Meanwhile, actual cousin marriage is still legal there?

And, until very recently, seemingly encouraged by the NHS?

> A blog published on 22 September by NHS England’s Genomics Education Programme said that marriage between first cousins had “various potential benefits,” while acknowledging that children of first cousins had an increased chance of being born with a genetic condition.

First cousin marriage is legal almost everywhere... in Canada, one can marry their niece or nephew.

		You probably can. You just can't note their relation. I'd imagine 99.999% of "step-whatever" porn is not actual step-whatevers.

		Hmm, being from the western US, I wasn't even aware that this is an Islam-adjacent topic in the UK. I was thinking of inbred UK royalty jokes. (And, to some extent, our own Appalachia inbreeding stereotypes which overlap with UK-derived sub-populations.)
