Statistics on the prevalence of marriages between close relatives today are
scarce. Once common practice in Western societies, estimates suggest the
Middle East, along with Africa, continue to have the highest levels in the
world. In Egypt, around 40% of the population marry a cousin; the last
survey in Jordan, admittedly way back in 1992, found that 32% were married
to a first cousin; a further 17.3% were married to more distant relatives.
Rates are thought to be even higher in tribal countries such as Iraq and the
Gulf states of Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Kuwait.
