We would like to find out more about what the issue of cousin marriage means to people after calls for it to be banned in the UK. Former minister Richard Holden introduced the proposal in Parliament and said the practice should be banned due to children of first cousins being “at greater risk of birth defects”.
Do you think a ban is the best way to tackle the issue and have you had experiences that have shaped your opinion? Is cousin marriage something you have been personally affected by?
