Consanguineous Marriages:
Consanguineous marriages involve unions between individuals who share a common ancestor, typically within a close familial relationship. In such marriages, cousins or other relatives marry, resulting in a higher degree of consanguinity. While these marriages are culturally accepted in some societies, they pose an increased risk of genetic disorders, as shared genetic material may amplify the expression of recessive traits. The practice is influenced by cultural, religious, and social factors, and its prevalence varies worldwide.
