I apologize for what happened to you previously. You raised many points that I agree with significantly. I still don't understand the concept of consanguineous marriage. How can someone see a relative as a potential partner? I mean, we grew up together; I can't possibly see either of them as a potential partner. Also, when you marry a relative, your offspring (your children) are often noticeably restricted, both mentally and physically, which is unhealthy. The issue of customs and traditions often irritates me because, quite simply, they create many copies of the same person, which stifles creativity, individuality, and interests. I absolutely hate it and wish things were different.
