Debate: Does Islam Drive Cousin Marriage and Social Harm More Than Christianity?
A heated debate compares Islamic and Christian societies on rates and effects of cousin (consanguineous) marriage, violence, and broader social outcomes. One side argues cousin marriage is far more common in the Islamic world (citing Pakistan at about 65%) and claims it contributes to lower IQ, birth defects, weaker economic progress, and other harms, asserting the West has largely eliminated it. The argument expands to whether studies using multivariable analyses show Islam as a contributing factor to child marriage, partner violence, and interstate conflict, with references to Davis Brown, Monica Duffy Toft, and Jonathan Fox.
