Maybe there wasn’t another cousin available to marry the second girl. I understand families have these things planned as soon as the children survive infancy; it’s very important to have a sufficiency of cousins to match each one. If this boy took two, that could leave a single male floundering around the family tree!

Yeh they have to keep the gene pool small so nobody gets smart enough to figure out that Islam is a cult/scam.

I think it’s a cultural thing having to do with power and property, because the cousin-marriage happens with Middle Eastern and South Asian Christians, too ... with the same dire genetic results.
