Five-year old story that was floating around today for some reason. I posted this because Mark Steyn (who SSS snarks me about reading) was talking about Pakistani cousin marriage in Bradford 10 years ago.
Would anyone be willing to make the argument that cousin marriage in the British Pakistani community is less prevalent than it was 5 years ago?
Pull Quote>>He added: “Bradford is very inbred. There is a huge amount of cousins marrying each other there.” Research in Bradford has found that babies born to Pakistani women are twice as likely to die in their first year as babies born to white mothers, with genetic problems linked to inbreeding identified as a “significant” cause.
Studies have found that within the city, more than 70 per cent of marriages are between relations, with more than half involving first cousins.
Separate studies have found that while British Pakistanis make up three per cent of all births, they account for one in three British children born with genetic illnesses.
