Thanks for putting up query in healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief answer: Not necessarily to be with defects.. But risks are relatively more than non consanguineous marriage.
Detailed answer:If I was your family physician,would have warned you about the possible risks for future generation,to inherit rarely genetic mutations causing congenital defect,inborn metabolic error syndromes etc,when marrying with a person of common ancestoral origin.Be positive ,as the chances of getting a perfectly healthy baby is nearly equal that of others.Hope i have answered your query.Take care and all the best.
