as much.
They want an easy life, not a healthy life. Priorities.
It's Islam. Verse 4:23 of the Quran allows first cousin marriages for all times and all places and the "Prophet" Muhammad married his first cousin named Zaynab bint Jahsh, so it's the norm for Muslims to marry first cousin in accord with Islam. Islam is backward, ignorant, and false.
these older people still live in the dark ages which makes them dumb and dangerous. i hope the newer generation stops this sicknes - i was horrified at what their 'custom' did to the poor guy at the beginning of the video.
The fact that the parents can sit here with a bold face lie and say it’s not genetics 🧬 what happening to their kids is just insane. The fact that you would even want to risk your future child’s health is unthinkable

What she says about her children being ok at the beginning. That can actually happen in cases of incest. The children appear to be healthy, but the genetic problems they have take a couple of years to develop. That's why her children were fine at the beginning. I knew a couple in my parents place of origin, that were cousins and their daughter was born looking fine,but before the age she would be about to walk, she never walked, she never spoke and she was in a vegetative state for 50 years until she passed away.
Her husband's argument, that his brother's children are fine, even though he married his cousin too is also easily refutable. Every conception is statistically a separate event. It's always about chances. Also, his brother's wife may not be a carrier of some gene he and his wife are obviously carriers of. It looks like the children suffer from a condition inherited through an autosomal recessive manner. If his brother isn't a carrier, or his sister-in-law isn't a carrier or both aren't, then they have no chance from the very beginning of conceiving a child who will get sick.
This whole situation is a combination of religious bigotry, low educational level and scientific illiteracy.
Such a sad state of affairs! (As an Australian child - I was raised to understand that I could marry a 1st cousin under the Law = but should never do so - especially because of the health risks. In our culture it was truly ‘frowned’ upon to do so.) My heart goes out to the children in this documentary who are suffering the health deficits.😔😔😔

They don’t just marry cousins once. They have many blood relatives in their family line over generations and they don’t marry outside of their local towns or ethnic backgrounds. Very dangerous.
If you want to prevent cousin marriage you'll need to update the Quran and the Hadith first - good luck!
@@curryandapint4380 I’m not interested in stopping anyone. I think people should be educated on the risks of continuous cousin marriage and only within the tribes. It’s a cultural practice that occurs in certain regions. For example, it’s not as common in Muslim countries like Morocco or Indonesia.

Right. They should not visit doctors and see for themselves maybe they won't have anyone else to blame! I also had a friend who married her cousin and they blame the doctors for their abnormal babies instead of owning up to their incest relationship.
well, it’s not really the parents’ fault, because apparently they didn’t have a convenient education, and also because their parents are the ones who arrange marriages
This practice is not only devastating for the children affected, but the cost of treating these children is also a burden to the system and taxpayers…
I can’t believe that this woman calls her daughters “This one” and “That one.” That is crazy??? 😔
That may have just been a turn of phrase that doesn't translate well into English. We might say "she" or "her" and just point and assume our listener understands the context of us referring to two different people.
(If, IF, it was meant in a dehumanising way, well, who knows? She thinks the doctors did things to her children so I assume she loves her children despite their illnesses)
@@LostTimeLady Yes, that is probably what happened to be honest. In the future I’ll just be more mindful that people who do not speak English have to translate it, so I will be more clear.

Yes they both refuse to acknowledge its their fault.
Asians have a cultural need to "save face." Deep down, they may know or understand but just cannot admit to it. Sometimes though, it is just through sheer lack of education - it's "what we've always done" and they have no wish to change their way of life. It's also not just about family blood ties either, as it often involves the keeping of land, houses, animals etc. within the family.
But the doctors still allow it. They Warn peopl but at the end people d’évidé for theirselves that’s the issue

15:25 is what utterly shocks me.

A marriage between cousins can happen once, likely with no consequences, but you cannot keep doing it generation after generation. These children are the product of generations of "inbreeding".

You just can't do it for generations.
Its a generational issue that islam disagrees not single cases.
Even in one generation there is a lot of risk....
Shailesh Kumar not really
Why don't siblings just marry two men/women who themselves are cousins? Their families can then still be super close.
Why do we always have to be so sensitive?! It's not a freaking attack on Islam or Pakistanis, it's the potential medical issues that may occur. You have to be educated enough to realize that you may potentially hurt your future kids , and if you're prepared to bare the consequences if they turn out disabled. It's beyond me how lightly those parents take things at all...how can you watch your kids suffer and still continue to claim that there's nothing wrong or the doctors are at fault?! Sickening! In 21st century you'd think that people would knows better but there you go....Poor kids! They don't deserve the life of suffering they got as a result of their parents' irresponsible decisions!
I think the sensitivity is that Islamic countries allows marriage between cousins, and few people take advantage of this availability
