In this episode, we explore the intricate dynamics of cousin marriage in South Asian families. We delve into the reasons behind its prevalence, the concept of collective narcissism, and the reflection of family identity through such unions.

The discussion navigates the comfort and limitations of marrying within the family, the underlying pressures, and the distinction between closeness and genuine intimacy.

The episode concludes with a call to challenge tribalistic thinking and to advocate for love that is chosen freely rather than assigned by tradition.
