Conservative MP Calls for Ban on Cousin Marriage in Multicultural Britain

Breitbart-

A senior Conservative MP has called for the UK to ban marriages between first cousins amid concerns over birth defects and the structures being used to control women.

Former government minister Richard Holden, the member of parliament for Basildon and Billericay, will table the Marriage (Prohibited Degrees of Relationship) Bill to the House of Commons this week for further consideration.

While marriage laws in Britain prohibit the consecration of some familial relationships by the state, such as siblings and parents with their children, no law prevents the marriage of first cousins.

Speaking to The Telegraph, the MP said: “People already think it is illegal and then are surprised when you mention it isn’t.”

Holden remarked that cousin marriages not only increase the rate of birth defects but also can be used as a means to “reinforce negative structures and control women.” more
