That’s what I thought too that genetics being mixed will lead to genetic disorders. Thanks for covering that. It felt weird when I first started watching South Indians movies and saw that marriage between cousins and I thought i misunderstood something in the movie
We see a lot of this in our culture. And I've yet to see more number of disabled children but I've seen some though. Today's generation is drifting towards love marriages because of better education.
My girlfriend is telegu and when she first told me about this I was like "yuck". I won't lie but it took me some time to accept this as normal. Later she explained to me why this is practiced and finally i have normalized this to some extent. Even this video was suggested by her.
In kerala,in a hindu caste named nair they are allowed to marry cousins. They are allowed to marry their father's sister's son/daughter or mother's brother's son/daughter. So its not a sin in hindu religion as you said.

Fr, it's always been cringe when some guy who likes me, insists calling himself as my bava 😭😭😭😭 (uncle in Telugu and am niece) why tf is this taken romantic it's always! been cringe to me being a south Indian myself. Like boy you're no where related to my family either what's with that wild reference. I've always been careful not to be shipped being someone's niece cause it's such a normal reference that it's seen in family movie plots as such a destined story. And they're certain kind of relatives who have this "bava-mardal" in their head all the time that's it's possible. I never liked it! Why is it so possible thing. What is with this uncle niece ref all the time.
bro it may be anything father sister daughter or fathers brother daughter or mothers brother daughter or mothers sister daughter are our brother and sister because we share blood connection them and even with grand father cousins and their grand childrens and grand mother cousins and their grand childrens also we share blood connection and these type marriages should be stopped for god sake
Even discussing this topic is taboo in North india and you would be considered some kind of mentally affected person if you happen to discuss marriage between cousins,something akin to discussing marriage between brother sister.But I suppose it’s all about cultural upbringing.
right from childhood we call our cousins as wife and husband in tamizl ..... but in adulthood first preference is given for cousin marriage and if it didnt workout , we will marry outside ...... and after we will call them by their names and not with former name we called.....
Mohak chooses less controversial issues and chooses more issues which we really need to know deeply that's why I like Mohak's channel. Thank you very much for bringing such videos continuously.
I am from West Bengal and here in Hindu family a brother or uncle is regarded as a' second father' and girls respect them as well and men also take care of them 😊 to think about marrying them is nothing but a nightmare and it's also ruined the beautiful relationship among cousins. We celebrate Bhai duj ( Bhai fonta ) , Rakhsabandhan with love and respect with all cousins.
@@Subhadwip-gq6vo If you have read about Ray's life , you would also learnt that his whole family members were against this marriage and Mrs Ray was also afraid of this awkward relationship but they were in love and were successful to convenience their families.....after all we could found exception in everywhere but that doesn't mean we support or accept the culture just because a famous personalities accept it ( I am a big fan of his film and literature but when I came to know about his marriage it was really weird feelings for me )
I'm a kerala Christian. We consider cousins as our siblings. While studying in Chennai i had a classmate whose parents were uncle and niece. Though their marriage was happy, my classmate said she will never marry her relative. I think in current generation nobody wants to marry relatives.
@Motivationalquotesmalayalam is it? It's not in entire Kerala , it is in your family only not in Kerala . My whole village is still continue to take relative cousin in another village
In Telugu states your father's brother's daughter is SISTER to you..but you can marry your father's sister's daughter...same for mother. Your mother's sister's daughter is SISTER to you but you can marry your mother's brother's daughter In short, you can marry your parent's opposite gender sibling's daughter/son

@Manoj i am aware of that. I just find it so interesting to know differences in people of same religion but different places. India is indeed a cosmic cuious. And i am proud of that.
A fun fact : Arjun and Subhadra were cousins. Arjuna's mom and Subhadra's dad were siblings. In South India the cousin you can marry has to be between bua and mama 's kids. However, the numbers have greatly reduced due to biological defects such marriages can cause.
This is also common in gujrat in ahir community yadav of gujrat can marry to bua or mama son or daughter . But not with cousins like father brother son or daughter or mother sister son or daughter. They have been called brother and sister but mama and bua son or daughter not called brother or sister the marriage can be done if family and girl and boy are ok
South people also only marry in father's sister son or mother brother son not marry mom sister son or daughter and father brother son or daughter and it's most common 80s and 90s people but now a days people not interested to marry in close relative like mom's brother son or daughter like that because one is genetic issue and another thing now a days children's are mold to dislike relative marriage .
In Manipur we never thought of such things just even in once lifetime,It's a sin in our culture to marry someone to whom we share our direct blood line, like cousins from uncle ,aunts etc

Though its very common in Muslim culture, my grandfather was dead against cousin marriage mainly because of possibility of biological disorder also it was weird for him that the kids who grew up considering each other as brothers and sisters should see each other as potential spouses.
Well it doesn't make me feel anything. If it didn't lead to birth defects then i wouldn't bat an eye if someone were to marry their own sister even. I could never do it but why do I care what anybody else does in their life? But since it's a major health risk I'll definitely be against it no matter what.

I am from Karnataka and I can speak for almost all people who live in northern part of Karnataka. This practice used to be common till my parents' time but has reduced significantly these days. Main cause to stop the practice was that we as a society saw some health problems in children born out of such marriages. Not in all children but in few cases. To clarify more on what's cross cousin is. They could may their Mama's or Atte/Buwa's kids. Marrying Kaka/Chikkappa/Chacha's or Chikkamma/chikki/mausi's kids was strictly prohibited, no one even thought about it. I have not seen a single such case in my entire life. As of marrying ones niece: back in days people used to have lots of kids. So imagine a case where the eldest offspring was a girl and youngest offspring say 7th or 8th child was a boy. Now obviously there's a huge age difference between these 2 Sister and Brother. Now, it was very common that the girls used to get married in early ages. You can imagine this bride's youngest brother running around in her marriage in shorts with runny nose 😀 This sister used give birth to children very early. So now this Eldest sister's daughters and her youngest brothers were of same age and compatible for marriage from the age perspective. As you married off your elder sister to a different man outside your family, her lineage became totally different. (her kids Gotra would be different than yours). Hence marriages were allowed. Nowadays these practices exists close to none.
nowhere such practice in karnataka blindly informed in message, you delivered as father of karnataka. no one married in karnataka a such practice. Here i see some muslim family has been following.
I'm from andhra and yes it happens with limitations, the daughters and sons of same sexes are seen as sisters and brothers while opposite sexes are seen as potential marriage partners, I never understood the logic behind it and left it thinking it's just part of the culture.
Bro annakodu kani islam and south indian marriages ni kalpesi he made people confused Well cross cousin will obviously have different gotras and he created a pov as we don't follow hindu tradition Because as ramdev baba said same gotra people shouldn't marry but obviously cross cousins have different gotras and the genetic thing is actually true so that is the only reason we should give less preference

Technically not. In Hinduism you can marry your cousin ONLY IF your mother/father sibling is the opposite gender. Example: You can marry your cousin because it's your Dad's sister son. And this is usually the case. I'm not talking all. But as someone who was born in Andhra Pradesh,this is the case for most i can say
I'm a child born from a Consanguine marriage. My family in Kerala actually don't appreciate such a marriage, but in my case, parents fell in love with each other. I never knew much about the negative aspects of Consanguine marriages, so few years back I had fallen in love with my cousin as well, and we were in a relationship for almost a year. That is when I learnt about this and shared the information with her as well. I realised how lucky I was to be born without any abnormalities, and we mutually got out of the relationship. We were in love when we broke up. But we did it, only to avoid the risk of spoiling a child's life and also for a happier future. More people in South India should be educated about the problems of Consanguine marriages.
There is always a option of adopting a child... That way one can spend the rest of the life with their loved ones. There is a saying, "Love knows no bounds.".
Risk of birth defects in consanguineous marriages is overrated. Risk is even lesser in communities that have practiced consanguinity for thousands of years and have inherited stronger genes over the years, not weaker genes. Don't take my word for it. Look up research. Not the one done on people from typically non consanguineous society, but are born out of consanguineous relationship. Look for research done on rate of birth defects in consanguineous society and you will know
I belong to a tribe in Assam. In my tribe, there are lots of restrictions regarding marriage. You cannot marry if both the bride and spouse have same title( even though they are not related in any sort), and many more complicated rules, cousins are treated as brothers and sisters. It's incredible that our ancestors have adopted those rules to prevent biological disorders of the offerings from the ancient times when there were no education system at all. Because of this practice we hardly see any physical abnormalties in our tribe.
My own father and mother are cousins from the mother side and got married just because my mother had a government job :) and from my childhood I've seen a hell of fights between them that my and my siblings' mental well being is far from okay. I am highly prone to diseases and frequently on meds. I've found this cousins and uncle-niece marriage concept utterly disgusting from what I've experienced. People need to be educated about this and just stop being married for these sick reasons!! Or just stop being married!! There's a lot more in life than marriage, trust me.

As a biologist and someone who learned genetics and cells, I want to say that it's not good for health and is the main reason behind many genetic diseases almost 10%.
This concept of 'cousin marriages' have always irked me growing up. And it also made talking with cousins a wierd/stereotypical one as against talking with siblings from father's brothers/mother's sisters. You always have a sense that you can't mingle with your cousins freely. Because if you do, society will think that you are interested with them. Even parents think so. Being from South India, I like the North Indian perspective of these marriages and I want to consider my cousin as a sibling and want to mingle with them freely during family unions.
I always enjoyed interacting with my paternal aunts' daughters and did end up marrying one of them. Now happily married with a healthy baby, ofcourse ❤️

We muslims dont share this concept of forbidden cousin marriage. For we muslims it is a myth... Talking about the zar Dynasty with blood cancer doesn't make any sense to universilze it. E g in our Kashmir there are chances of more than 70% cousin marriage rather it is 100% the child mortility rate is 1.7 while in Assam say there it seems to be a big sin the mortility rate there is 3.7 and average National infant mortility rate is 2.7.... I know some people are trying to give scientific attire to the grand mythology but believe me the sampling techniques are too much problematic. what if the person you are marring has another disease and what if the genes are dominat so rather than one the child born will be
I'm from Andhra Pradesh and I've personally experienced this issue. My paternal aunt considered me as a 'perfect bride' for her son and even my cousin was perfectly fine with the idea of marrying me (I'm seven years younger than him). They even proposed the match to my father. I was horrified because I always called my cousin 'elder brother' and to learn that he did have a romantic interest in me, when all while I considered him a sibling, sickened me to the core. My father rejected it without second thoughts as he was against cousin marriages having learnt in his late twenties about 'incest' and the resulting genetic problems in the later generations. Yay to father! My aunt was upset when my father rejected her and she even had the gall to say to my father "If you marry her into our household we'll take care of her. Since I'm her aunt, you can rest the fear that she might suffer under her in-laws. Also, the dowry will remain in our family without going to nameless outsiders." My father simply said "Bold of you to assume that I'll be offering any form of dowry," and the argument quickly escalated and the relations naturally strained after that. Even today my father and aunt barely spare a polite greeting at family gatherings. And me being awkward, I just turn opposite whenever I spot my aunt or cousin. I was the lucky case but my classmate from University was married to her cousin right after graduation. Cousin marriages are a common occurance in South India and regarded as normal and 'part of the tradition.' I'm glad that this issue is being spoken of. Edit: Incest is a common issue across religions and the people who practice this 'tradition' aren't even aware that cousin marriages come under incest. You see not all cousins can marry. I'm a Hindu and I can marry my paternal aunt's son and also marry my maternal uncle's son--these fellas are not technically adressed as brothers, they have a separate form of address so as to prevent any awkwardness later on if I marry them ( though my dad instructed me to call them as brothers from early age)but I cannot marry my maternal aunt's son or my paternal uncles's son(they are considered as brothers). I don't know if it's true but my mother said that the opposite applies for muslims. So, it's like everyone have their own rules for acceptable incest.
My girlfriend is telegu and when she first told me about this I was like "yuck". I won't lie but it took me some time to accept this as normal. Later she explained to me why this is practiced and finally i have normalized this to some extent. Even this video was suggested by her.
There was an uncle in my colony who was from Hyderabad he told me about this, at first I couldn’t believe him coz I thought this only happens in Muslim community. Glad that your father rejected the proposal. I think there should be some sort of campaign against such practices.
Being a Jain in our culture we have something called "Saka" which means we are restricted to not marrying the ones who share the surname of both my mother's side and father's side family. Its believed that this practice avoids pre-mature baby deaths, diseases, genetic problems, and various health issues to an extent.
Yeah in my people(Haryanvi) .we leave gotra one from mother side then father side then grandmother (dadi) side and last one from grandmother (nani) side .so you can't marry if girl has gotra maching anyone of them. Then the village exogamy is practiced . 😀😀

what nonsense is this. Gotra system is there in south India. Check your facts before spreading wrong information. No one in South marry in same gotra. Also for your kind information South India is far more culturally rich and educated than North. South Indians are still deep rooted to traditions compared to North. In the comment section people are just talking nonsense, as if cousin marriages haven't happened in north India and is happened/happening only in South India. It dates back to Mahabharata time. Krishna and Arjuna were first cousins. Arjuna married Subhadra, younger sister of Krishna and Balarama. Not just this, if you will look in to Hinduism in deep you will find many such, like Arjuna's son marrying Balarama's daughter and so on. Although I don't support cousin marriages, its a fact that it existed throughout India. So stop this bullshit of North India and South India difference. Its just some ancient traditions are still followed in South India. For people who are commenting that South Indians are uneducated or uncivilized, I have only one thing to say- you guys need to educate yourself a lot ( a lot in the sense a lot), need to come out of the 250 year old British mindset of calling others as uneducated or uncivilized. South India is far more culturally rich and educated part of India.(and the reason for this is thanks to North Indians who were fighting battles for 800-1000 years against Mughals and other invaders from the North, these invaders destroyed a significant part of North Indian temples/ Hindu historical places/ ancient educational centers). Lets educate yourself and putting aside of differentiating yourselves as South Indians or North Indians.
I am from Kolkata, when I was in class 7-8 my tuition teacher told my mother that her father and her late mother were cousin. We couldn't care less because we knew that in muslim community it is allowed to marry first cousin. However her younger sister whose age was around 17-18 years was deformed and had a brain of 2-3 year old child, she couldn't even walk instead she would slither, she couldn't alarm her sister whenever she wanted to defecate or urinate and she couldn't even speak. I felt sorry for her and always questioned why would god make her like this. But recently few years ago i realised that her condition could have been due to her parents' cousin marriage. I haven't communicated with my teacher since I cleared class 8 and its been more than 10 years. I hope her sister is surviving.
Since most of these congenital diseases are attributed to recessive genes, its been estimated that chance of these disease manifesting in the offsprings rise up by at least 30% when marriages are done within family.
In the South, people consider atthai(mami)/mama's daughter/son consider for marriage.. not chitthi/chittappa(maasi/kaka) 's daughter/son, they are brothers n sisters

I'm Sindhi and we treat our cousin brothers and sisters as our own siblings. Our uncle and aunt are like our second parents. We can't even think about having romantic feelings lol. The minute we see our cousin even the ones that lived abroad and visited after many years, we feel no attraction lol. Its weird, its like we get a smell from the cousin that automatically turns us off sexually. Can't imagine having sex with someone we don't feel any attraction for.

@Superman's doberman I'm not saying anything about marrying cousins. All I mean is for me marrying cousin would be same a marrying my own sibling because from childhood we are raised as if w all are from one family. I'm not calling it a sin, stop getting worked up. Just telling you why some people feel weird from this because of how they are brought up. That's all
I am from Tamilnadu. Yes marrying cousins and close relatives is common in South India. In olden days the idea was to keep the property within the family. That is why such marriages were conducted and accepted. Even though it was and is a disaster genetically. As of now it has come down to a great extent in urban areas but in the rural belt it still persists. The biological implications of it for the children born out of such marriages is grave. Education and repeated reinforcement is the only way the society will give up such a practise. Any social change takes years. There will be a lot of resistance too from the conservative elements.
Uma, I don’t endorse these marriages but if this disease thing was correct then most of the South Indians would have some disease or the other as it has been happening for 2000 years.
I'm from Kerala. Cousin marriages are almost non existent to the point I've never even heard of one happening. The first time i heard about this being in practise in the South was when some guy on the internet called me a cousin lover in an attempt to ridicule me.😂
It's not non existent in Kerala bro ..Malayalam movies normalised cousin marriage untill 2000, I think such storyline became not much seen in movie when it became less popular .I know 2 couples who are cousin,they fell in love with each other . I think they knew that in olden days cousin marriage was a thing,so they might be see the potential to fall in love ..In mum's generation other reason of cousin marriage is financial...if the girl is poor or lower middle class who is also unemployed ,her family were expected to give dowry,if her cousin agree to married her, it avoid family to go through such situations.. now people know that marriage is not a mandatory thing in our life .And every one starts give importance to their life rather than obeying parents will even if they are wrong and today's parents also not interested in cousin marriage since they don't get along with relatives thank god😂😂..but ofcourse it not completely faded in Kerala .but numbers are much better than other South Indian states .
oh my that's disgusting. i am from south india and i hear people joking about marrying me off to my cousin. it's the most disgusting thing i know. it's so awkward and uncomfortable. for me and for the world, they are supposed to be our siblings, but for some cultures, nah.
My parents are first cousins. Because of this, my brother was born with poor eyesight and asthma. It’s wrong to marry your cousin. It leads to many disorders.
Hey a quick question, purely out of curiosity. Does ur brother brother have any trait that is unusually good? Like a trait that u might share with him, but his version of it is way better? Again, and seriously, purely out of curiosity.
I am a Gujarati married to a Kannadiga. My husband's brother married some sort of cousin (not aware of the exact relation) and when I first realized this, I was shocked. For me, all cousins are brothers, so I didnt understand how this could happen. Slowly I learnt that this is common in South India. My husband's brother has a son now who is 11 years old and my daughter is 6 years old. I can see so many health and a bit of mental issues in my bro in law's (BIL) son. It's sad to see the physical suffering of the child. And there are quite some mentally challenged children in my husband's family. More than the amount you would see otherwise in families. And I have come to realize its due to these cousin marriages. I once spoke to my husband about it, but he just brushed it aside. He was either embarrassed or didnt like what he was hearing. With science so advanced and evidence available that such marriages can and will lead to genetic issues in the progeny, I dont understand why people still follow this tradition? My heart breaks for my nephew who will always suffer health issues due to a mistake made for traditions' sake. And the cherry on top is, while nephew celebrates rakhi with my daughter, he does not with his bua's daughter cause she is a potential bride for him. My mind is just f u c k e d!!!!
thank u for sharing this real instance... its high time leave this tradition... our society hv to understand that all tradition which hv built those were suitable at those times we hv keep updating n removing those bcoz these r not at all relevant to current situation... n also we hv scientific proof on this to demolish... its responsibilty of current generation to understand this n act accordingly...

@@oskarjung6738 Still there are no terrorist attacks in Kerala or religious riots like cowbelt states. By the way UP had more Isis recruites than Kerala.
You only call your cousins as Brother and sister in Indo-Aryan languages (North Indian), Dravidian languages follow a whole different kinship system where parallel cousins are referred to as brother and sister but cross cousins have special words. Also the our words of Cross-Aunt/Uncle are the same as the words for In-Laws, for example both your mother's brother and your husband's/wife's father is called mama in Telugu. Same for words for your wife's/husband's siblings and your Cross-Cousins. Coming to the weird feeling thing, it is weird to you cause you grew up calling your cousins the same word and your siblings and considered them your siblings, in the same way we are always reminded (from childhood) that our cross cousins can be our potential spouses and also our media also shows a lot of romantic stuff between Cross-Cousins so it's kinda normal for us. If you go ask a Telugu or a Tamil person what they think on marrying their parallel cousins, they'd act the same way you are acting, disgusted even by the thought of it, as we grew up with a feeling that they are our siblings and using the same words we use for our own siblings with them, infact even parallel aunt and uncles are referred with the same word as our parents but with a prefix like big and small, for example parallel uncle who is elder than your father is called pedda-nanna/bapu (big-father) and parallel uncle who is younger than your father is called chinna-nanna/bapu,Babai (small-father)
Also in muslims you can't keep on marrying cousins successively, for eg. If your parents are cousins then you can't marry your cousin as this will lead to diseases in your children.
Kerala has come out of this old custom to a large extend. Compared to other 4 four THE percentage of cousin marraiges are very low, though every other film of 70 and 80s where following the trend
Being from Maharashtra, cousin marriages are very much prevalent here....with even tv serials promoting them ...and like in southern india, even we cant marry same gender sibling's son/daughter but can marry opposite gender's son/daughter...Moreover, even we follow the GOTRA system....
Yes, that's why Maharashtra in many angles of view is considered as a Southern Indian State (mostly). Dravidian kinship is something among the similarities between the "Dravidian" States and Maharahstra.
Actually Maharshtra Called as South in history, they considered themselves as dakshinpanthi there are many references to it. Maharashtra and South states were under one rule for thousands of years unlike North. that's why we share some festivals like gudi padwa and many with south Indians. Our language does not associated with Hindi unlike other languages in North Indian which directly are dialect of Hindi or associated with Hindi. We just belong to Indo Aryan category language and nothing else. Just as same shrilankas language Sinhalese is also comes under indo Aryan language

They also talked about how they liked each other since their teenage, basically they romanticized cousin marriages a lot. I found it really weird. Also, in Marathi serials I've seen some married women calling their mother-in-law as aatya (bua). Maybe I'm watching too much of Zee Marathi with my aaji.
Now days every one is doctor??🧐 Culture is main important thing to practice such a thing..if i stay in latur Maharashtra..will i understand culture, rituals of Western Maharashtra.. even language ,tone also not same..yes there are many happy married couple ..but yeah it could be change

@@maheshpatil-he8ny lol, there are detailed studies about the dreadful consequences of cousin marriage, especially based in Pakistan. Having read those, it’s absolutely true that genetic deformities are more likely in such cases. It’s a fact, not an opinion. One needs to be sociologist to understand this, not doctor. We all are from same culture, it’s better to improve one generation at a time.
Here in Maharashtra the most common cousin marriage is with Mama ki beti/ Bua ka beta. I have seen some cases in my relatives and family friends where the child born from such marriage is mentally weak. It is very very rare for me to find any defective child born in a non-cousin marriage
Even in Telugu states, cross cousin marriages do happen, but not compulsory. But the compulsory thing is that we shouldn't marry within same gotra. Gotra system is strictly followed here. Cross cousins will anyhow not share same gotra unlike Parallel cousins. Here, Mami/Buaa/Saas is called Atta. And Mama/Phupha/Sasur is called Mama. But, Mausi/Badimaa/Chachi is equivalent to Mother and Mausa/Badepapa/Chacha is equivalent to Father.

I'm from bihar. studied at one of south college. although I was shocked to hear that they can marry their cousins, but no more shocked. I talked my friends, and the case is like - if you're a boy - you can marry your father's sister's daughter OR mother's brother's daughter. Similarly for Girls. Fun fact is: in bihar, one of village, my brahmin friend is there, and he said they cant marry any girls of that community from that village for they all are like sisters.
One day I asked my father that why we have to tell the priest in the temple about our GOTRA everytime we visit? He said GOTRA is said to be a common relation from a common ancestor and two same GOTRAS should not marry amongst each other as there can be problems among their child. I half heartedly believed that becoz on one side I understood that same blood can cause some problems but was not sure what was the probability of that. Good !
Bro 'Consanguineous' word is pretty fancy......In context of animal husbandry closely related animals are not mated because it might lead to inbreeding depression..... Many Hindu practices have science hidden behind it....
@@shivangmishra9325 true. Sadly the scientific part is getting lost rapidly and just the terms are getting behind, which makes ppl think it's just an old tradition
@@profezagaming9158 lol gotra can never stop u from inter caste marriage cause two different caste have different gotra and u can marry in different gotra but not itn ur own gotra.
I am from AP, we do have & follow gotra system as well. Marriage between parllel cousins or first cousins is NO here mostly. Don't know about rest of South India. Marriage between uncle and niece used to happen few years ago, but it has gone down a lot, i mean so much down ( some exception cases if age gap between bride & groom is low ,5 - 7 yrs max ). Marriages between second cousins & cross cousins is still happening. People now a days are exposed & having a lot of awareness, hopefully it dies down.
I agree. Mohak's topic is good but there are some mistaken conclusions due to poor or insufficient research. Mohak needs to study the more in depth statistics to understand this intricate topic. I wish to give some points: (1) Consanguine marriages are not modern in India, it has dwapara yug examples also. Most recently evidence was found that all India is one gene, north/south or aryan/dravidian divide is politically motivated from British era to divide and rule. (2) Gotras concept is very much there in southern states also; hence to conclude anything through the difference of numbers between northern states and southern states (I doubt whether those numbers are correct!) is superficial. You could of course say that 50% is sa-gotra in first cousin marriage and it reduces to the second and tertiary levels. However, to prove that people of northern states have been conscious to avoid sa-gotra marriage, there is a need to delve into the statistics of second cousin and second uncle/niece marriages.
Hello brother these things are common in our South India. We are all fit and fine, don't worry about us. This is our culture.The think is you don't understand our relationship. No were on the earth you can Stop this kind of practice in South India because all our earlier South Indian king's, Present Film stars, politicians etc follow this rules. Infact we are much more developed than North 😀. If you don't like it then please move on and mind your own business don't spoil our culture.
we have gotras in tamilnadu too. we cant marry our father side cousins because of same gotra, but mother side isok, since they belong to another gotra. research before making sweeping generalisations.
@@fraddi Its like a family name that tells your paternal ancestry, which you inherit from your father. And if you are a woman and marry, you later inherit the gotra of your husband and let go your paternal gotra. Similarly a man's gotra remains same for his lifetime and it passes on to his wife and his children. (This is how we practice the gotra thingy here in South India)
@@vaibhavreddy4128 After many many many generations that becomes very complicated to follow and Im guessing you are marrying your cousin regardless of Gotra since its just generations of intermixing within the same community.
@@fraddi Thats the whole point of whom to marry and whom not to. We just see the family as it has been for day past 100 years. But being human we are always related to every other human by some remote marital connection be it in the present or distant past.

How about Arjuna and subhadra? And i see most of them here in comment section misunderstood the 'cousin' thing. In South it's usually like this: if u are a boy then u can marry ur father's sister's daughter or ur mother's brother's daughter. Like wise for a girl. And we never consider this as a brother -sister relationship. Never ever. Bcoz it's different gotras. And i see most of them are asking how can u marry ur sister or brother. It's a different relationship.

In North,(Jharkhand) Marrying any of the relative, even a far relative is considered as a sin or even crime especially in hindus. Relatives will treat you in a very disrespectful way. This is the culture here from 1000 years. Even muslims are following this culture partially. 👍🏼

Unfortunately, THIS IS SUCH A DISORDER that remains with the dynasty forever. Even AYURVEDA CANNOT cure it. This was the sole reason that the Varna, Jati and Gotra was considered so fanatically and people who converted from Hindu to Muslim were not converted back to Hindu. Neither during the time of Maharana Pratap nor during the time of Chhatrapati Shivaji.
It happens all over the world except in hindu culture that is except for in South India. Cousins are not considered siblings. This is to keep the property intact. I don’t know what is so shocking about this fact.

I am from Kerala Brahmin community and we consider our paternal and maternal cousins as brothers and sisters. We don't marry our cousins. However, I have seen people who are second cousins getting married in rare occurrences. Or even third cousins. Also, cousin marriages are rare in Kerala nowadays in all the communities due to the more number of educated people.
Bro, South india is being used as a scapegoat for justifying Cousin marraiges of Islam. While in reality since the spread of Christianity was more in south India hence people redefined the Gotra system so as to suit their purpose. From kashmir to kanyakumari, India runs on Gotra system. What Some of the southerners are doing is a result of the misinterpretation of Gotra system. Edit 1:- Gotra system is so deeprooted in the Indian society that most of the Tribes have Gotra system too. This is enough to prove the importance of Gotra system while finding the right match in Indian subcontinent.

Actually the marriages in South India are between sister's offspring and her brother's (maternal uncle) offspring. NOT between two brother's children or two sister's children. This guy has put both cases in the same category. Among Muslims marriage is common between two brother's children or two sister's children.

Hi Mohak, I am a Tamizhan. I want you to know that unlike what is said in this video , Gotra system exists in south India too. It is the gotra system that prevents parallel cousin marriages. If you see parallel cosuins will always have same gotra & cross cousins will belong to different gotras. The same gotra system also prevents a male from marrying his bhathiji wheareas one can marry his bhanji as she would be obviously from a different gotra. Hope i could make it clear to you !!
Actually there are some extention to this gotra system We cannot marry a person who has same gotra as my father + gotra which my mother had before marriage. I hope this makes the confusion clear....
I live in lahore , Pakistan I had been Victim of cousin marriage once My Parents wanted to marry me with my Maternal aunt's son And My aunt also wanted that But thankfully my cousin don't want to marry me , Becouse he is educated , I grown up calling Him brother , How can I marry him . And I ended up marrying with my Childhood classmate. My mother thinks that we have Royal blood and we can't Intermix aur blood with other low level blood , and sadly many pakistani believe in this stupid logic.
uhhhh.. there's only a 4% higher chance of disease and abnormalities in first-cousin marriage. The problem is endogamy of first-cousin marriage (continuous, over-and-over again), which creates more recessive genes.
I have same issue my mother and father are also related now I am forced to marry my cousin it will definitely be a problem right? Because my mother had many miscarriages my brother has some issues Luckily I don't have any issue but I am scared
I'm glad that it's declining because most of the times the children of these first cousin couples are born with either mental issues or physical issues. I'm a South Indian who is living in Raipur, Chhattisgarh and I have personally seen a case of one of my family friend who actually married his first cousin and their son was born with severe kidney issues, unfortunately the little guy died within 6 months.

Term "inbreeding depression" is often used for the reduced biological and reproductive health of a person who is born of cousin marriage. It is very important to marry out of family as it's necessary for gene variation(evolution).
Yes thats what most people don't understand. I've seen fools telling me how a person was born out of cousin marriage and doesn't have any disease. Well duh! That's because he's probably a 1st generation child. There won't be any inbreeding problems in the 1st to 3rd generations but inbreeding depression will keep accumulating until it actually shows up as a genetic disease in the 4th or 5th generation. That's why we Bengalis compared atleast 3 generations of gotra and at max 5. Some Hindi belt people compare upto 8 generations but that is a little too excessive in my opinion. Upto 4-5 generations is the optimum amount. Neither too much nor too less. For example my own parents compared their gotras of upto 4 generations only. Not beyond that. I'm of the same opinion as them and if I ever were to get married I would compare 4 generations of gotra too. I myself am of Shandilya gotra
You have given examples and history of this topic based on Kerala and it's premises. But as per the statistics, Kerala has the less no of such marriages compared to other states. In Kerala It used to happen in the past. But it's very very rare nowadays in Kerala.
This guy has basically ignored the fact that Kerala's consanguineous marriage percentage is very low and is infact lesser than many northern states and has then based off all his examples from Kerala.

My parents are also cousins, though not direct but they are not that far away from each other in our family tree.
@@bibinthomas5282 you might not have seen it but it surely exists, in hindu religion male cousins are called muracherukkan of their female cousins, which means groom.

Despite the moral issues, marrying your cousin isn't fun at all since you're missing the chance to connect with an entirely different family line which is kinda adventurous and diverse and morally correct obviously.
I think it would have been better if you take the example of other south Indian states instead of Kerala where the percentage is very low or equal to many North Indian states. Nowadays even many malayalam movie are also against this...
As a north indian from Bihar, yes! We have Gotra system . Even people who were moved to Mauritius, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname and Java by Britishers. They used their first name in next generation surname so cousin marriage can prevent.

In South India the cousin you can marry has to be between bua and mama 's kids.
However, the numbers have greatly reduced due to biological defects such marriages can cause.
And in maharashtra it's common to marry bua's son 🍂
Arjuna's mom Kunti was the adopted daughter of King Kuntibhoj. So Kunti never shared a blood relation with vasudev.
@@utsavjha7673 Kunti was the daughter of Shurasena who was the cousin of Kuntibhoj (her adopted father) , so there is blood relation.
This is also common in gujrat in ahir community yadav of gujrat can marry to bua or mama son or daughter . But not with cousins like father brother son or daughter or mother sister son or daughter. They have been called brother and sister but mama and bua son or daughter not called brother or sister the marriage can be done if family and girl and boy are ok
South people also only marry in father's sister son or mother brother son not marry mom sister son or daughter and father brother son or daughter and it's most common 80s and 90s people but now a days people not interested to marry in close relative like mom's brother son or daughter like that because one is genetic issue and another thing now a days children's are mold to dislike relative marriage .

I am from Karnataka and I can speak for almost all people who live in northern part of Karnataka. This practice used to be common till my parents' time but has reduced significantly these days. Main cause to stop the practice was that we as a society saw some health problems in children born out of such marriages. Not in all children but in few cases.
To clarify more on what's cross cousin is. They could may their Mama's or Atte/Buwa's kids. Marrying Kaka/Chikkappa/Chacha's or Chikkamma/chikki/mausi's kids was strictly prohibited, no one even thought about it. I have not seen a single such case in my entire life.
As of marrying ones niece: back in days people used to have lots of kids. So imagine a case where the eldest offspring was a girl and youngest offspring say 7th or 8th child was a boy. Now obviously there's a huge age difference between these 2 Sister and Brother. Now, it was very common that the girls used to get married in early ages. You can imagine this bride's youngest brother running around in her marriage in shorts with runny nose 😀 This sister used give birth to children very early. So now this Eldest sister's daughters and her youngest brothers were of same age and compatible for marriage from the age perspective.
As you married off your elder sister to a different man outside your family, her lineage became totally different. (her kids Gotra would be different than yours). Hence marriages were allowed. Nowadays these practices exists close to none.
So, why they can marry bua's kids but not masi's?

Technically not. In Hinduism you can marry your cousin ONLY IF your mother/father sibling is the opposite gender.
Example:
You can marry your cousin because it's your Dad's sister son.
And this is usually the case. I'm not talking all. But as someone who was born in Andhra Pradesh,this is the case for most i can say
I'm a child born from a Consanguine marriage. My family in Kerala actually don't appreciate such a marriage, but in my case, parents fell in love with each other. I never knew much about the negative aspects of Consanguine marriages, so few years back I had fallen in love with my cousin as well, and we were in a relationship for almost a year. That is when I learnt about this and shared the information with her as well. I realised how lucky I was to be born without any abnormalities, and we mutually got out of the relationship.
We were in love when we broke up. But we did it, only to avoid the risk of spoiling a child's life and also for a happier future.
More people in South India should be educated about the problems of Consanguine marriages.
There is always a option of adopting a child... That way one can spend the rest of the life with their loved ones. There is a saying, "Love knows no bounds.".
How many fingers do you have?

Risk of birth defects in consanguineous marriages is overrated. Risk is even lesser in communities that have practiced consanguinity for thousands of years and have inherited stronger genes over the years, not weaker genes. Don't take my word for it. Look up research. Not the one done on people from typically non consanguineous society, but are born out of consanguineous relationship. Look for research done on rate of birth defects in consanguineous society and you will know

I belong to a tribe in Assam. In my tribe, there are lots of restrictions regarding marriage. You cannot marry if both the bride and spouse have same title( even though they are not related in any sort), and many more complicated rules, cousins are treated as brothers and sisters. It's incredible that our ancestors have adopted those rules to prevent biological disorders of the offerings from the ancient times when there were no education system at all. Because of this practice we hardly see any physical abnormalties in our tribe.

This concept of 'cousin marriages' have always irked me growing up. And it also made talking with cousins a wierd/stereotypical one as against talking with siblings from father's brothers/mother's sisters. You always have a sense that you can't mingle with your cousins freely. Because if you do, society will think that you are interested with them. Even parents think so. Being from South India, I like the North Indian perspective of these marriages and I want to consider my cousin as a sibling and want to mingle with them freely during family unions.
yeah you definitely have a point, if you are too free then you are at risk ;)
Never really bothered me or my cousins tho (mothers brothers daughter)
Depends bro if the relationship is mutual then its fine even temples allow it

We muslims dont share this concept of forbidden cousin marriage. For we muslims it is a myth... Talking about the zar Dynasty with blood cancer doesn't make any sense to universilze it.

I know some people are trying to give scientific attire to the grand mythology but believe me the sampling techniques are too much problematic.
what if the person you are marring has another disease and what if the genes are dominat so rather than one the child born will be
In Pakistan and saudi more then 60% marraiges are cousins marraiges..please check the fact
I'm from Andhra Pradesh and I've personally experienced this issue. My paternal aunt considered me as a 'perfect bride' for her son and even my cousin was perfectly fine with the idea of marrying me (I'm seven years younger than him). They even proposed the match to my father. I was horrified because I always called my cousin 'elder brother' and to learn that he did have a romantic interest in me, when all while I considered him a sibling, sickened me to the core. My father rejected it without second thoughts as he was against cousin marriages having learnt in his late twenties about 'incest' and the resulting genetic problems in the later generations. Yay to father!
My aunt was upset when my father rejected her and she even had the gall to say to my father "If you marry her into our household we'll take care of her. Since I'm her aunt, you can rest the fear that she might suffer under her in-laws. Also, the dowry will remain in our family without going to nameless outsiders." My father simply said "Bold of you to assume that I'll be offering any form of dowry," and the argument quickly escalated and the relations naturally strained after that. Even today my father and aunt barely spare a polite greeting at family gatherings. And me being awkward, I just turn opposite whenever I spot my aunt or cousin.
I was the lucky case but my classmate from University was married to her cousin right after graduation. Cousin marriages are a common occurance in South India and regarded as normal and 'part of the tradition.' I'm glad that this issue is being spoken of.
Edit: Incest is a common issue across religions and the people who practice this 'tradition' aren't even aware that cousin marriages come under incest. You see not all cousins can marry. I'm a Hindu and I can marry my paternal aunt's son and also marry my maternal uncle's son--these fellas are not technically adressed as brothers, they have a separate form of address so as to prevent any awkwardness later on if I marry them ( though my dad instructed me to call them as brothers from early age)but I cannot marry my maternal aunt's son or my paternal uncles's son(they are considered as brothers). I don't know if it's true but my mother said that the opposite applies for muslims. So, it's like everyone have their own rules for acceptable incest.
My girlfriend is telegu and when she first told me about this I was like "yuck". I won't lie but it took me some time to accept this as normal. Later she explained to me why this is practiced and finally i have normalized this to some extent. Even this video was suggested by her.
There was an uncle in my colony who was from Hyderabad he told me about this, at first I couldn’t believe him coz I thought this only happens in Muslim community. Glad that your father rejected the proposal. I think there should be some sort of campaign against such practices.
Your father seems like a smart dude
That is awfully awkward 🤣🤣
The thaught it self make me want to puke😖😵
Being a Jain in our culture we have something called "Saka" which means we are restricted to not marrying the ones who share the surname of both my mother's side and father's side family.

what nonsense is this. Gotra system is there in south India. Check your facts before spreading wrong information. No one in South marry in same gotra. Also for your kind information South India is far more culturally rich and educated than North. South Indians are still deep rooted to traditions compared to North.
In the comment section people are just talking nonsense, as if cousin marriages haven't happened in north India and is happened/happening only in South India. It dates back to Mahabharata time. Krishna and Arjuna were first cousins. Arjuna married Subhadra, younger sister of Krishna and Balarama. Not just this, if you will look in to Hinduism in deep you will find many such, like Arjuna's son marrying Balarama's daughter and so on.
Although I don't support cousin marriages, its a fact that it existed throughout India. So stop this bullshit of North India and South India difference. Its just some ancient traditions are still followed in South India.
For people who are commenting that South Indians are uneducated or uncivilized, I have only one thing to say- you guys need to educate yourself a lot ( a lot in the sense a lot), need to come out of the 250 year old British mindset of calling others as uneducated or uncivilized. South India is far more culturally rich and educated part of India.(and the reason for this is thanks to North Indians who were fighting battles for 800-1000 years against Mughals and other invaders from the North, these invaders destroyed a significant part of North Indian temples/ Hindu historical places/ ancient educational centers).
Lets educate yourself and putting aside of differentiating yourselves as South Indians or North Indians.
Such a great work in research and editing! 🔥
I am from Kolkata, when I was in class 7-8 my tuition teacher told my mother that her father and her late mother were cousin. We couldn't care less because we knew that in muslim community it is allowed to marry first cousin. However her younger sister whose age was around 17-18 years was deformed and had a brain of 2-3 year old child, she couldn't even walk instead she would slither, she couldn't alarm her sister whenever she wanted to defecate or urinate and she couldn't even speak. I felt sorry for her and always questioned why would god make her like this. But recently few years ago i realised that her condition could have been due to her parents' cousin marriage. I haven't communicated with my teacher since I cleared class 8 and its been more than 10 years. I hope her sister is surviving.
I feel sorry for her even reading this... Hope she is okay
Since most of these congenital diseases are attributed to recessive genes, its been estimated that chance of these disease manifesting in the offsprings rise up by at least 30% when marriages are done within family.
Never marry your cousin's , that's what our culture also says

I am from Tamilnadu. Yes marrying cousins and close relatives is common in South India. In olden days the idea was to keep the property within the family. That is why such marriages were conducted and accepted. Even though it was and is a disaster genetically. As of now it has come down to a great extent in urban areas but in the rural belt it still persists. The biological implications of it for the children born out of such marriages is grave. Education and repeated reinforcement is the only way the society will give up such a practise. Any social change takes years. There will be a lot of resistance too from the conservative elements.
In our West Bengal marrying cousin is not acceptable.
Uma, I don’t endorse these marriages but if this disease thing was correct then most of the South Indians would have some disease or the other as it has been happening for 2000 years.

You only call your cousins as Brother and sister in Indo-Aryan languages (North Indian), Dravidian languages follow a whole different kinship system where parallel cousins are referred to as brother and sister but cross cousins have special words. Also the our words of Cross-Aunt/Uncle are the same as the words for In-Laws, for example both your mother's brother and your husband's/wife's father is called mama in Telugu. Same for words for your wife's/husband's siblings and your Cross-Cousins.
Coming to the weird feeling thing, it is weird to you cause you grew up calling your cousins the same word and your siblings and considered them your siblings, in the same way we are always reminded (from childhood) that our cross cousins can be our potential spouses and also our media also shows a lot of romantic stuff between Cross-Cousins so it's kinda normal for us. If you go ask a Telugu or a Tamil person what they think on marrying their parallel cousins, they'd act the same way you are acting, disgusted even by the thought of it, as we grew up with a feeling that they are our siblings and using the same words we use for our own siblings with them, infact even parallel aunt and uncles are referred with the same word as our parents but with a prefix like big and small, for example parallel uncle who is elder than your father is called pedda-nanna/bapu (big-father) and parallel uncle who is younger than your father is called chinna-nanna/bapu,Babai (small-father)

I have always felt Maharashtrians are closer to South than North except the language.
Actually Maharshtra Called as South in history, they considered themselves as dakshinpanthi there are many references to it. Maharashtra and South states were under one rule for thousands of years unlike North. that's why we share some festivals like gudi padwa and many with south Indians. Our language does not associated with Hindi unlike other languages in North Indian which directly are dialect of Hindi or associated with Hindi. We just belong to Indo Aryan category language and nothing else. Just as same shrilankas language Sinhalese is also comes under indo Aryan language

I remember watching a Marathi TV show called 'Home Minister' as a kid. In the show, the host travels across Maharashtra and talks to married couples about their love story and all. Many times the the couple were first cousins, as in the husband was the wife's atte bhau (Bua ka beta in marathi). They also talked about how they liked each other since their teenage, basically they romanticized cousin marriages a lot. I found it really weird.
Also, in Marathi serials I've seen some married women calling their mother-in-law as aatya (bua). Maybe I'm watching too much of Zee Marathi with my aaji.
Most of those backstories are fake and are spiced up for TRP.

One day I asked my father that why we have to tell the priest in the temple about our GOTRA everytime we visit? He said GOTRA is said to be a common relation from a common ancestor and two same GOTRAS should not marry amongst each other as there can be problems among their child. I half heartedly believed that becoz on one side I understood that same blood can cause some problems but was not sure what was the probability of that. Good !
Bro 'Consanguineous' word is pretty fancy......In context of animal husbandry closely related animals are not mated because it might lead to inbreeding depression.....

I am from AP, we do have & follow gotra system as well. Marriage between parllel cousins or first cousins is NO here mostly. Don't know about rest of South India. Marriage between uncle and niece used to happen few years ago, but it has gone down a lot, i mean so much down ( some exception cases if age gap between bride & groom is low ,5 - 7 yrs max ). Marriages between second cousins & cross cousins is still happening. People now a days are exposed & having a lot of awareness, hopefully it dies down.
Correct...people are more matured and aware now
I agree. Mohak's topic is good but there are some mistaken conclusions due to poor or insufficient research. Mohak needs to study the more in depth statistics to understand this intricate topic. I wish to give some points:
(1) Consanguine marriages are not modern in India, it has dwapara yug examples also. Most recently evidence was found that all India is one gene, north/south or aryan/dravidian divide is politically motivated from British era to divide and rule.
(2) Gotras concept is very much there in southern states also; hence to conclude anything through the difference of numbers between northern states and southern states (I doubt whether those numbers are correct!) is superficial. You could of course say that 50% is sa-gotra in first cousin marriage and it reduces to the second and tertiary levels. However, to prove that people of northern states have been conscious to avoid sa-gotra marriage, there is a need to delve into the statistics of second cousin and second uncle/niece marriages.
Its a tradition but not followed. It is still a tradition
Marrying cousin is common in Kerala. Marrying uncle is a sin. We can't even think that. In our old culture uncle take care of us like a father.
No I don't know from which region you are all it's still this type of marriages are continuing in andhra
Hello brother these things are common in our South India. We are all fit and fine, don't worry about us. This is our culture.The think is you don't understand our relationship.

we have gotras in tamilnadu too. we cant marry our father side cousins because of same gotra, but mother side isok, since they belong to another gotra. research before making sweeping generalisations.
What does gotra mean?
@@fraddi Its like a family name that tells your paternal ancestry, which you inherit from your father. And if you are a woman and marry, you later inherit the gotra of your husband and let go your paternal gotra.

Bro, South india is being used as a scapegoat for justifying Cousin marraiges of Islam.
While in reality since the spread of Christianity was more in south India hence people redefined the Gotra system so as to suit their purpose.
From kashmir to kanyakumari, India runs on Gotra system.
What Some of the southerners are doing is a result of the misinterpretation of Gotra system.
Edit 1:- Gotra system is so deeprooted in the Indian society that most of the Tribes have Gotra system too.
This is enough to prove the importance of Gotra system while finding the right match in Indian subcontinent.

Term "inbreeding depression" is often used for the reduced biological and reproductive health of a person who is born of cousin marriage. It is very important to marry out of family as it's necessary for gene variation(evolution).
Yes I studied about in class 12th biology!
Yes thats what most people don't understand. I've seen fools telling me how a person was born out of cousin marriage and doesn't have any disease. Well duh! That's because he's probably a 1st generation child. There won't be any inbreeding problems in the 1st to 3rd generations but inbreeding depression will keep accumulating until it actually shows up as a genetic disease in the 4th or 5th generation. That's why we Bengalis compared atleast 3 generations of gotra and at max 5. Some Hindi belt people compare upto 8 generations but that is a little too excessive in my opinion. Upto 4-5 generations is the optimum amount. Neither too much nor too less. For example my own parents compared their gotras of upto 4 generations only. Not beyond that. I'm of the same opinion as them and if I ever were to get married I would compare 4 generations of gotra too. I myself am of Shandilya gotra
