1. Incest Is A Good Thing
The above photo is Warren Jeffs with one of his child brides. Many of his young brides also happened to be his cousins.
Incest has been believed throughout history in many cultures to be a good thing. Those who practice incest believe that it is an essential part of keeping the bloodline pure. The members of the FLDS, as well as The Kingston Clan, believe this to be true as well. If you know anything about incest, then you know that it can result in many health problems for both the mother and the baby. However, when a culture disputes science altogether, they’ll still stay true to their beliefs.
The families involved in the FLDS are huge. They could have upwards of 50 siblings at a time, which means they probably have at least 50 aunts and uncles too. This means that they’re bound to run into a cousin or second cousin that they didn’t even know they had at one point. So even if they aren’t forced into a relationship with their half-brother or sister, they still run the risk of falling in love with someone they might unknowingly share a bloodline with.
Another disturbing thing is that multiple sisters might end up marrying the same husband! And young little girls run the risk of being married off to their older uncles! On the show Escaping Polygamy one of the hosts was courted by her uncle who was in his 40s while she was only a teenager.
