There are 7.88 billion people on earth. I just don't see why, unless one is stranded on a remote island indefinitely with a tiny clan, cousin marriage is even a thing.
Okay now that my tasteless joke is out of the way… it’s probably got something to do with religions and people who hate going outside their echo-chambers & comfort zones.
The writer at the Economist really needs to contemplate the first cousins who would get married. They’d be weird. You know, like wearing a fake muscle suit under their clothes and thinking they’re pulling it off.
