Protestant churches generally allow cousin marriage, [] in keeping with criticism of the Catholic system of dispensations by Martin Luther and John Calvin during the Reformation. According to Luther and Calvin, the Catholic bans on cousin marriage were an expression of Church rather than divine law and needed to be abolished. Protestants during the Reformation struggled to interpret the Biblical proscriptions against incest in a sensible manner, a task frustrated by facts like their omission of the daughter but inclusion of the granddaughter as a directly prohibited relation.

The Archbishop of Canterbury reached the same conclusion soon after. The Qur'an does not state that marriages between first cousins are forbidden. In Sura An-Nisa 4: Lawful to you are all beyond those mentioned, so that you may seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock…" In Sura Al-Ahzab O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers.

We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. Muslims have practiced marriages between first cousins in non-prohibited countries since the time of Muhammad. In a few countries the most common type is between paternal cousins.

Muhammad actually did marry two relatives. It was the issue of adoption and not cousinship that caused controversy due to the opposition of pre-Islamic Arab norms. Many of the immediate successors of Muhammad also took a cousin as one of their wives. Umar married his cousin Atikah bint Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nifayl, [] [] while Ali married Fatimah , [] the daughter of his paternal first cousin Muhammad and hence his first cousin once removed.

Even though many Muslims practice cousins marriage now, two of the Sunni Muslims madhhabs schools, four in total like Shafi'i about The Hindu Marriage Act prohibits marriage for five generations on the father's side and three on the mother's side, but allows cross-cousin marriage where it is permitted by custom.

Hindu rules of exogamy are often taken extremely seriously, and local village councils in India administer laws against in-gotra endogamy,. In the 18th and 19th Centuries, Hindu Kurmis of Chunar and Jaunpur are known to have been influenced by their Muslim neighbors and taken up extensively the custom of cousin marriage. In the Mahabharata , one of the two great Hindu Epics , Arjuna took as his fourth wife his first and cross cousin Subhadra , the sister of Krishna. Arjuna had gone into exile alone after having disturbed Yudhishthira and Draupadi in their private quarters. It was during the last part of his exile, while staying at the Dvaraka residence of his cousins, that he fell in love with Subhadra.

While eating at the home of Balarama , Arjuna was struck with Subhadra's beauty and decided he would obtain her as his wife. Subhadra and Arjuna's son was the tragic hero Abhimanyu. According to Andhra Pradesh oral tradition, Abhimanyu himself married his first cross-cousin Shashirekha, the daughter of Subhadra's brother Balarama. Buddhism does not proscribe any specific sexual practices, only ruling out "sexual misconduct" in the Five Precepts. Cousin marriage has genetic aspects that do not arise in the case of other marriage-related political and social issues like interracial marriage.

This is because married couples that possess higher than normal consanguinity , shared identical DNA and genetic material, have an increased chance of sharing genes for recessive traits. The percentage of consanguinity between any two individuals decreases fourfold as the most recent common ancestor recedes one generation. First cousins have four times the consanguinity of second cousins, while first cousins once removed have half that of first cousins. Double first cousins have twice that of first cousins and are as related as half-siblings.

In April , the Journal of Genetic Counseling released a report which estimated the average risk of birth defects in a child born of first cousins at 1. Repeated consanguineous marriages within a group are more problematic. After repeated generations of cousin marriage the actual genetic relationship between two people is closer than the most immediate relationship would suggest. Among double first cousin progeny, Even in the absence of preferential consanguinity, alleles that are rare in large populations can randomly increase to high frequency in small groups within a few generations due to the founder effect and accelerated genetic drift in a breeding pool of restricted size.

In Ohio 's Geauga County , Amish make up only about 10 percent of the population but represent half the special needs cases. In the case of one debilitating seizure disorder, the worldwide total of 12 cases exclusively involves Amish sufferers. Studies into the effect of cousin marriage on polygenic traits and complex diseases of adulthood have often yielded contradictory results due to the rudimentary sampling strategies used. Both positive and negative associations have been reported for breast cancer and heart disease.

Consanguinity seems to affect many polygenic traits such as height, body mass index, intelligence and cardiovascular profile. However, these results may principally reflect village endogamy rather than consanguinity per se. Endogamy is marrying within a group and in this case the group was a village. The marital patterns of the Amish are also an example of endogamy.

The Latin American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformation found an association between consanguinity and hydrocephalus, postaxial polydactyly, and bilateral oral and facial clefts. A consistent positive association between consanguinity and disorders such as ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect has been demonstrated, but both positive and negative associations with patent ductus arteriosus, atrioventricular septal defect, pulmonary atresia, and Tetralogy of Fallot have been reported in different populations.

Associations between consanguinity and Alzheimer's disease have been found in certain populations. In the latter case, it would appear that inbreeding mainly leads to greater variance in IQ levels, due in part to the expression of detrimental recessive genes in a small proportion of those tested. The report states that these children are 13 times more likely than the general population to produce children with genetic disorders , and one in ten children of first-cousin marriages in Birmingham either dies in infancy or develops a serious disability.

Published studies show that mean perinatal mortality in the Pakistani community of Congenital anomalies account for 41 percent of all British Pakistani infant deaths. She has a very rare recessive genetic condition, known as Epidermolysis bullosa which will cause her to lead a life of extreme physical suffering, limited human contact and probably an early death from skin cancer.

Knowing that cousin marriages increase the probability of recessive genetic conditions, she is understandably against the practice. Finally, in the Telegraph reported that cousin marriage among the British Pakistani community resulted in children being born every year with genetic disabilities. The increased mortality and birth defects observed among British Pakistanis may, however, have another source besides current consanguinity. This is population subdivision among different Pakistani groups.

Population subdivision results from decreased gene flow among different groups in a population. Because members of Pakistani biradari have married only inside these groups for generations, offspring have higher average homozygosity even for couples with no known genetic relationship. Instead they are 13 times more likely to develop recessive genetic disorders. The HGC states, "Other types of genetic conditions, including chromosomal abnormalities, sex-linked conditions and autosomal dominant conditions are not influenced by cousin marriage.

Both however, also carry a biological risk. They key difference, GIG argue, is that cousin marriage is more common amongst a British minority population.

Increased focus on genetic disease in developing countries may eventually result from progress in eliminating environmental diseases there as well. Comprehensive genetic education and premarital genetic counseling programs can help to lessen the burden of genetic diseases in endogamous communities.

Genetic education programs directed at high-school students have been successful in Middle Eastern countries such as Bahrain. Genetic counseling in developing countries has been hampered, however, by lack of trained staff, and couples may refuse prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion despite the endorsement of religious authorities. All pregnant women in Britain are offered a screening test from the government-run national health service to identify those at an increased risk of having a baby with Down syndrome.

The HGC states that similarly, it is appropriate to offer genetic counseling to consanguineous couples, preferably before they conceive, in order to establish the precise risk of a genetic abnormality in offspring. Under this system the offering of genetic counseling can be refused, unlike, for example, in the US state of Maine where genetic counseling is mandatory to obtain a marriage license for first cousins.

Leading researcher Alan Bittles also concluded that though consanguinity clearly has a significant effect on childhood mortality and genetic disease in areas where it is common, it is "essential that the levels of expressed genetic defect be kept in perspective, and to realize that the outcome of consanguineous marriages is not subject to assessment solely in terms of comparative medical audit". Higher total fertility rates are reported for cousin marriages than average, a phenomenon noted as far back as George Darwin during the late 19th century.

There is no significant difference in the number of surviving children in cousin marriages because this compensates for the observed increase in child mortality. Other factors include shorter birth intervals and possibly a lower likelihood of using reliable contraception. Others now believe there is scant evidence for this unless the genes are operating very early in the pregnancy. Studies consistently show a lower rate of primary infertility in cousin marriages, usually interpreted as being due to greater immunological compatibility between spouses.

All good things, between you and me. But I miss you. They were originally depicted as birdlike, with wings and beaks, though now the beak is often replaced with a comically large nose.

They are known to lead people away from Buddhism, tie priests to tall trees and towers, start fires in temples, and kidnap children. Many legends say the tengu were hypocritical priests who must now live the rest of their lives as mountain goblins as punishment. Locals made offerings to the tengu to avoid their mischief, and there are still festivals in Japan dedicated to them today. Though the poison failed to kill her, she became horribly disfigured, causing her hair to fall out and her left eye to droop.

Upon learning of her disfigurement and betrayal, she accidentally killed herself on a sword. Her ghostly, deformed face appeared everywhere to haunt Iemon. This story begins as so many horror stories do: As oni are known for their ability to shape-shift, the demon at Agi Bridge appeared to the man as an abandoned woman. In an urban legend from that swept through Japan, Kuchisake-onna wears a surgical mask and asks children if they think she is beautiful. If they say yes, she takes off the mask to reveal her mouth slit from ear to ear and asks the question again.

The only way to escape is to give a noncommittal answer, such as "you look OK.
