Yes amonst the majority of non Muslims in the United kingdom it is considered incest to marry the first cousin but it does still go on rarely. Many western educated Muslims also think in this way. There is evidence that shows many first cousin marriages in a family cause many health and genetic problems. It is better to seek new partners from distant families. The British royal Family suffered from weak offspring because of inter marriage within the same gene pool over many generations. The khalifah Osmaniya used to search for the most intelligent of women within the kingdom for the Khalif to have children with many selections processes were used, and children of slave women went on to become a khalif.

As salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah,

I know there are a few American members on this forum, so I thought I'd ask do Americans really view marrying your first cousin the same as marrying your real brother or sister?
