Many of these are because of genetic illness caused by intermarriage of cousins which is a custom in these communities.
It also does not have a good track record re child abuse .Gangs of men groom and abuse underage girls .

Bradford is ranked the worst place to live in the U.K.

Intermarriage of (first) cousins? There's more than a few sibling marriages.

But why? I mean, why is that necessary? Its illegal in this country, and surely they can marry someone from another family for goodness sake!
And its weird this post came back up because I was looking for when the auction started so I can see what the eventual price is. Going to have to wait until Tuesday.

It’s not illegal to marry your first cousin just unwise .
In Pakistani families people still have arranged marriages .
The parents are more likely to choose a first cousin for their child as they may know them and it also keeps wealth in the family .

Ohh, I didn't even know that about first cousins Muddy. I just thought the bloodline was too close and would create disabilities, hence it was illegal. Crikey, siblings though! ugh. I'm sorry but that is just disgusting.

It's illegal in any civilised group and also in Islam BUT such partnerships to take place.

UPDATE - This house sold for £60,000. Pretty typical for houses in that area, but still cheap. Whoever bought it will need to spend that amount over again just doing it up!
