legal or illegal incest or not why marry cousins if it results in offspring with birth defects...
as for Indians marrying cousins is mostly within the Muslim community, most Hindus consider cousins as brothers n sisters although there is a fraction which allows marriages between cousins although its against the law.
@ Qatarilady there is a very small percent of ppl in India who follow a matriarchal system where 1 women marries 2 or more men!! yes its called polyandry- opposite of polygamy... although very very rare its true!
