Marrying your cousin is a good thing in this culture.
Marrying the wrong cousin is a death sentence. Imagine that?!?
This cultural export is now all over the world. It is one thing that Pakistan has successfully exported to most Western nations. How lovely.
With the honour/shame, tribal, control-women's-sexuality culture comes the other natural result, which is a surge in the births of severely disabled children. These disabilities are PREVENTABLE and not spontaneous, and are a direct result of consanguinity.

Mohammad Ajmal Choudhry, who faces life in prison if he’s convicted of
orchestrating the so-called “honor killings” half a world away."
From the NY Times:
"A Brooklyn woman said she was held captive for three years in Pakistan
by relatives who threatened to kill her if she did not marry a Pakistani
man. After the marriage, she escaped with the help of the American

away from her father, who had ordered the union, she said"
