Some of our acquaintances are having apprehensions regarding marrying with near relatives. I am looking for some authentic medical document on this subject to remove the doubts.
European Journal of Human Genetics has a couple.
Teeuw, M. E., Loukili, G., Bartels, E. A., ten Kate, L. P., Cornel, M. C., & Henneman, L. (2014). Consanguineous marriage and reproductive risk: attitudes and understanding of ethnic groups practising consanguinity in Western society. European Journal of Human Genetics, 22(4), 452–457. http://doi.org/10.1038/ejhg.2013.167
This should get you started!

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has some material. For example, the article on by Consanguineous marriages
Preconception consultation in primary health care settings by Hanan Hamamy at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3419292/
also Consanguineous Marriage and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities among Arab Bedouins Children of the Negev Region in Southern Israel: A Pilot Study
