Inter Familial Marriage, Effects And Why Its Wrong by mhisbliss(f): 9:17am On Apr 01, 2018
Inbreeding or inter familial marriage is the act of mating closely related individuals, It is frowned upon by most cultures and the greater number of the society at large, it is considered as incest and a criminal offense in some contries like the USA India, China, though its acceptable in few cultures and religion especially in africa, its limited to cousins and extended family but not allowed when both parties share each or both parents, like a marriage between half siblings or actual siblings,

The Bible did not condemn getting married to a close relative at first because at first humans were of stable genetic construction, the risk of offsprings of such union having genetic defects due to incest was zero, and it was for the purpose of populating the earth, they mostly happened on God's consent like that of cain and his sister( obviously theres no one else to marry and its necessary for the continuation of the human race)
Abraham married serah his half sister(Gen 20.12)
Isaac married Rebekah his aunt's granddaughter(Gen 24.15)
Jacob married his first cousins leah and racheal(Gen 29.19)

But today, marriage to a close relation(grandchild, parents, half siblings, uncle, aunt, siblings, cousins) is prohibited in the bible and in several countries,
God forbade marriage between those who were closely related in (lev 18.30) to avoid the degeneration of offspring.

Due to the actions of Prophet Muhammad and the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, marriage between cousins is explicitly allowed and even encouraged in Islam. The Qur'an itself does not discourage or forbid this practice in any way. In fact it implicitly allows it, as seen in chapter 4 verse 23:

Reasons why inter familial marriage is wrong

1. relatives have shared identical DNA And genetic material hence creating a higher possibility of sharing genes of recessive traits. This may result in the child born of this relationship to have rare diseases or have birth defects. When we mate with someone with a completely different gene pool, our chance of passing on recessive genes is only 50 percent. Many times, those genes remain dormant, but when people who share a large number of genes breed, the chance of passing on conditions known as autosomal recessive disorders—conditions that are inherited through recessive genes, including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and albinism increases significantly.
Heres a simple explanation, the male might have a gene for a rare genetic defect but he's not affected physically, that means the gene is recessive in him, hence he's just a carrier, close relatives might also have the gene in dominant or recessive form, when the male and female have a child, the child will have a grave form of such mutation because both parents are carriers.

2. It is considered a criminal offence and incest in some countries such as USA

3. It is frowned upon by most religions and society at large

Effects of Inbreeding

Increased risk of infertility
Cleft palates
Heart conditions
Facial asymmetry
Slow growth rate
Low birth weight
Autosomal recessive disorders
Severe intellectual deficit(moronic and imbecilic offspring)
Congenital physical malformations
Neonatal mortality

Notable people who got married to thier cousins

Rudy Giuliani The former mayor of New York City married Regina Peruggi in 1968. Regina was the daughter of his father’s first cousin, making her his second cousin once removed.

Edgar Allan Poe the famed poet and author of “The Raven” wed his first cousin Virginia Eliza Clemm. The two were married when he was 27 and she was 13. There is some speculation as to whether their marriage was more like a sibling relationship than that of husband and wife.

H.G. Wells Author of “Island of Dr. Moreau” and “The War of the Worlds,” Wells married his first cousin in 1891. But their union was short-lived, and he and Isabel Mary Wells divorced a mere three years later when he began a relationship with one of his students.

Saddam Hussein The former Iraqi dictator had multiple wives, but his first wife was his first cousin, Sajida Talfah, whom he married in 1963. Their pairing was an arranged marriage, planned from the time the two were children.

Charles Darwin The naturalist who penned “On the Origin of Species” — and introduced the theory of evolution to the world — married his first cousin Emma Wedgwood. The couple had 10 children together, and because of his research on inbreeding and evolution, he was worried that their relationship was the reason that three of their children died at young ages.

Albert Einstein Famed physicist Albert Einstein married his second wife, Elsa Lowenthal, in 1919 in one of the oddest cousin pairings ever. They were first cousins on his mother’s side, as well as second cousins on their father’s side! And weirder still, she was actually born Elsa Einstein; the Lowenthal surname was one she got from her first marriage.

Jerry Lee Lewis The rocker best known for his hit song “Great Balls of Fire” married his first cousin Myra Williams when she was only 13 years old. The union, which was his third marriage and her first, caused a lot of fan backlash for Lewis, and the pairing lasted only four years. He would go on to marry four more times.

Greta Scacchi The actress known for her starring role in “Presumed Innocent” was once married to Vincent D’Onofrio. They weren’t related and have since divorced; now, Scacchi is in a long-term relationship with her cousin Carlo Mantegazza, and the two have a child together.

Kevin Bacon Many people claim to have connections with Kevin Bacon — there’s that whole “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game — but his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, is actually related to him … albeit quite distantly. The two are ninth cousins once removed, a fact they learned on the PBS genealogy series “Finding Your Roots.”

Jesse James The notorious outlaw fell in love with and married his first cousin Zerelda “Zee” Mimms. She was actually named for Jesse’s mother, and the two finally wed after a nine-year engagement and had two children who survived.

The genes mutate because they're same recessive genes in both parents since they're related, when they give birth those genes doubles in the offsprings and become dominant hence the mutation, I met a handsome guy at a wedding yesterday and we got talking, even exchanged contacts only for mum to show up and starting talking to the guy like she knew him from somewhere, i was just watching trying to understand whatsup and mum was like

I see you've met my daughter, B this is your cousin, you guys are first cousins, his mum is my bla bla bla and the crush i had on him was squashed before it could even materialize, then i started researching on this topic

@bolded why is that undecided
