They also looked at the link with so-called "honour" violence, according to Tonje Egedius, a journalist who covered the story for a Norwegian newspaper."[Police] claim that cousin marriage makes it easier for perpetrators to maintain honour in families," she says, "and that marrying within the family is a contributing cause of honour-related violence and abuse".

Jasmina Holten, a senior Norwegian police officer, said in an interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK last year that some women coerced into cousin marriage found themselves trapped, with financial dependence on relatives. In those cases, divorce often means ostracism. A ban on cousin marriage could break down that abusive chain, she said.Likewise, Sweden's justice secretary Gunnar Strömmer said his own country's ban on cousin marriage will liberate women from "oppressive standards of honour".This cultural argument is becoming increasingly prominent. Proponents of a ban broadly see cousin marriage as an instrument of segregation, siphoning people off from the rest of society. Nash, from the Pharos Foundation, says that a ban on cousin marriage would help reduce ethnic segregation in places like Bradford.

Others are sceptical of the idea that you can force people to integrate through the sharp stick of legislation. They say that even if a ban goes ahead, some couples would continue to marry their cousins through illegal, unregistered unions - and that women in those marriages may feel they no longer have the protection of the state if the relationship goes sour.Nazir Afzal, former Chief Crown Prosecutor for the North West of England, tells us that "thoughtful legislation" would "offer protections" to people coerced into cousin marriage. "[But] we must respect cultural diversity and personal choice," he says. "Cousin marriage is an important cultural practice in many parts of the world, and legislation should be sensitive to the social and familial values that underlie it."

More broadly, he suggests governments may want to think about boosting education and genetic screening for couples entering cousin marriage - rather than imposing "blanket bans".

For some, the idea of an outright ban raises the ugly image of certain minorities being targeted over others. Karma Nirvana, a charity that works to end honour-based abuse, described the backbench attempt to ban cousin marriage as "a tool of political point-scoring, inciting hate and driving a wedge between communities".The Prince of Wales joined the Welsh Guards at Salisbury Plain on Tuesday to oversee their preparations for operational duty.
