Consanguineous Marriage: Constitutional?
Number of pages:
3
ABSTRACT:
3 pages in length. Consanguineous marriages are most prevalent in global communities still untouched by such culturally revolutionizing events as industrialization and technological advancement, however, they still exist in many of today's more civilized societies. To marry and produce children with a close relative has long been an accepted approach for the perpetuation of the family, an aspect typically encouraged by religious doctrine. However, while this type of marital union may have an extensive presence in terms of historical validity, it cannot be considered constitutional from a number of different angles, not the least of which includes the notion of inbreeding, morbidity and mortality. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
