Cousin marriage, or consanguinity (marriages among couples who are related as second cousins or closer), is allowed and often encouraged throughout the Middle East, and in other Muslim countries worldwide such as Pakistan. As of 2003, an average of 45% of married couples were related in the Arab world. While consanguinity is not unique to the Arab or Islamic world, Arab countries have had "some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world". The bint 'amm marriage, or marriage with one's father's brother's daughter (bint al-'amm) is especially common, especially in tribal and traditional Muslim communities, where men and women seldom meet potential spouses outside the extended family. Anthropologists have debated the significance of the practice; some view it as the definin

  • زواج الأقارب في الشرق الأوسط هي واحدة من أكثر الزيجات شيوعاً في الشرق الأوسط. وخصوصاً زواج أبناء وبنات العمومة وأبناء وبنات الخوولة وأبناء وبنات من نفس القبيلة. ومقارنةً بمناطق أخرى في العالم تعد منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا المناطق الأكثر شيوع في انتشار زواج الأقارب. ويرجع هذا لقبول الدين الإسلامي لذلك، ولأجل تطبيق الأعراف العشائرية. وحسب إحدى الدراسات ذكرت بأن 49% من الزيجات في الدول العربية هي زيجات أقارب.

Anthropologists have debated the significance of the practice; some view it as the defining feature of the Middle Eastern kinship system while others note that overall rates of cousin marriage have varied sharply between different Middle Eastern communities. In pre-modern times rates of cousin marriage were seldom recorded. In recent times, geneticists have warned that the tradition of cousin marriage over centuries has led to recessive genetic disorders. (en)
