I mean if it was it would have been more bad then good. However I have seen many little anecdotes of people attempting to attribute, albeit theoretically je genius of the jews due to them being forced and forcing themselves to only marry within themselves and often family.
Hypothesis are based on established truth. Yours is just a hunch. Unless I see something that could back your hypothesis.
Then I totally reject your notion that there is some good to it.

A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true.
Traditionally jews have a had a reputation to be a more closeted group in terms of marriage. I know that today they don't. But I'm using anecdotes from the past hence I'm using the words hypothesis and anecdotes.

I feel like you are downplaying the risk that comes with cousin marriages and trying to pass your hypothesis as something factual when you write
"I mean if it was it would have been more bad then good."
There is proof that cousin marriages comes with risk of hereditary diseases but wether there is something good about it is your own unproven hypothesis of yours so to say
"I mean if it was it would have been more bad then good."
As if its factual there may be something good in cousin marriages is wrong.

Having a marriage comes with risk of hereditary disease in of itself. First cousin marriage only has a risk of 4-6% whilst second cousin marriages are negligible since itโs about the same risk (2-3%) that non-cousin couples have. The issue is with multi-generational cousin marriage
Itโs fine if you have completely assimilated with modern western culture and see cousin marriage as taboo, but there is no need to enforce that on us and shoe horn it by overstating the risk
If cousins want to get married they can, the prophet Muhammed (SAWS) married his cousin, I'm not saying its Sunnah to marry your cousin but at the same time I don't agree with your view that people shouldn't marry their cousins.
This is a kufr statement and goes directly against the Quran.
Iโm not Muslim saxib. However Iโm strictly against inbreeding. Donโt think inbreeding is common in our communities. But they are people whoโve marry their cousins in order to connect to their sub, sub, sub, sub clans. anyways compare to other Muslim communities I believe ours is pretty low.

They share about 12.5% of the same DNAโฆ
Thatโs pretty bad regardless considering the similarities of our genetic makeups when weโre marrying within our sub subs clan. first marriage can go up to 13% higher. The issue is: because Somalis marry within their clans is not necessarily a good idea to marry your first cousin which can lead to genetic deformities.
Huh? Havent you read the thread. First cousin marriage is taboo in our culture and not recommend in Islam. So what western culture am I pushing. Y'all defending cousin marriage with your life.

Idk what you community you from but never heard of first cousins marrying each other.Taboo in which culture again? Have you ever been to Somalia
Also "its prevalent in Somalia" isnt an argument for continuing with this bad practice. You want to make us more incompetent, stupid and ugly? Ethnic Somalis need to mix. Go find a woman from another gobol. Your cousin cant be that pretty for you to defend first cousin marriage with your life

I donโt think marrying with in a sub sub clan is too bad. The genetic diversity within that clan always increases since there is a healthy amount of marrying from other clans. You might marry your cousin but your son will probably marry from another clan decreasing the already low risk. Plus, there really is no tradition or widespread multi-generational cousin inbreeding which the main problem

Every thing you have stated about first cousin marriage is completely non-factualโฆ
Itโs โprevalent in Somaliaโ was a counter to your claim that it is somehow taboo in our culture. I donโt dispute we need to mix but thatโs no reason to demonise a one off first cousin marriage

Cousin marriage is permissible in Islam however continuous cousins marriage is discouraged by the great scholars as it can lead to deformity's and its considered bad adaab. Here is the perspective of the madhab of somalis shafi'i
@Gacmeey your wrong on both accounts religious and cultural so just take the L ands stop promoting cousin marriages.
Our ancestors had a taboo on cousin marriage until recently.

If your parents are related or your grand parents. Then it isnt one off.
