======================================================================

No substantial data need be given here. it is a well established 
scientific fact that inbreeding [consanguinous marriages] lead to 
weakening of the race. This is a well known scientific fact in 
medical and genetic sciences.

Reasons are that genetically determined  diseases tend to 
concentrate in marriages among close relatives. When parents are 
 from different genetic backgrounds, the offspring has a mixed 
gene pool, providing more variety and less chance of weak genes 
getting further concentrated.

For details, any medical, health or genetic book or web search 
would be useful.
