For one, I strongly suspect the individuals who undertake cousin marriage usually tend to imagine in non secular marriages so the authorized query can be null and void as they will not register their marriage with the state, except the state needs to crack down on third get together establishments which is uncertain given the racial optics. The communities that apply this are additionally usually insular, remoted and disadvantaged. These circumstances assist bolster arcane practices. More practical than the blunt instrument of the regulation can be opening up these communities and integrating them, socially and economically, into wider society. This may give people, particularly girls, extra choices and extra energy to withstand communal strain into cousin unions.
