Don't blame me, I didn't make up this data. 
"Inbreeding refers to situations in which individuals who are closely related to one another (such as siblings or cousins) procreate and produce offspring. Inbreeding can occur among humans as well as animals. Inbreeding is uncommon in most developed countries, but contributes a statistically relevant portion of the total number of births in certain developing countries.
The practice of marriages between close relatives (typically cousins) is known as consanguineous marriage. Although rare in the Americas and modern Europe, consanguineous marriage is notably common in North Africa and the Middle East, where it is a traditional and respected aspect of many Arab and Muslim cultures. In many countries, consanguineous marriages and inbreeding are considered illegal. Sexual relations between consanguineous couples is typically referred to as incest in these regions."
