$ZEC #UKHealthConcern
A growing health concern in the UK has drawn attention to the cultural practice of cousin marriages within the British Pakistani community. Reports reveal that while the group makes up just 3–4% of UK births, they account for nearly 33% of genetic birth defects. Experts attribute the rise to first-cousin unions, which double the risk of recessive genetic disorders in children. The issue, rooted in tradition, has prompted calls for genetic awareness, not cultural targeting. The findings highlight the urgent need for education, screening, and community dialogue to reduce long-term health risks.#BinanceTurns8
