Is it ok for first cousins to marry ?

The legal status is complicated; personally I can't see a reason why they should not marry.

Mongoloid prevention. I think we already have more than our share.

Now if one party is sterile (emphasized in the movie "Lone Star") it's not such an issue.

If it's done on the down low

Depends on if you want web footed kids.

I know someone with a webbed pair of toes on each foot. I know nothing about his parents.

No, it is illegal in all civilized countries for 'first cousins' to marry.

The closest biological relationship the law allows for marriage is for that of 'second cousins' and beyond.
@swirlie True. But the fact remains that 19 states allow first cousin marriage

No, only 2 States allow it under very defined conditions.

Not really. It might be legal in some places, but more genetic diversity is a good idea.
of course, family is supposed to be giving
Not on my continent…
The gene pools already murky
