According to Wikipedia: "In some jurisdictions, cousin marriage is legally prohibited: for example, first-cousin marriage in both Chinas, both Koreas, the Philippines, for Hindus in some jurisdictions of India, some countries in the Balkans, and 30 of the 50 U.S. states.[7][8] It is criminalized in 8 states in the US, the only jurisdictions in the world to do so."
Looks like it's legal in most of the world... throughout Western European for example... that's kinda my point - we are governed by taboos, not laws. If laws didn't exist, it wouldn't necessarily change human behaviour that much.
In some ways it would, sure, and it would interesting to think about different laws that people would disregard if laws changed... but I don't think that rapes would increase if rape was legalized tomorrow.
Canada made inbred relations legal in 1990 to accommodate immigrants who practiced incest. It was passed in an attempt to be “culturally diverse”, and to appease “multiculturalism”. Which sickens me to know that we threw away our values to accommodate inbred cultures from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Because apparently, these “diverse” cultures (nothing diverse about inbreeding) were so use to screwing their aunts, uncles, and first cousins, that we had to sully our values in order to avoid being deemed “bigoted”. I mean, who can say what culture is better??? Derpity derp derp. Thus, Canada now has to take the wrap for being legally allowed to marry family. God forbid they expose which demographics practice this the most. We also had to let these immigrants know that they can’t bring their wives to Canada, until their wife is 18… I wonder who on earth that is pertaining to? Multiculturalism is lie, and has no historical evidence to support it works. TRUE diversity, is multiple creeds and peoples coming together UNDER ONE BANNER! Not forcing cultures and religions to live with each other that can’t get along. Immigration is way for government to force cheap labour onto the masses, and destroy our economies.
I didn’t know that the laws changed in 1990. Could you provide a link please?
I will point out that cousin marriage has been practiced in Canada for time immemorial. Most (if not all) indigenous groups in Canada allow for cross-cousin marriage so long as the partners are not from the same clan.
It may be worth checking countries where cousins cannot marry.
It is allowed in the Netherlands. And obviously there is not always a huge age gap between cousins.
