🇬🇧NHS Investigated Over Cousin Marriage Guidance The NHS is under scrutiny after reports surfaced that midwives were taught about the 'potential benefits' of cousin marriage. Guidance materials reportedly downplayed health risks, citing 'economic benefits' and social connections. Critics highlight the increased risk of birth defects associated with consanguinity, particularly within some Pakistani communities. Authorities are reviewing the guidance and plan to remove any wording seen as normalising such practices. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel
