Cousin marriages linked to high infant mortality in Birmingham

Original: Kusinäktenskap bakom extrem hög spädbarnsdödlighet i Birmingham. Liknande siffror från Norge bland pakistanier som gifte

A claim circulating in Swedish-language posts states that cousin marriage is behind extremely high infant mortality in Birmingham, England, citing similar figures from Norway, where infant mortality among Pakistanis who marry their cousins is said to be twelve times higher. The figures are being shared in debates over the health consequences of consanguineous marriage.

Why now: Debate over cousin marriage and its health effects is being amplified by claims linking it to infant mortality data in the UK and Norway.
