Consanguinity, defined as marriage or reproduction between individuals
who share a common ancestor, is common in many cultures around the
world. In certain regions, consanguineous unions are deeply embedded in
social, religious, and cultural practices, and they may serve purposes such
as preserving family wealth, consolidating power, or maintaining lineage
continuity. However, consanguinity has important implications for reproductive
health, particularly when it comes to the genetic risks posed by inbreeding.
