Cousin Marriage/Avunculate Marriage and Incest (Royal and otherwise)

i knew this really trashy lebanese family - bribed their way into the country, all of them on benefits, plus working under the table, got that muzzie rizz that lets them scam so hard they were making workman's comp $$ while no one was declaring any income tons of genetic health problems, legal issues, etc. !whitetrash the muzzies are kinda BTFOing us

the mom wanted both her kids to marry their cousins because "that way we know it's a good family" thankfully they were westernized enough to be like "wtf we grew up seeing them every day that's basically a sibling to me" which is still kinda a funny argument when it's about fricking your cousin - no they remind me too much of my brother!

Because Bint 'amm marriage is traditional and permitted in the Quran.

I don't Know about Hindus but I think it was a pre-Islamic tribal practice anyway intended to consolidate resources in the family

Of course it made Pakis r-slurred but I guess they don't see it as a downside.

If you compare India to Pakistan on the map, it's not impossible that India's hue is driven mostly by its muzzies rather than its Hindus.

Incest was illegal in Ancient Rome as well. Roman law forbade marriage between siblings, Parents and children, Uncles/Aunts and nieces/nephews, and grandparents with granchildren. They were generally disgusted by the Ptolemies.

Interesting bit about the protestants, do they allow first degree cousin marriage?

@ACA what mormons say about incest?

@Kasey how inbreed are you?

Protestantism went so hard on "The pope is not the boss of me" and "everybody should be married, it's wrong to be celibate, no nuns or monks or unmarried clergy" that they did roll back a lot of "you can't marry this person".

Martin Luther, who was an ex-monk who married an ex-nun, was so strong on this messaging that "everyone must be married" that in a sermon on marriage, he said - and I swear I'm not making this up - the equivalent of "the mean old pope says if you murder your spouse so you can marry your sidepiece, they won't let you get married as that would be a sin. Well the pope is wrong, God doesn't care, go ahead and get married". Guy was so big on "The pope is not the boss of me" he really went "yeah go ahead kill your husband or wife so you can marry that hottie, fine by me" 🤣

I looked it up again to make sure I hadn't imagined it and boy. The guy was really "it's fine to get married, no really, everyone has to get married, in fact if you're married and your husband can't do the deed, it's okay if you bigamously marry someone else who will knock you up":

>I once wrote down some advice concerning such persons for those who hear confession. It related to those cases where a husband or wife comes and wants to learn what he should do: his spouse is unable to fulfil the conjugal duty, yet he cannot get along without it because he finds that God's ordinance to multiply is still in force within him. Here they have accused me of teaching that when a husband is unable to satisfy his wife's sexual desire she should run to somebody else. Let the topsy-turvy liars spread their lies. The words of Christ and his apostles were turned upside down; should they not also turn my words topsy-turvy? To whose detriment it will be they shall surely find out.

>What I said was this: if a woman who is fit for marriage has a husband who is not, and she is unable openly to take unto herself another and unwilling, too, to do anything dishonorable since the pope in such a case demands without cause abundant testimony and evidence, she should say to her husband, "Look, my dear husband, you are unable to fulfil your conjugal duty toward me; you have cheated me out of my maidenhood and even imperilled my honor and my soul's salvation; in the sight of God there is no real marriage between us. Grant me the privilege of contracting a secret marriage with your brother or closest relative, and you retain the title of husband so that your property will not fall to strangers. Consent to being betrayed voluntarily by me, as you have betrayed me without my consent"
