Why do people in some communities in South India marry their first cousins?

My answer elucidates south Indian Hindu perspective. Let me begin by clarifying the part about Gotra. South Indian Hindus do not marry in their Gotras at all. Even if the person is an Nth cousin. Same Gotra no marriage - strictly. Now coming to the cousin question. Cousins are divided into Brother/Sister category and the marriageable category:Children of one's father's brother and mother's sisters are considered brothers/sisters. No one would consider a marriage between parallel cousins - it is considered as incest. Children of one's father's sister and mother's brother are not considered brothers/sisters. So marriage is considered okay between such cross cousins.Despite the genetic disadvantage, There are a few social advantages of such an arrangement. Like:The girl would  get married and go to her mama's (uncle) or atha's (Aunt) house and hence will be treated well. This is observed by various social interest groups also. This is one reasons why women get more rights in typical south Indian families.The property will remain undivided because, families will marry off their daughter to the uncle's son and would get theirs son's married to the uncle's daughter. So neither of them will ask for a division of property. Even if property is divided, there will be no heart burn as after it is going only to the nephew and niece.The chemistry between the daughter-in-law and MIL/FIL could be better. It is no longer valid now a days.EDIT 1: It could have been the norm in the North in ancient times, but it is no longer followed now. This can be deduced from Mahabharata in which Arjuna gets married to Shubhadra - they are cross cousins.EDIT 2:Clarified 1st line: 'this is a view from a South Indian Hindu perspective'.

Bone and Anney nearly always have to face the shame of the "ILLEGITIMATE" stamp on Bone's birth certificate. Later, when the county courthouse burns down, Anney is at last able to get a copy of Bone's birth certificate without the shameful designation "ILLEGITIMATE" stamped on it. After her kind, hardworking first husband, the father of Bone's half-sister, is killed in an automobile accident, Anney remarries a man named Glen, who seems attentive until Anney's and Glen's baby dies at birth. Glen first sexually assaults Bone, while waiting in the car for the birth of his child. Frustrated by the loss of his eagerly-anticipated son, Anney's inability to have more children, and his own inability to manage his temper and maintain steady employment, Glen begins to physically and sexually abuse Bone regularly. Anney is saddened by her new husband's behavior towards her child, but does not leave him.

How many Senators,Governors , Congressmen have children doing active duty in Iraq?

In the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 Michael More closed it with thie question. He attempted to get members of Congress to send their children to serve in Iraq as a way of pointing out the class divide between the United States' leaders and the people who serve in the military. Moore did acknowledge that at the start of the war in Iraq, there appears to have been only one member of Congress with a child serving in Iraq: Sen. Tim Johnson (D-South Dakota), whose son Brooks serves in the Army.

Two more Congressmen had sons who reportedly were being sent to Iraq in late 2003 or early 2004: Representatives Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) and Duncan Hunter (R-California).

In addition, there are some other members of Congress and the Bush administration with children or relatives serving in the military if not necessarily in Iraq. For example, Representative Mark Kennedy (R-Minnesota), who was seen in Fahrenheit 9/11, reportedly has a nephew serving in Afghanistan, and one of his four children reportedly was thinking of joining the navy. Attorney General John Ashcroft's son Andrew also reportedly has served in the Navy in the Persian Gulf.
