The prohibition of consanguineous marriage is due to various considerations.
From a moral and ethical perspective, consanguineous marriage does not conform to social norms and may lead to confusion in family relationships and an increase in moral risks.
From a biological perspective, consanguineous marriage may increase the risk of genetic diseases.
(1) Due to the possibility of both parties carrying the same recessive disease genes, these genes are more likely to manifest in offspring, leading to an increased incidence of disease in children and even the possibility of congenital malformations or disabilities.
(2) According to statistical surveys of relevant data, the probability of children born from consanguineous marriages suffering from diseases is much higher than that of children born from non consanguineous marriages.
Therefore, prohibiting consanguineous marriage is not only beneficial for maintaining social ethical order, but also of great significance for improving the overall quality of humanity.

According to the Civil Code of our country, there are two main types of kinship relationships that are prohibited from marriage.
1. Direct blood relatives, such as parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents, children, grandchildren, etc.
Due to the close blood relationship between these relatives, marriage may lead to confusion in family ethics and an increase in genetic risk for offspring.
2. Collateral relatives within three generations, such as brothers and sisters, cousins sisters, cousins sisters, etc.
There is also a certain degree of blood relationship between these relatives, and marriage may also bring genetic risks and social ethical issues.
3. Based on ethical requirements, certain specific kinship relationships, such as foster parents and children, widowed mother-in-law and son-in-law, widowed father-in-law and daughter-in-law, are also prohibited from getting married.

The main reasons for prohibiting consanguineous marriage are based on the following:
1. Marriage between close relatives violates social order, good customs, and moral ethics, and is not accepted by society.
2. consanguineous marriage may increase the risk of genetic diseases and pose a potential threat to the health of children. According to relevant data, children born from consanguineous marriages have a much higher probability of developing diseases than those born from non consanguineous marriages.
3. Marriage between close relatives may also lead to chaos and instability in family relationships, which is not conducive to social harmony and development.
Therefore, the prohibition of consanguineous marriage is aimed at maintaining the health, family ethics, and social order of future generations.
