Is incest and 'arranged' marriages legal in the Netherlands? I know they have just outlawed bestiality and I would assume that forced (or 'arranged' marriages) would be illegal. Close incest is also illegal I would think, but not sure. I imagine that these Islamic immigrants are not 'marrying' their close relatives (hopefully!) but cousins and more distant relatives. I imagine this is legal though one could imagine after a few generations of this even cousins are closely related DNA-wise and this could result in more birth defects and, in the immigrant's case, more public funds being expended. But often these marriages are 'arranged' when the persons, usually the female, is still a minor. That must be illegal, correct? Just chalk it up to more of the public funds these immigrants take from good Dutch citizens I guess.
