So I've recently watched a disturbing and sad documentary on the effects of inbreeding in the British Pakistani communities. Even in the UK , they marry their first cousin. And this not a minority of them, there's a great number of them that do so. I personally know two sisters that are married to two first cousins whom are brothers. This documentary might be quite old but it's still quite relevant as many of their kids have hereditary genetic diseases. So I was wondering if we have a similar practice of marrying within the family. I mean our qabils exist because of the inbreeding of our ancestors, right?
Do Somalis have cousin marriage?

If you don't want to watch the full doc
the first part is about:
the inherited genetic disorders
their point of view as to why the continue this practice
the second part is about:
the opinions of MP for the constituencies that have predominant paki communnities ( who where threatened when they addressed the issue)
the point of view from officials as this is affecting the NHS

Yes I’m a first cousin product.
The cool thing is that my mother’s ancestry is the same as mine. Her father is my grandfathers brother.
And yes there’s nothing weird about me.
I won’t be marrying my first cousins because of risk, I will have to go outside the family by far , can’t take the risk.

I think of my first cousins as siblings
this is just nasty

Before 1980, it wasn't common.
Post-90s/2000s, due to imported retard Arab culture it is becoming more common. Everything bad about Somali culture stems from aping Arabs.

Interesting however I’ve actually never seen cousin marriages
Looking the posts above you seem to be wrong
I’m sure it existed before
What I’m thinking is that all of our common ancestors the kids of Samaale were inbred
Confused.comyes, its very common. I have an second cousin who married her first cousin and somehow he was her uncle aswell

Stop pinning everything on Arabs it was in Somalia before that
Walahi Arab haters are the dumbest people in the world

on her mum side he is her first cousin and on her dad's side he is her uncle (dad's second cousin).
that's what I was told lmaoooInterestingon her mum side he is her first cousin and on her dad's side he is her uncle (dad's second cousin).
I was quite confused because you’re not allowed to marry your uncle as in your parents sibling but that’s not the case here
Must be fun when the family gets together
Does she mix up maandey/huuno and apti together

Similar situation is happening in UAE - first-cousin marriages. Yes, after few in-breeding seasons many kids come out with hereditary diseases and physical deforms.
Parents/grand-parents are not related. I can't think of anyone in my extended family married to a first/second even third cousins.
But, I gotta be honest. My female first cousins look hot! The type of girls I look for, tall, well-proportioned with long black hair. Let me stop here before I start having nasty thoughts, lol.

Technically it is not incestuous thoughts but I get the gist of it,incest of the minduff
.Yeah keep on bringing the Arabs in this issue
What I asked was about your ancestor they clearly married each other
And with paganism, I can imagine married siblings
