After the ban on marriages between relatives, the number of weddings in Azerbaijan fell by almost half." Since July 1st of this year, restrictions on incest have been introduced in the organized crime state. Marriages between first cousins ​​are officially banned. As it turns out, this ancient and beautiful custom was the foundation of the family institution in Azerbaijan. According to Yeniavaz and Turanpress, the number of marriages in the country has dropped significantly since the ban. According to their data, 2,694 marriages were registered in July 2025. This is almost half the number registered in June (when cousins ​​could still marry legally). By comparison, the number of marriages in the same period last year was also high. In July 2024, 4,587 marriages were registered in the country. According to Hijran Huseynova, Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Family, Women, and Children, this issue directly concerns the protection of the national gene pool, as marriages between close relatives often lead to mutations and physical and mental disabilities. Incidentally, a subscriber and a subscriber told us they left Azerbaijan for Russia to escape this custom; their relatives wanted to marry them to close relatives. They were strangers to each other." |
