Marriages between first cousins were quite common in the 1700s and 1800s. Sometimes it was to keep land and money in the family. Other times it was because they just didn’t know other potential mates.

California allowed marriege between 1st cousins in the 1980s. I don’t know whether the law has changed.
To: djf
How and why did states HAVE THE RIGHT to determine under what conditions marriage was allowable? If the Constitution does not give a power to the federal government, then it remains with the states and individuals.
... unless, of course, the Supreme Court decides otherwise, under some penumbra of the "commerce clause" or "equal protection".

All powers not prescribed in the constitution are reserved for the states. The federal government has expanded and expanded. It is time for states to reassert themselves and take back those powers not explicitly given to the feds.

"Now that we are on the verge of the Supreme Court declaring a constitutional right to homosexual marriage, other marriage restrictions such as this cousin ban, will eventually fall. All it takes is for pressure groups to force the issue through the courts."I agree with you.
The only reason they have for not having incestuous relationships is because of genetic deformities. Now that there is contraception and abortions that is no longer a road block.

The Emperor Claudius' fourth wife was his own niece--a lot of Romans seem to have considered that incestuous. (She was the mother of the future emperor Nero by a previous marriage.)
Spartan kings seem to have married their nieces sometimes--at least Leonidas, famous for his heroic death at Thermopylae in 480 B.C., married his brother's daughter.
2 Samuel 13.13 implies that Amnon could have married his half-sister Tamar, but that is contradicted by Lev. 18.11.

I had a second cousin I used to make out with in my mid teens. It was fun.

Take a look at the English royal family. The queen and her husband are third cousins. That explains why Prince Charlie is an idiot.

“...why not just marry your dog?...” Right now you are only allowed to marry the other kind of “bitch.” PETA would be offended if you were to marry your dog. PC groups protesting against incest don't exist, so.......

I’m not sure anyone knows when first cousins marry. I knew Muslims from India who were married and first cousins. Who is going to track down anyone’s genetics? I bet I could marry my first cousin of either gender and no one would bother to check if we were related.
