Actually I was reading that in many states it is perfectly legal to marry your first cousin.
And that The dangers supposedly associated with it are basically just old wives tales.

So marrying cousins is not incest in that case. But very unusual. As far as dumbing down the gene line...would not apply in such a case. It wouldn't be incest, but would be marrying your first cousin.

It would be legal. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Try not to judge so quickly about complex matters. It probably happens up north too.
