Juxtaposing contributions from geneticists and anthropologists,
this volume provides a contemporary overview of cousin marriage and
what is happening at the interface of public policy, the management
of genetic risk and changing cultural practices in the Middle East
and in multi-ethnic Europe. It offers a cross-cultural exploration
of practices of cousin marriage in the light of new genetic
understanding of consanguineous marriage and its possible health
risks. Overall, the volume presents a reflective, interdisciplinary
analysis of the social and ethical issues raised by both the
discourse of risk in cousin marriage, as well as existing and
potential interventions to promote "healthy consanguinity" via new
genetic technologies.
