Recently I was surprised to learn that Japan allows cousin marriage. I was somewhat shocked by this so I looked into how dangerous it is. What I read was that the increased risk of cognitive decline or birth defects were negligible. So idk. Still weird AF from a modern society perspective.

Japan doesn't have a culture where your cousin is the only woman you are allowed to interact with without drawing the ire of religious leaders. The Paki cousins, by comparison, are vastly closer to each other genetically than Japanese cousins.

I would imagine that generation after generation of the practice would not end well.
