Consanguineous marriages are unions between individuals who are biologically related as second cousins or closer. In genetic terms, such marriages involve partners who share at least one common ancestor no more than three generations back. The degree of relatedness is often quantified using the coefficient of inbreeding (F), which measures the probability that an individual receives identical alleles from both parents due to common ancestry. Consanguinity is a common practice in many parts of the world and holds particular significance in human population genetics due to its implications for genetic diversity, health risks, and cultural practices. In India, consanguineous marriages have been a long-standing and culturally sanctioned tradition, particularly prevalent in specific regions and communities. They are more frequent in South India than in North India. These marriages are shaped by socio-economic, cultural, and religious norms and have significant biological implications on the population structure. ### Types of Consanguineous Marriages in India There are several types of consanguineous unions that are common in India, classified based on the relationship between the partners: 1.
