The Problem with the 'Cousin Marriage Is Not Weird' Argument
A YouTuber, Keerthika Govindhasamy, also known as Keerthi History, has sparked controversy with her recent video.
She attempts to normalize marrying one's first cousin or uncle, as long as traditional rules are followed, and claims that south Indian family structures rely on cousin marriages.
Keerthika draws subtle religious references bordering on Islamophobia.
Keerthika, a history graduate from Tamil Nadu, has gained a large following with tens of thousands of views on her videos, despite facing criticism and controversy.
Her popularity increased in 2024 when she won the Best Storyteller Award from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to it as an award from the 'World's most powerful leader'.
