Can you please share here the average IQ of cousin marrying Iran versus no cousin marrying India?

Yes, cross-cousin marriages were allowed in Vedic times and are referenced in scriptures like the Mahabharata and Bhagavata Purana. While modern Hindu law and many cultural traditions prohibit cousin marriage, historical texts provide examples of people like Arjuna and Subhadra, and Krishna and Mitravinda, who were cross-cousins. However, parallel cousin marriages, where the cousins are children of two brothers or two sisters, were generally prohibited because they were considered to be within the same gotra or lineage.


Ancient Vedic period

• Cross-cousin marriages were common: Scriptures like the Mahabharata and Bhagavata Purana contain references to cross-cousin marriages.
• • Examples: Arjuna married his maternal aunt's daughter, Subhadra. Krishna married his paternal aunt's daughter, Mitravinda.
  • Context: These marriages are sometimes explained as acceptable because the parties did not share the same bloodline, as in the case of Arjuna and Subhadra, whose mother Kunti was the sister of Subhadra's father.

Modern Hindu law and culture

• Prohibition: Modern Hindu law, specifically the Hindu Marriage Act, prohibits cousin marriages if the couple is within the prohibited degrees of relationship, making such a marriage void.
• Regional differences: While prohibited by law, cousin marriage is still practiced in some parts of India, such as the South, due to cultural reasons that vary by community.
• Gotra prohibition: Marriages within the same gotra are strictly prohibited, as individuals within the same gotra are considered siblings, regardless of how distant the relationship appears. Since children of two brothers (or two sisters) typically belong to the same gotra, parallel cousin marriages are considered within the same family race and are not allowed.

No need to go into past. it is prevalent in many communities in Hindus even today and very Common in Muslims. In some communities, it is allowed on mother side but not in father side. In some cases, they check few generations like 3 generation or 7 generations to allow close marriages. They should not have common ancestry before 7 generations to allow the marriages.

I replied to the questions on cousin in my community. I replied to the query. It is same as last paragraph of your post.

Yes. But you went into the science of it (western science ... when it suited your narrative).

And I simply disproved it.

Cousin marrying Parsis Iranis and Tam Brams are brainier than you.

Its not even an even contest. Unless you're talking business and making money.

And the looks ... well ...

First of all, I don't think they are brainier than me.

Second, Comparison should be in same group. For example, to verify your claim, you can check Parasis, sorry Parsis who are born out of close marriages and those who are born from normal marriages.

My first cousin (my dad his mum are siblings) is married to his second cousin from his dad's side.

They have gorgeous daughters.

Doing very well in their fields.

There are many such examples in my own family and circle.

Dont need to do an anecdotal community level rebuttal.

In IQ the stats are clear.

Your personal claims are only claims till we actually test your IQ.

Do you guys marry your cousins?

Cousins? Cousin marriage kaunsi badi baat hai? Haven't you heard of Avunculate marriages in South India? Google yourself. Although this practice of Avunculate marriage is most probably being stopped with changing times. It is shameful but I am being honest in my reply.
