Cousin Marriage In The Light Of Sharia And Medical Science

Abstract

The Islamic religion places a high value on marriage, referring to it as a "big contract because it gives a man physical peace, love, kindness, and contentment (Surah Al-Room, 30:21). Due to cultural norms, most societies prefer to marry close relatives in order to protect family names, relationships, and inheritance from outsiders.Some people are apprehensive to marry close relatives because of the potential for complications, such as divorce and disputes.The Shari'ah does not ban cousin marriage but kept the matter permissible(MUBAH). Many recent scientific investigations have found that cousin marriage causes a slew of family problems. We'll try to clarify the instruction to cousin marriage as thoroughly as possible. Is that accurate?
