The Riksdag voted in favour of the Government’s proposal to ban marriage between cousins and marriage where one partner is a direct descendant of the other’s siblings.
It starts to get morally really complicated: If offspring with gene mutations is the reason for this ban:
What about gay marriages?
What about people where one partner is infertile?
There are people around who are known to have gene defects that will affect their offspring. Should they be banned from marriage? Banned from having children? How to enforce such a ban? That really will end with forced sterilization
If something else is the reason, like “I don’t like it” or “there are many forced marriages” or “I don’t like Arabs”, that’s another thing. If you want to go against forced marriages, that ban won’t work. If you just don’t like arabs, that totally is your issue
