i don't know because it's inconclusive and I'm knowledgeable on the issue to give answer to that questionI mean pregnant women giving brith to children with autism in somalia compared to the west.
My bad i worded it bad.
However the fact that there isnβt a word for Autism in somali might support my hypothetical.
Damn isaaqcels have no one to marryE.g if you are hawiye marry Daarood, Daarood marry Dir, dir Marry Digil and mirifle, Digil iyo mirifle marry hawiye etc and on and on.
I think it should be discouraged at the very least. I forgot to alter the beginning part to remove ban after i was doing more research.This topic is a non issue in Somalia since we donβt really do extended periods of cousin marriages but regardless you canβt ban something Allah has made halal. One incident of a first cousin marriage only increases the risk by 1.7%-2.8% which isnβt really that much especially if the family has no history of genetic disorders which brings me to my second point.
If we ban cousin marriages because of a slightly elevated risk of a genetic disorder or illness, do we ban people with genetic disorders that can be inherited, like cystic fibrosis, Huntingtonβs, down syndrome, Alzheimers and many more from having children?
Doesn't Isaaq come under Dir?Damn isaaqcels have no one to marry
Isaaq comes under ibn maqrobiaDoesn't Isaaq come under Dir?
Or are they ibnu Haashims.
A good source of genetic diversity would be oromized somalis we could reintegrate them back into somalinimoI've never met a 1st or 2nd cousin married couple. If we do marry it tends to be in clans of our own like a MX marrying a MJ or something. Sometimes sub clans marry as well but the relation is often tge great great grandfather. However the practice of 1st cousin marriages should definitely be a taboo.
We as men should marry other clans to strengthen relations but we should also marry certain ajnabis for genetic diversity. I suggest Turks, levantine, north African and most importantly other cushitic branches.
Digil and Mirifles can't be compared to hawiyes and daroods as they're much more heterogeneous, infact every clan is, an Eelay Bohorad marrying a Eelay Naasiye would be equivalent to Hawiye marrying a darood.I would even go as far to say marry from a different Qabiil all together.
One positive dhaqan of the early Somalis was to create peace they would marry each others women. I think this is something good as we currently have a lot of conflict within Somalia.
Maybe if everybody made it a duty to marry from a completely different tribe this would increase the peace and love people have.
E.g if you are hawiye marry Daarood, Daarood marry Dir, dir Marry Digil and mirifle, Digil iyo mirifle marry hawiye etc and on and on.
At the end of the day you can't hate your reer abti. I've noticed the least qabiilist people usually have parents of different qabiils. They are less tribalist and more reer magaal.
Hawiye and daarood are the same. If you look at hawiye and Daarood haplogroups you would see they are also heterogenous.Digil and Mirifles can't be compared to hawiyes and daroods as they're much more heterogeneous, infact every clan is, an Eelay Bohorad marrying a Eelay Naasiye would be equivalent to Hawiye marrying a darood.
That's not good reasoning. Most languages don't have a word for autism.I mean pregnant women giving brith to children with autism in somalia compared to the west.

Somalis have really high amounts of genetic diversity so cousin marriage wonβt harm us, we are not whites or native Americans.This topic is a non issue in Somalia since we donβt really do extended periods of cousin marriages but regardless you canβt ban something Allah has made halal. One incident of a first cousin marriage only increases the risk by 1.7%-2.8% which isnβt really that much especially if the family has no history of genetic disorders which brings me to my second point.

If youβre talking about Somali millennials in the west then yes itβs rare but gen X have engaged in cousin marriages quite a bit from what I can tell.I've never met a 1st or 2nd cousin married couple. If we do marry it tends to be in clans of our own like a MX marrying a MJ or something. Sometimes sub clans marry as well but the relation is often tge great great grandfather. However the practice of 1st cousin marriages should definitely be a taboo.

My problem is not the disgust its the genetic issues that frequent cousin marriages bring along.Cousin marriage is disgusting and Somalis don't even marry there cousins
