Imagine being born and not knowing why you are suffering.
I guess u wasn't born black
@@masterkey9157 why ?!? Is it really that bad?
Emily Vieira I understand, but try to not look at life too black and white.
crystalidx easier said than done.
I still wish I didn’t know why I was suffering. Rather be undiagnosed and keep guessing than to actually have an answer for myself making things worse
It’s not racist or offensive to stop this practice! Just make it illegal already!
In most countries it is illegal if you're of childbearing age. In the U.S. it varies from state to state. I remember reading about one country where they allowed it IF the female was post menopausal (still yucky, I know, but at least it's a protection).
Right no doubt these people are on benefits
VHS youtube you can literally be broke and get pregnant. What’s money doing?
VHS youtube ugh nope. Not how it works. Certain people should be on disability and it’s the governments job to help I’ve been seizure free for years, but if I wasn’t I’m not working while having as many as 3 a day That’s how most illnesses are But it’s actually not the governments fault here lol
It’s not illegal to marry your cousins in Australia, the world needs to put an end to this shit worlds biggest problem, turning what was once a beautiful planet into a hole. We know from past humans doing this as well as genetic studies that it’s not 1 in 4 it’s 100 percent of humans born to any form of inbreeding will have genetic deformities either lesser or greater. The main reason politicians don’t ban this archaic practice is because the left knows inbreds will always vote for them so the more their are the more likely they will be voted into the top job.
One of humanity’s worst traits is clinging to religious and cultural tradition even when it causes needless pain, suffering, and strife.
That can be said for any belief if taken too seriously without evidence.
Yes. Long after the necessity is obsolete, insisting one's beliefs be a rigid protocol is showing why it was a stopgap, not a permanent solution.
not religious. islam prohibited a lot of marriages and put the limit at first cousins, but put it as disliked and better to marry further. first cousin marriages were standard pre industrialisation as it was impossible to travel far without cars, trains, caravans etc. Most ppl couldn't afford horses. So nearly everyone was related to everyone else in your local community and it was impossible to marry outside. the problem here is Pakistanies are tribal (which islam dislikes) and they insist like yewish community of marrying inside their families to keep tribe insular.
@@zenastronomy no they are inspired by prophet Mohamad and zenabh marriage
@@zenastronomyQuit lying marrying blood relatives is the norm of muslims everywhere.
"They said its a genetic disease but I do not think so." -The man with 4 out of 5 kids effected. Thats not a case of disagreeing with a subject. Thats straight up denial.
Thats straight up IDIOCY. One has to be really ignorant or just plain dumb to deny evident genetic diseases. Funny how they all suffer from the same basically and still blame the doctors. What they gave them all adultered alcohol or methanol? Stupid stupid parents.
Their religious beliefs supercede reality.
“‘More than half of British Pakistanis marry their first cousins” SORRY WHAT
Thats bs 😆
yup... the bill on the nhs is mad
I believe many of them marry their cousins, but half of them is kind of bs.

@@jamesn5595 lol that seriously made me laugh
Oh, it stresses you out, lady? Don't have six kids with your cousin! Inbreeding is so horrific. Whether it's royal families or regular ones, it's a bad, bad idea.
En France, certains tests sont obligatoires pour se marier Lorsqu on est cousins, on peut faire des tests plus pousses !
Put blame on the husband as well, not just her.
@@Emma88178 she's just a woman. Let women correct women. She has no idea about the responsibility of men.
Inbred.
Obviously Don't read the correct bible......
I belong to the Sikh religion, and cousin marriage is completely and utterly forbidden in our religion and culture. We are even prohibited from marrying a person with the same paternal last name or even marrying someone from the same village regardless of his or her last name. It is extremely rare to find a person in our community suffering from the kind of issues that are so prevalent in Muslim communities.
As a Hindu i 2nd that
Sikhs too have gotra system as hindus n im so thankful for that. Ofc sikhs are hindus too.🙏🏻
@@AlokitaVerma I know where you are coming from but Sikhs are not Hindu. No matter how much you try to label Sikhs as Hindus, you cannot change the reality. Our forefathers were Hindus, but with the birth of Sikhism, they adopted Sikhism and left Hinduism. By your logic, Christians and Muslims are Jews ?
@@Karmazovignore him, most of us Hindus knows Sikhi is a different religion there are just some people like him who suffer from inferiority complex and need constant attention
Sikhs are physically strong people 💪 I know that for sure I grew up around them.
This simply isn’t fair for the children.
no shit
@Ellie Finn even If it means knowingly that after having that 1st child, they know the genes aren't compatible and could fuck up their 2nd child for their whole entire life?
@Ellie Finn oh nonono honey, islam reject the idea of marrying your relatives. No marrying your cousin or all that stuff.
No it's not!
Great comment, Holly
This should be made illegal for the sake of the children.
WestEgg they would still do it.
Constitutional Republic it would dissuade some people if they couldn’t get legally married, because there can be economic benefits to being married. It would at least make some people think twice.
@@Katie-mw7pd Law isn't a problem here, culture is. You can find plenty of countries where such marriages aren't technically illegal and yet almost never happen. For Pakistanis marriages within family are fact of life and age old tradition. As long as they'll ignore obvious consequences of such archaic practices no amount of law restrictions will change anything.
poo poo pee this isn’t in America lmao
It used to be, you had to get a blood test before you could get married
"Our kids are handicap, let's have more"
Right? Was thinking same thing
what were they thinking?? better luck next time?
' @redMapie Definition of insanity is: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
No one should be marrying their cousins whether first or distant. Your cousins are like siblings. Period!!
Have you heard of the British royal family?
@@larrydickman5936yep they’re retarded too!
so utterly UNIMAGINABLE
You're very likely to marry a distant cousin without even knowing it, anything past 3rd cousin is genetically fine.
A girl I went to school with, married her first cousin 😭 their families were against it but they ran away and got married. They're Tongan
So they had one kid who has a horrible quality of life, and decided to have 3 more?
Braeden Lotz it’s like choosing death 💀
Lots of disability living allowance?
Braeden Lotz they have 6 children in total and 3 of them which are healthy. I am not excusing their behaviour/actions. I also believe they should have stopped after their first child. However they are ignorant and don’t want to face the fact that they are to blame for their children’s conditions. They thought that their subsequent children won’t be affected, not realising that they are high risk, because they are both carrying a faulty gene 🧬. They should have gone through genetic counselling.
@@SuperA1507 Well, you would have hoped that knowing that the parents were related, that genetic tests would have been done following the birth of any disabled child and the parents told the outcome and appraised of the likelihood of having more disabled children. I was born in 1969 and there was a disabled kid in my class at school. He was odd-looking, he looked like he had Aperts Syndrome and had been born with his legs on back to front. He had an older brother that was also affected and a younger sister too, their mother also had these facial characteristics. His older brother came home from work ill one day and went to bed, he was found dead in bed the next day aged 17/18. My classmate was also found dead in bed at the age of 22/23. Both brothers were found to have heart defects and after the second brother died their mother and sister were found to have the same defects and were successfully treated. The whole family had vast amounts of treatment over the years, you would have thought that after having 2 children with the same disabilities that they would have figured that more would be a likelihood. My classmate was not Asian and so I don't know how the disability arose with his mother, but it was inherited. Things are too PC these days and you can bet your bottom dollar that if there was the public campaign that there ought to be to put a stop to first cousin marriages, it would be branded racist when in fact all that any sane person wants is to protect the resources of the NHS and the welfare state by simply avoiding the creation of individuals whose lives are absolutely blighted by the sorts of conditions seen here.
very common in their culture to keep having kids.
"My wife is my mothers sisters daughter" Yah mate, she's your cousin 🙄
Ariane LCMN Exactly! 😂
Ariane LCMN 😂😂😂 thank you
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
At least he's better than most parents who marry cousins. I'm a Bangladeshi and most married cousins are forced to do it by their parents who in turn force their children to do it.
Why is this not illegal in the UK when it’s such a drain on the healthcare system?
I think it would have been hypocritical for Queen Elizabeth to pass the law cos Prince Philip is her second cousin I believe? Not sure if Charles will approve it either cos in a way it's like saying your parents marriage was wrong.
I was thinking the same ,it is diffecult to understand .
They are Asian.
Because it would affect the royal family lol
If they marry their cousin, they should sign a document accepting they won't get medical help if the children get the illness. Today the motto is "I do what I want and the other pay for it"
This is literally mother nature telling you what you are doing is wrong.

The children pay the price for their parents' marriage.
Marriage dont create kids. Sexual intercourse creates humans
Klaus Hermann dam right
Exactly, everyone can tip toe, its disgusting and its incestuous.
So true
Should be illegal
In Kazakhstan, a Muslim country, families check their family trees back SEVEN generations because they have known for centuries of these dangers.
Same in India that's why we have cast system
But Islam and Quran permit cousin marriage
*borat voice* VERY NICE
Ya this practice is not about religion it’s CULTURE. Islam won’t allow this I think it’s a nice religion
Kazakhstan is not a real Muslim country.. people there do not blindly follow whatever written in Qur'an. Real Muslim country would be one that blindly believes in Islam and inhumane things written in Quran. Asia had its own customs and culture before Islam.
Child marriage, Marrying first cousins … cultural? What about the strain on the NHS ? How cruel to actually put you child through this .
If you want to marry without having children, like fine. But *if you* bring a child in with such pain and difficulty is not fair at all. *edited for clarity
eacarriere I agree that’s why people should seriously get genetically tested for diseases so they don’t match if they both have the genes for it. I carry the most dangerous gene for cystic fibrosis and if I was to have a child with someone of the same or similar gene my child would most likely not make it long or suffer in their life and that’s unfair for the child.
The honkler Don’t be rude just use your brain and read it, it’s not that difficult to understand her comment
i shall say marrying ur own cousin is fine but you dont have to had a genetic kid or smth- you can adopt a homeless/parentless-kid from a shelter
This only happens when there's to much inbreeding going on. A little bit of inbreeding is good for the bloodline.
eacarriere actually it’s not fine if they marry it’s disgusting

Egyptians married their brothers and sisters and the rate of congenital defects was very high. Tutankhamen was a product of brother sister incest and had a cleft palate, spina bifida, club feet, and epilepsy. The links between close genetic /incestuous relationships resulting in children with severe mental and physical impairments and diseases are well established. Whoever chooses to breed with their first cousin should also take on the responsibility of accepting their culture of incestuous marriages is harmful to their children and a large risk. That is not to say disabled children don’t deserve to live, but these are avoidable genetic disorders.
this is hundreds decades ago , but a lot of cultures it's okay to Mary cousin not sibling . and a lot of these culture know the congenital defects that could come with it, that's why they do tests before marriage . another thing is taking drugs with serious side effects a lot of alcohol during pregnancy that could cause severe defects and this is wide spread in the western countries
@@sara-fd3rs Its so sad that you are so stupid that you couldn't even pay attention to the basic science provided in the video that explained why cousin incest is horrible. I guess that's what happens when you are raised in a third world country.

Thats illegal in Canada to marry your 1st cousin. When i was married in the 80s, we had to have blood tests before the marriage.
Now you had to have STD tests before marriage 😩😂
În România la fel! Până în 1990, analizele de sânge înainte de căsătorie, erau gratuite și obligatorii. La vârsta de 14 ani, primului Document de Identitate(Buletin) pentru care analiza sângelui era la fel, gratuită și obligatorie. Această analiză era pentru a se stabili, cărei grupe sanguine apartii. Grupa sanguină făcea parte din document, iar titularul era obligat prin lege să-l aibă mereu la purtător! În caz contrar ( ai ieșit uitând să-ți iei și Buletinul), ghinionul tau dacă s-a întâmplat să fii legitimat!

Normally, one first cousin marriage is not that bad. But when it has been going on for generations...
"The doctors treating my kids' illness is what made them like this" BRO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS
Destree Sure the father needs to take responsibility for his actions & not blame the doctor !! But let’s talk about the British government & it’s failed Policies for a minute ??? Multiculturalism is a racist policy designed to keep all ethic minorities ignorant & poor !!! It’s a policy designed to create cheap renewable labour force for Menial jobs !! & the young men who don’t want to do those crap jobs only other options is a life of crime & jail !!! It’s very cruel to bring a whole group of ethnic people into this country and not to help them Integrate and assimilate into the western culture. From an anthropological point of view most of these Pakistani people have the mindset of people from the 15th century agrarian Europe. So how can they possible take responsibility for there actions in a modern western 2019 prospective ???? Please enlighten me ????

They were not raised the way we were, so he hole heartily believes they did nothing wrong, because this type of marriage between first cousins is traditional that’s literally all they know...it’s not ok I agree. But telling them to disregard everything they were taught is like telling a catholic or a anti-vaxxer that everything they were taught growing up is wrong, even if there is in your face evidence that what they believe isn’t right/safe
Especially when the UK has the NHS. You cause problems that could have been avoided. Get it treated free at point of use using hardworking taxpayers money and then have the barefaced cheek to blame the bloody doctors. Get out
'He think kids his age should be able to see.' He's correct. They should.

TaakosGoodOutHere as shit as it is sadly everyone cant see :’) I lost my vision from 14 or so up to now (19) due to a doctor misdiagnosing me Id love to see 100% but Im fortunate enough to see as much as I already am unlike that poor lad sobbing just basically hating his existence really hurts and Id give one of my eyes to him just so we could see shit at least a bit Really sad :(
To think that the European kings and queens thought breeding from within the family would keep the bloodline pure. The irony.
Except in europian countries it was only the royality, in muslim communities its everybody.
@@amiranarvaez9985My man, the rate of inbreeding are also high in the MENA region: Algeria, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, etc. Whats worst is that these are permissible under islam which made muslim shrugs off these inbreeding problems.
It was less of bloodline purity and more of dynastic alliances and land. It's noteworthy that in the Early Middle Ages, the King of France was forced to get a wife from distant Kiev (modern day Ukraine) to find a wife since he was surrounded by cousins. But by the 16th century, the Habsburgs were given dispensation after dispensation by the Pope to marry each other's branches. The Reformation also lessened the pool available since there was more reluctance for religious mixed marriages.
The sad part about this is that marrying cousins is perfectly legal around the globe, with the exception of only five countries. From Russia to South Africa, from Australia to Canada, cousins can marry and breed. Only five countries, widened the term “incest” to include cousins (next to siblings, parents, grandparents and children): Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Serbia and the United States (thirty states to be exact). (In China, Texas, Serbia and Croatia, marrying a cousin is a criminal act, punishable with up to three years in prison, while the clerks who marry such couples, face a one year sentence and are permanently banned from public office).
I think Romania as well
"it's the doctor that made them this way" IGNORANCE IS THE WORST DISEASE I HAVE EVER SEEN
Pretty sad in a sense the parents did admit they are worried for their children's future, if it's not ignorance then it's Denial.
No a dr didn't.Them nuts did it going with cousins.Yuck
God forbid sex with relative.... unlawful sex relations....Leviticus 18 Bible says that
Meh it’s the parents fault that their kids are miserable and will never have a normal life. It’s so sad
@@hannahf.572 i know
Producing more children like this, after the first, is criminally negligent.
I agree with you 1000%. It's very difficult for me to watch this program because I am so angry at these stupid people they know better they've seen what happens when first cousins marry and then they bring children into the world to suffer that should be a crime
One way it's their fault because they should've thought about it before having another child after their first son but another way it's not their fault because they haven't had education to learn about all these
in England murder is pretty much legal so
Maybe they didnt have education? What year is this
I'm sure the doctors explained to the parents the health concerns and risks after the first child. For sure, after the 2nd child born with defects. To go on to have a total of 6 is awful.
Wow. This is utterly disturbing on so many levels. I’m curious to know why the parents thought it was a “good idea” to keep having children, knowing that the first ones were coming up with abnormalities and genetic issues. There is nothing cool about this whatsoever, and this is a form of child abuse. I couldn’t fathom marrying my first cousin.
I am from Pakistan and this truly one of the most miserable things people suffer from. I hope one day this changes and the future lives of children do not end up such
Yh Im a british pakistani i visited pakistan like last year and nearly every family house i went to had at least 1 disabled child. They were in a lot pain and suffering. Do you know if the rate of cousin marriages are going down?
@@Western76u no i dont think so they are, i mean its not like this happens in every single family, like so many people i know have had generations of cousin marriages and every child is normal but i feel like people should just be more careful now
@@laleenaibrahim1104 oh ok but i do think people are becoming more aware. I spoke to a couple people from pakistan and they said they would never marry their cousin and they said less people are doing it now
@@Western76u yes yes yes sorry i miswrote in my comment i just came to edit it, you are right, less and less people are encouraging it now
just seeing that poor young man crying in the hallway should be reason enough to stop this systemic cousin marriage... :-(
Moon child right.... that was so heartbreaking ..
Does he have the mental capacity of a normal 17 year old but with other physical deformities restricting his communication and muscle control etc? Or he is mentally challenged? I hope it is the latter, at least theres a chance that he's not fully aware of all of his misfortunes.
Unfortunately it wouldn’t stop them having children.
It was heartbreaking to watch him.
That just broke my heart.. This young man is suffering for his parents ignorance.
I block my cousins, how do people marry them?
Best comment ever 😂😂

And THIS IS WHY incest should be outlawed. It actually has consequences!

Let the Fathers take care of the disabled children and see how quickly this tradition will change.

The best idea ever!!!! This should be made into a law!
You right about that
Spot on.
Culture should not trump science. Doesn't matter what colour, race, religion you are. This practice should be illegal.
this is a really strong point!! well said.
Samz R it is illegal in many countries such as Australia, America’s, Russia, china, korea etc. but for some reason in Europe, and obviously third world countries it isn’t seen as illegal or legal, it’s just happening and it’s terrible.
Completely agree
@@thelastfps9635 i would assume it has to do with countries run by a monarchy... royal lineage and incest sort of go hand in hand.
Agreed!
My question is why did they keep having kids. That behavior is beyond sick. Those poor kids
How can this be defended as "culture" when the consequences are clearly deleterious? Just how?
I feel bad for the first boy. His mind thinks normally like the teenager he is but he just can’t control the body he’s stuck in. So sad. I don’t get why the parents decided to have more children.
WingsOfTruth - To some extent it’s through wealthy for some but that family don’t look like they have any kind of wealth. For them it was cultural.
WingsOfTruth - 😧That’s horrible.
WingsOfTruth - Omgosh!!😢. That’s extremely horrible when it’s really the cultures fault. Im sure they know that being inbred will cause disabilities more often than not but they still take that chance. It’s sad it’s the children who suffer. Thank you for looking into it. Appreciate it!
Abigail Andrade selfish parents, heartless
Amy Sternheim - Never knew they inbred but I’ve always questioned the Amish communities🤔.
"Why wouldn't you wan't to marry your first cousin?" *points to the suffering child at the beginning of the video*
Rebecca Burgos I know. what a stupid man.
It's very bad if it goes on for generations and generations like in Palestine. They do it there to keep the religion alive. Which I think that is wrong. but I think it's okay if you fall in love with your cousin, if your family doesn't already have a history of incest.
@@logandogan272 so you thinks its cool for kids to be born with horrible diseases as long as its for love? Fuck man
Logan dogan u can’t marry ur first cousin in Islam I’m pretty sure it’s like ur brother
My answer would be *"You, my man, are the one of example that your parent does not related and you can be born healthy"*
This is gross. I don’t care about cultural or religious. Why keep having children for them to suffer? It’s sad and trifling.
4 kids, she saw what happened to the first one and still decided to get pregnant 3 more times
Indeed, but they have 6 kids. 3 out of 6 have issues.

I don't understand why a couple carry on having another child if the first one already have problem 🤔
We aren't talking about the smartest of people.
I’m shocked that the mother that has three severely disabled children said the doctor’s medicine made them that way. Such ignorance.
she's indenial and delusion to think that's where the problem began.🙄🤦🏽♀️
💯
OMG! And I'm willing to wager that the woman does not know how to read nor write!
She's most probable not educated too
As a Pakistani I can easily tell that she has completed limited education in Pakistan, hence her trust in the medical system is significantly less. The problem is that cousin marriage in Pakistan, while I too believe is definetly wrong, has not caused huge health problems like it has done in the UK and this is because the Pakistani community in the UK is obviously smaller thus increasing the chances of genetic disorders. So sadly women like her can’t comprehend this
Okay, this just isn’t fair to them at all. Call me disrespectful, but their parent’s are ignorant as hell.
I dont want to sound rude but with the first family....they had 3 kids with the same disease that should have been a hint
No they are ingnorant
They are selfish

Why would you continue having children after your first baby was born so sadly damaged? 😢 I'm glad 3 out of 6 are healthy, their lives matter, but i cant imagine having more children when my first was so unfortunate. 😢
They are so ignorant that they hope they'll pop out a normal one sooner or later if they breed enough...
That poor boy crying at the beginning absolutely broke my heart. He does not deserve this :(
Is he in pain?:(
@@andraarwen imagine you are born blind and can't walk, talk and hear properly, and you think this is normal but you suffer, this is pain
@@andraarwen Probably... but I also think he's afraid. He can't see and can't hear very well, laying all alone on the floor :(
Me too
I cried I felt so bad for him you can hear how upset he is ....why isn’t anybody comforting him 🥺💔
This needs to be ILLEGAL.
Nice name bro
Dog jizzing in muhammad's mouth wtf?
It is illegal....
In some countries it is illegal
wait it's not?? how
Grew up in Manchester which has a LOT of Muslims (Pakistani) and I remember when my sister was in hospital, she was the only white kid (had tonsillitis bad) and the rest of the ward was ALL pakistani children who were crying and clearly inbred, the fathers would put cloth over their face to hide the shame, I use to think, maybe it was their people are just ill, but years later, I realise it's because their parents are related by blood. It's incredible how much this costs the british tax payer, but if the pakistani women DARE consider a black man or white man then they're at serious risk of being killed, or abandoned by their family. It's very strange!
They have better chances of healthy kids if they marry outside race
From 7:44 to 7:58 (timing might be slightly off). "A major report published in 2008 shows that one-third of all children suffering from rare genetic diseases are British Pakistani. Yet they only make up one and a half percent of the total population." Yet there are people within the community who continue to remain in denial about the reality.

"My children were normal healthy babies but they were at the doctor's everyday for illness"...... they were not healthy yo
Then she blamed it on the "doctor's medicine". WOW😲🔫
Sounds just like all the anti-vaxxers saying that a life saving vaccination will give their child autism, but yet they’re okay with putting not only their child’s , but the general public’s, lives at stake from known pandemic causing organisms..... Ignorance is NOT bliss, people!!
@@brujablanca4941 ikr!?🤔🤔
@@brujablanca4941 vaccines are poison!!! They contain mercury,toxins,animal DNA and aluminum!! The mercury and aluminum cross the brain blood barrier and destroy brain cells. They damage health,especially the immune system. The diseases they supposedly protect us against are NOT life threatening! Natural immunity obtained from combatting actual wild viruses is far better and life long. The human body is AMAZING in what it can do. The immune system should be developed normally by nature. Babies should be breast fed and its up to the parents to limit exposure to harmful illnesses especially year one. Getting vaccines is like russian roulette, u are brainwashed!! Do your research,search for the thousands of parents testimony about their vaccine damaged children....its true!! If it happened to one of ur kids,nieces or nephews then you would be a believer. Theres a family that had their triplets damaged....3 healthy toddlers!!! PERFECT!!! The parents were even being cautious by doing single vaccines and spacing them out. ALL 3 babies woke up NORMAL that day....by bedtime the parents had 3 autistic children. I will try and find thier name for you....do ur research!!! Vaccines are toxic!!!
Bruja Blanca ,, my family’s anti vac🤡😭
They aren't ignorant. They know what they are doing, and what the risks are. They choose to do this anyways. Knowing they can just blame all kinds of other factors or people for their own cruelty. Hope to get sympathy, and attention. Its far worse than ignorance.
There’s sooo many of them why can’t they look outside there family?? That’s crazy
I love how she feels bad but keeps popping out kids
That is true, I was thinking about the same thing
You cant really blame her though. Like, most married couples never wear protection. And thats understandable why
Marcus Marcus is a third world country contraception is not widely known/encouraged/available
@Marcus Marcus not only that but most see marriage as a sacrement for procreation. Why use protection when marriage is the ticket (in most cultures and religion) to having and bringing up children?
4th times a charm
“It’s not high risk, it’s one in four” That’s called high risk
Yes, apparently education isn't high on the list.....
Right when you have 8 kids.
Right bc 1 is 1 too many
Omg and then his speech at the end 😭
When marrying a person who is not related is 7000 K to one risk then you are right , a sick barbaric practice that belongs in Pakistan , if you want to marry your relatives f++k off to Pakistan and have your ' Rat people' kzhead.info/sun/hbiSp7CtpYOAqoE/bejne.html
This is so heartbreaking! Poor boys. I don’t know how much of it I can watch! 😞
I see my cousins as my siblings so this is extra disgusting to me
Exactly!!!!
The amount of cringe and cold on the spine this gives me is impossible to describe
I'd rather kill myself than to marry my cousin
Ikr? It's similar to marrying full siblings, but it's literally the same as marrying an aunt, an uncle, or a half sibling.
Same
I consider this a crime against humanity. It should be illegal and punished severely. This is child abuse.
Bruh
ABSOLUTELY IT'S SOMETHING THEY CAN AVOID BUT INSTEAD THEY KEEP ON DOING IT EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW IS WRONG, NO WONDER THESE PEOPLE HAVE SO MANY ISSUES.
its basically a self genocide and and im here for it tbh. if they are gonna be this dumb they might as well get extinct yano
Hi Misfit I agree with you. I have just poured my heart out a few seconds ago. It should be considered as a crime certainly. The knowledge that there is ample possibility that genetic abnormality would most likely occur, yet the practice goes on, should fall in the same category as a crime if human right of the affected children is to be honoured. The concept of Culture underpinning the practice makes it appear ludicrous, by presenting the subject as a no go area. If so, the parents should foot the medical bills involved in trying to stabilise the lives of the afflicted. It sounds ridiculous to me that the health service is bowing to such a situation when it can simply be prevented.
I agree man ! This is despicable.
It's known for ages that having 1st cousin's baby is NO GOOD and bad for the child
My mother did this mistake and married her cousin and unfortunately I'm suffering many immune issues
All cultures aside. The UK needs to make this illegal with strict regulations.
I thought this was illegal? I’m In the US so I don’t know UK laws very well
@@elizabeth-leavesandreads2890 First cousin marriages aren't even illegal in every U.S. state. I live in one where it's legal, unfortunately.
@@elizabeth-leavesandreads2890 only SOME American states have made it illegal. In fact US is the only western country to have restriction and many states actually excuse to allow it because Christianity also "allows it", that's probably why you hear so many Alabama incest jokes. Luckly it has gone down but it's letting people like in these stories like this slip through the cracks. but who knows if more people like white couple showed around the end hope onto it more
It should be illegal everywhere
To #ukgoverernment you can and should do something 🗡⚖️
I don't care if it's culture. This is causing kids to suffer their entire, possibly short lives. If the benefits is that you get to already know each other's family or you have a good bond, then just marry a family friend or something.
Obviously it's culture because in Islam you can't marry your relative
Actually the Quran doesn’t you say you can’t marry your cousin so they can do it.
Its wealth most of the time. They want to keep the money in the family
What if your cousin is hot and you pull out?
Chop off their genitals
This is why, in Hinduism we don't even marry in same gotra, forget marrying cousins. If we marry someone, who is related uptil the 8th previous generation , this type of gene mutating problems occur. And, thank God our Rishis did find out 1000s of years ago.
Not so amongst Hindus in Malaysia. They don't marry cousins, they marry own niece!
@@rosita62 Hinduism does not allow marriage in family and extended family but there are local customs which tend to differ in this regard. In Tamil community of Hindus, the maternal uncle is allowed to marry his niece. As a non-tamil person, even I was shocked when I came across this custom. I believe you have come across Tamil Hindus in Malaysia.
Sadly you are wrong. It's common to marry your cousin or mama in south India
It’s not culture when it’s wrong, world needs to start recognizing it. Just because something was done for years doesn’t make it right
The parents : *sees how bad the first child came out* Yeah, let us make more
Lets try until one isn't sick and then that one can take care of us and all their siblings!
@@franziskahuber9664 lol 😂
No offense but I’m shocked about how many children they averagely make through their life. If I have more than two kids in the future I’ll be exhausted lol
Exactly. My parents had a genetic surprise and their 1st baby died because of it. After that they adopted my brother and me.
right?! it’s so infuriating like why would you do that ?????
they really kept having kids until they had a “normal” one
Stupid...yes!
💔
Those poor kids 💔
Yea also am your 666th like

SO CRUEL!!! Taxpayers have to pay for taking care of these unfortunate people. Is it possible that these people are so ignorant
The cousins made so much of love that they produced 6 children
This breaks my heart he wants to be normal and be able to drive and talk but he can't :(
I would let the poor man drive one last time or the first time in a VR headset. He deserves to be happy like the rest of us. Just make this inbred incest practice illegal.
Thank you, if u agreed, I am a bit less depressed now :)

@@Zerz0 there are special headsets tested for blind people so they can see for the first time, but they aren't made for the public, are very expensive and also don't run with every condition.
I grew up with my first cousins, the idea of marrying one of them would be like marrying a sibling 🤢
Literally bleh
😱
The thing with some culture, cousins are not mingling with one another (especially opposite genders) when they grow up. So, when they are adults, cousins feel like strangers
@@salsabilabawazir9441 Doesn't matter. Cousin are cousin...Too close. Like incest! 4th cousins are permitted.
duh obvio
My sincere advice to the Kashmiri/Mirpuri community living in the UK, is please return to your ancestral homelands. Why not burden the Pakistani NHS with your lifestyle choices?
It's probably worth mentioning that Kashmiris/Mirpuris are looked down upon by urban Pakistan (which is extremely classist but open-minded to interethnic marriage) because of their association with a rural part of Punjab notorious for religious hypocrisy, degeneracy and rabid conservatism. There's also this stereotype in Pakistan that Mirpuris/Kashmiris are "cunning" and will irrationally put family above all else. After this documentary, I'm not so sure if these are stereotypes anymore.
How does one look at their cousin and think mmh I wanna marry him/ her .. gross!! That’s like ones one sibling .. so sad for the kids and the boy crying
The innocent children have to pay the consequences for their parent's poor choices..absolutely heartbreaking..
@Madeline Prance omg no. Poor choice of cousin marriage and forced arranged marriages
@Ilikepyro if you say so
@Jackie Meintjes so true .i was shocked and appalled..seeing those children..how can you change that culture ?
@Madeline Prance tragic..
I’m confused... I understand this is a cultural norm and it’s important to keep certain traditions. The problem is when so many children are born with rare diseases and abnormalities, didn’t they ever consider abolishing this tradition? Especially after all these studies came out that it’s detrimental to the health of their children...
First cousins in my family are basically your siblings.
That's what I'm saying.
second cousins in my family are basically siblings too.
The more this continues the higher the percentage of same DNA
same

Pride goes before the fall. Pride is offended by everything & ashamed of nothing.🙄
I feel so sorry for that guy at the start.
I don’t understand... incest is illegal but it’s only accepted if it’s part of your “culture” how stupid... this is sickening
incest have different definitions among different cultures for example in ISLAM incest is the marriage between mother&son sister&brother, aunt and uncle with their nieces. but it's not illegal for cousins to marry each other and here is where the problem begins.
mohammad ali sadeghi I just don’t understand why they would want to marry their own family...
@@paigex4052 as a person who lives in Iran that unfortunately has this culture, I think nowadays it's mostly because of Islam culture that most boys and girls don't allow to have a relationship without marriage and they unconsciously pushed to fell in love with their cousins that they grownup with. luckily in Iran, this culture mostly disappeared but it's not illegal yet.
Marrying first cousins isn't actually illegal in the UK. I'm not agreeing it's right, but it isn't actually illegal.
Paige X I am muslim and traditionally it is forbidden to marry first cousins in my cultures.

Heartbreaking to be born into suffering and to have no good reason for it, other than a cultural practice. This is cruel. They suffer from the day they’re born.
the misleading statistical conclusion ignores that these cousins were also descendants of cousins, of cousins, of cousins…. and a 50% chance of passing a variant from one parent is significant when generations repeat it exponentially. parents passing the same variant to their offspring (two positive variant) becomes much more likely.) and can result in these defects.
Exactly, I came here to point that same thing out.
"They were *normal* at birth, but they had to see the doctor everyday bc they were *sick* ..." ??? Um...sure.

PanicGiraffe everyone understood BUT the sentence is just very wrong built haha
First of all how so she know they were normal at birth? Did she not think that her genes caused them to be sick every day afterwards?
My guess is that they mean the baby looked, ate, shat and cried like a normal baby
