Where isolated indigenous groups that traditionally practiced consanguinity are most concentrated, the practice is no longer preferred in present day; this has rapidly decreased the overall prevalence of cousin marriage in Mexico (VC - CODER COMMENT).

The main positive aspect of cousin marriage that participants mentioned was that one would marry someone with the same...more

This analysis collected data on the proportion of consanguineous marriages in 72 different geopolitical regions from www.consang.net in October 2010, referencing many of the same 381 surveys as Alan H. Bittles' report (1998) which included information for 6.55 million marriages. In cases when multiple estimates were provided for regions, they computed the mean percentage of consanguineous marriages by weighting individual estimates according to sample size. Table 1 of the appendix summarizes consanguineous marriage data. It shows that Mexico's weighted mean consanguineous percentage is 0.837% (KMM-CODER COMMENT).

For genetic reasons, the law prohibits marriage between blood relatives. This prohibition knows the parameters: the first of a radical prohibition is that of blood relatives in a straight line without limitation of degree. This eliminates incest problems. the other, within a zone of tolerance, is dispensable: marriage between blood relatives in the unequal collateral line (eg, between uncles and nephews). the sanction, therefore, is of different intensity. For genetic reasons, the law prohibits marriage between blood relatives.
