English
This is English Wikipedia, terms like "cousin" and "paternal uncle" should be used throughout. AadaamS (talk) 05:09, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Azerbaijan
An acquaintance of my family, a woman oncologist from Baku, told me: "I saw too many children from such families". She told me that for tens of years all the azerbaijani regimes (Soviet and postsoviet) fought against this custom but not with a great success.--109.252.101.13 (talk) 07:56, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Why is there a "Non-Middle Eastern Muslim groups" section?
Why is this section included if the article is titled to be about the Middle East? If Pakistan and Afganistan are included, why not Bangladesh, Indonesia, and other Muslim countries? If they are all going to be included then it should be "Cousin marriage in Islamic societies", surely? Hyuhanon (talk) 18:12, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Ill written paragraph in first section without sources contradicts latter
The bit reading “The Qur'an 4:3 says prohibited to marry sisters without a prefix. And Arabic language cousins aren't mentioned separately, but a prefix to Sister. So it covers including all Sisters. Islam prohibits cousin marriage.” is not written in correct English, lacks references, and directly contradicts a later paragraph citing the same verses. I’ll remove the ill written one 83.252.32.138 (talk) 18:59, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

non-sentence in "Prevalence in modern times"
"Prevalence of marriages up to and including distance of second-degree cousin in the world according to The National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2012."

no verb or object, no actual number of prevalence; was this meant to go under an image instead? 216.165.95.178 (talk) 05:13, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
