It's alot more common than you think. I know alot of daqan celis kids who married their first cousins. 2 of my cousins from my mother's side are married. I told my mom to not even entertain the idea :nahgirl: told her she had to be more creative than that.

Dhaqan Celis doesnt work imo unless you send them before they are teens

Secondly Somalis should stop thinking if they marry their son to a good woman that he Will change nobody can make another person change

Surprisingly, no one in my family is married to a cousin. Everybody has married out.
 
Cousin marriage is uncommon. But when it happens, no one bats an eye. Somalis are against marriage between limo habreed though. It's not good apparently.

I'm from majority tribe. To increase our number, we have no option but to marry our cousins :manny: my parents are second cousins but some of my uncles/aunts married first cousin. My cousin recently married his first cousin.

this is not Africa sxb. How old is your son?

"The risk of having a baby with birth defects – usually heart or nervous system problems which can sometimes be fatal – is still small, but it rises from 3% in the general Pakistani population to 6% among those married to blood relatives. The researchers also found a doubling of the risk in the babies of white British women who were over the age of 34. That increased risk, rising from 2% to 4%, is already known".

I know but I couldn't turn down the offer at the time I was young but alhamdulillah no regrets my son is two years old now and seems pretty healthy to me
 
If you marry within your clan & sub clan, you are somewhat related anyways. You probably have the same 10th great grandfather.
 
I married my cousin I didnt see wrong with it because im now blessed with a beautiful healthy son so I think these study are all bullshit

Where do you live? and when will you get your spouse and child to where you are? I am sure you want your son to have the chance to become a international recognized something (doctor,dentist,engineer). Or at least have the chance to try it.
