Why Inbreeding is Still Popular in Middle East and South Asia?

[Pahli]

Inbreeding has happened in basically all cultures and races lol, the question is just how much; There also isn't any inbreeding in my family, neither maternal or paternal

[Petalpusher]

Inbreeding is bad with close cousins, but with 3rd and 4th cousins it is okay:

No inbreeding in Iceland? Sorry but this map is total bullshit.

Why Iceland would be inbred, while you apparently understand what's inbreeding? It's not discovering someone you ve just married is your distant cousin like it's sometimes the case there because of the low population, it is fucking your siblings, and to some extent first cousins. Nobody does that in Iceland.

I guess Albanians then have never been inbred because marrying siblings or first cousins never was part of Albanian culture or practiced and I don't know where you heard this. Marriage with people you are distantly related to but didnt know you are could of happened and did happen though.

Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Belgium.. wtf?

in Spain there has always been a low density of population, concentrated in cities, but with many villages semi isolated by orography, where marriage between cousins or some kind of family relationship was normal, but this more of necessity than culture. At present I do not think there are cases

In Turkey, inbreeding is most common in Eastern Kurdish majority places and villages where people don't want to share their farmlands with other people. Other parts of Turkey are okay.

this. Iceland was pretty much inbreeding paradise due to no outside contact for a long time

Because of the strict division of the sexes, you really only have exposure to your female relatives.

It's frowned upon here, though.

My family is very mixed from many cultures but i'm not against inbreeding, why would I be against it? neither my religion nor my culture forbids it, plus it preserve the bloodline.

I agree with you. But the word "inbreeding" is not a good word to use if you support this practice as it carries an entirely negative connotation.
