Egypt is reputed to have the world's highest rate of consanguinity marriages because cousin marriages are numerous. The fact is that congenital health defects are rife with children born of such relations. Therefore, it becomes a question of whether by having a baby with your cousin you are prepared for the health consequences, because some strange health cases are only found in Egypt!

It's not illegal to have a child with your cousin and in many countries you can even marry. The health effects on your children have been found to be as many as on people not related. The example above shows what might happen when you do it for generations and never seek anyone out of your family.
