Most of the people I know who are of pakistani descent are hindu, but none of them afaik have married cousins. But then again they are from a relatively large hindu community (Leicester).

I've surprised to hear that. The reason for the partitioning of India in 1947 was to create separate Hindu and Islamic states with Pakistan being the Islamic state.
Today, Pakistan is still about 97% Muslim with the remaining 3% divided mostly between Christian and Hindus.

Edit:
Ok, should have been obvious, but Hindu Pakistanis are facing religious persecution and discrimination in the majority Muslim nation. No surprise they emigrate.
