21:28Now PlayingUzbekistan is set to ban cousin marriages in an effort to reduce birth defects, with official statistics showing that nearly 10% of babies born with disabilities in the country last year were from consanguineous unions. The proposed amendments to the Family Code aim to prevent marriages between first and second cousins. The issue has sparked debate among Uzbeks, with some defending the practice and others supporting the ban. Sabohatkhon Alimova, who married her first cousin, argues that such marriages offer "more trust and love among relatives," while Sirojiddin Toghaev, who was born with disabilities, supports the ban, stating, "Don't marry your relatives. Your children will suffer as a result, not you." Uzbekistan's move to ban cousin marriages is significant not only for its potential health impacts but also for its broader societal implications. This ban represents a clash between deeply rooted cultural traditions and modern public health concerns in a predominantly Muslim nation of 35 million people.
