Did you know that the United States is the only country in the world that allows first cousin marriages??


It's true. The United States is the only country in the world where almost HALF of the states allow people to marry their first cousin..meaning they can marry your dad or mom's sibling's child!!

excuse me while i hurl...

I will genuinely be surprised if those aren't mostly southern states.

Eh, he just shitpost this on PotD as well and he has it completely reversed. The US is one of the very few nations which *bans* it in places and the penalties are stricter than in other nations which ban it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage#Current_status

However, several countries have considered adding bans to target the foreign population.

...he says ignoring that not only does the rest of the world allow it too, but it's more widely legal in those countries. The US is one of the few places really against it.

Wow, it's like you couldn't just click a link I *already* provided instead of asking a stupid question.

But here's a bigger map. Contrary to your stupid assumptions, the strongest bans *seem* to mostly be in the states you're attempting to slander, which makes your ignorant comments more hilarious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cousin_marriage_map1.svg

Unsurprisingly, it's generally the liberal states which have it legal and the more conservative ones which have it outlawed. When you cross-check it against the red/blue states, you'll notice a LOT of overlap

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states#/media/File:Red_state,_blue_state.svg

I'm not sure if it's more a matter that liberals like marrying their cousins or conservatives tend to regulate relationships more.

(And, before you go, "Well, it's not really legal in 25 states!" No, it is, because it's legal in some form but at least 7 of those states have restrictions. In some cases, it's close to a ban.)

As for the prevalence of first-cousin marriage in the US, well, unsurprisingly it's lower than the rest of the world although part of that is likely because of the bans. (And, of course, the data is a bit older now.) It's more common in Europe, Australia, etc, and far more common in parts of Africa and the Middle East.

What's hilarious is America allows blood relatives to marry.

Might want to rephrase your ignorant statement, because literally every country on the planet allows blood relatives to marry in some form. The US is one of the few countries with a first-cousin ban, but even countries with first-cousin bans usually allow second-cousin marriages (I can't think of one exception) and all of them allow more distant relations.

I thought the highest incest rates were in Pakistan and India.

...he says while ignoring that it's also far more common in countries like Australia, England, and even Canada. But hey, maybe you're going to write those off as shitholes, too. It's somewhat telling that your argument against it is basically racism, though, and not even a really good attempt since you cite India despite much of India having it illegal due to religious prohibition (which, by the way, seems to be the only real objection to it anywhere other than it strikes people as "icky") aimed at Hindus. (Not to mention you called Africa a country >_>)

Aunts/uncles marrying their nephews/nieces is perfectly legal in Australia. Do you have any room to talk?
Hmm...

yes because we don't have an equivalent to "the south" where it actually legit happens
There's a saying down south, Cousins make dozens ;)
I really don't see anything wrong with cousins getting married.

Your whole country is worse than America's south, though. And it happens far more often in Australia than the US, which should surprise absolutely nobody.
