Why are we still practicing cousin marriages ?

So cousin marriages mana daggara taboo kaadu atleast nenu ithe observe cheyledu I even know girls who are in a relationship with their bava ​

Inka cheppali ante mama tho pelli cheskunna vallu kuda unnaru but adi koncham taboo anukovacchu chaala taggindi

​ But na question enti ante manam idi inka Enduku continue chesthunnam?

​ Edo illiterate ante anukovacchu but rich people influence unna vaallu even movies lo kuda inka normal thing la choopisthunnam

​ Why is this wrong? Ani meeru anukunte

​ First cousin marriages lo birth defect vacche chance 4-7% Uncle niece lo birth defect vacche chance 10-12%

​ Unrelated marriage ithe 2-3% ​

Adem undi konchem difference a ga anocchu but mana population ki adi chaala significant

​ Why aren't we discouraging this? ​ Also biggest issue isn't just birth defect ​

  1. Genetic disorders : specific diseases carry forward avthaai with a 25% chance

  2. Reduced life expectancy - idi koncham takkuva research undi I can only find 1 research

  3. Early childhood mortality: High risk of miscarriage and infant mortality ​ Inni problems pettukoni manam ela continue chesthunnam?

​ What are your views on this?

​ Any of u in a cousin marriage or uncle niece marriage? ​
