Family life is busy for Israr Hussain and his wife, Tasleem Akhtar, who have four daughters between the ages of five and 15.
They chose to have their wedding back home in Pakistan in 2007 and live in Birmingham.

Marrying a first cousin is a feature of many communities across the world. It is about protecting wealth, land and property and helps keep the family together.
