Image Credits: Brides Today A Convenient Option For ManyĬousin marriages are not taboo. The list of dramas that pursue this narrative is endless so I’ll save you by mentioning that there are few stories that do NOT bring this romantic connection into the equation. ![]() Yeah, cousin marriages are a plot and a half in most drama narratives. If you haven’t maybe you need to jump on the evolution bandwagon? We all do!Ī gentle reminder – perhaps our dramas and entertainment content can show a red flag here, rather than promoting the mindset. Have you never wanted to eat different foods, learn how daal (lentils) is cooked in another community, or learn a different language? We will never understand each other if we don’t forge relationships, have children & expand families together, across communities. This will not happen if we keep repeating this phrase “we only marry in our community” – a breeding ground for intolerance & inbred prejudice. We must learn to integrate with each other as different communities – Punjabis, Urdu Speaking, Pathans, Sindhis, Baluchis & other ethnicities. I stumbled upon a Twitter space last night where people were passionately defending cousin marriages in the face of someone who was questioning this very ‘Desi Tradition’… The thing is, disregarding the science & biology of it (I am not a medical person so won’t dwell into that, but I think we all must know enough, or Google it!), cousin marriages have certain cons and very few pros.
