Birth Defects after Marrying First Cousins....

More would you believe it news !

Pakistani births account for 3% but 33% of birth defects...

Another hidden financial cost to our poor immigration policies of the past.

It is God's will if you have a disabled child, nothing to do with genetics !!

Interestingly I know somebody who drives the mini bus for a special school and he was saying how the majority of the children he takes to school are of Indian origin. Having read that article the whole thing makes complete sense now.

Is this news to anyone?

There are other communities with similar 'close' relationships within and between families. The buildup of defects is pretty obvious.

It's usually a religious and/or tradition thing that's been imported.

Leave them to it, nature will sort it out.

Not really, the taxpayer will end up spending millions looking after these children from the cradle to the grave.

I’m going to upset you, but India and Pakistan are two different countries. They also don’t really like each other very much.

Your username is quite apt though.

I worked with an Englishman who married a cousin ,don't know whether first or whatever but she had same surname before nuptials.

They had a daughter ,bit of a gobby cow but no defects as far as I know .

There’s a very serious hidden problem, predominantly because the results are hidden away and no one, for fear of being called out wants to address the problem

A visit to my local hospital and sitting in the coffee shop at the entrance for half an hour will tell you all you need to know .. very large numbers of Asian kids with either physical, mental or both problems going in/out

The numbers are truly shocking

How did it happen ?

Well, if you take my home town around 4K Asians from one region of Pakistan were brought over to work in the mills ... that population has now risen to around 60k over the last 50 years or so

But, they all came from the same villages and many were related before they moved over.

The marriages have been kept within the same demographic group with many many marriages of closely related people who then have children who marry closely related people perpetuating and multiplying the problem

Now, it’s not just a Pakistani heritage problem, it’s also found in other “closed” groups such as the Orthodox Jews in North London/Manchester but it is a very significant problem that will only get worse until the community leaders, health and education authorities grab the bull by the horn and confront the problem head on

Will they do that ? I doubt it

Not generally a problem, unless the couple are unlucky.
However when you get second or third generation close group, or inter family breeding the percentage chances of defects rise hugely.
Do they actually not teach basics like this in school anymore?

Only since partition split them, same people in both.

Nice bit of indirect abuse tacked on too.

I knew someone who had nursed in Saudi. Apparently a similar issue there.

They are two separate countries and have been for 80 years, so unless these birth defects are only coming to light in the over 80s then Partition is very old news.

Quite how you see that it’s abuse is unreal, talk about easily offended over nothing, especially as it’s for someone else.

Marriage between first cousins wasnt uncommon between the upper classes back in Victorian times. A couple who were first cousins ive been researching as local history project had a daughter who the census listed as 'feeble minded since birth' possibly down to the relationship of the parents

In Iceland they have an app so you can check if you're inbreeding ..

They need something similar for these 'tards.

I actually didnt think it was legal until I saw a documentary on the BBC a few years back!

I still can't believe anyone who goes through the British education system doesn't know its a bad idea? Unless it's ommited from the syllabus in certain areas?

It's complete polar opposite in the Indian community. Families will have it checked that there are no relations within minimum number of generations before a marriage is agreed. I know someone who wasnt given the green light by his family as the girl he intended to marry had a surname too similar to his own even though they were not related.

How likely do you think it is that it would be mentioned in a school where a significant number of the pupils have closely related parents?
