    The Cleft Lip and Palate problem
    is the highest in one gulf country.
    That country has a higher rate
    of marriages in between cousins.

    Is that conclusion applicable in
    India with 14 lakh children suffering from this problem?

    There must be an
    indepth study of this suject
    because 14 lakh children are
    suffering due to society's
    ignorance.
