Qataris are Literally Retarded: Almost Half (43.8%) Marry Their Close Relatives!

“Marriages between close relatives is increasing. While the number accounted for 11.7% of marriages in 1996, it reached 40% and 43.8% in 2000 and 2007 respectively.”

Earlier, a study, conducted by the Supreme Council for Family Affairs (SCFA), had said that some 60% of those with disabilities were found to be born to “closely-related parents” in Qatar.

It urged for the enforcement of the pre-marital medical test law, saying that 34.5% of disabled people were born to parents of first-degree relatives, while 25.2% were to parents of second-degree relatives.

The study also noted that number of nuclear families in Qatar has significantly increased at the expense of the extended ones.

“While the number nuclear families increased from 74% in 1976 to 82% in 2004, that of the extended families declined to 18% in 2007,” the study said.

Doha Airport

This has to be the crappiest airport anywhere, arriving you are subjected to being pushed and shoved in arrival hall while trying to queue for immigration where once you get there you are "greeted' by the most rude and sour faced women you ever would not wish to meet. Leaving Doha is a nighmare at busy times, filthy, noisy and buses to the planes, so third world, esp for a country which is supposedly one of the richest in the world, what the hell are they doing with the money! At the airport last week there was a serious situation of overcrowding in the check in hall which was completely uncontrolled. People were hurt in the huge crush and airport authorites did nothing but stand by po faced as if we all are not human and dont deserve to live. DOHA = Devoid Of Human Attributes

Airport

In case you didn't notice, there is a new airport being constructed to the East of the old one. I would assume that is what they're spending their money on.

Just wanted to clarify that, this is pure culture and not religion. The prophet of Islam "Muhammad" peace be upon him and the rest of the prophets said "distant in marriage so that your descendent become healthy".

While I do agree with a lot of what you say, but I would like to ask you to keep the language a bit on the descent side please. So if you can avoid the "f" word etc. it will be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Former Qatari Expat

This is sooo true. I knew a couple of companies, one being Venture Gulf, where the owner was married to his real sister, could not read, was ignorant and also being driven in a Mercedes, while his employees were treated with no respect or humanity!

how can you call it culture?

how can you call it culture? I do agree with "polite word for polite situation" but when the healt of a child is compromised by this "beaviour" I'd rather call it TOTAL IGNORANCE
