Just saw this, Richard Holden has introduced legislation to ban 1st cousin marriage:

I think it is about time but wondering if the proposed legislation is likely to be supported or not.

Wasn't there an AMA recently by someone in a relationship with their cousin?

I read the other thread but didn't know there was proposed legislation. I think this is a good move but could be an issue for some communities.

"Two Tier" Starmer will ensure it doesn't apply to "those" communities but will apply to everyone else. Or at least it won't be enforced in those communities!

I thought it was already illegal 🤷‍♀️

Thank you! I did a search before posting but only came up with old threads. I will head over to read it. Much appreciated.
