'Islam permits marriage between first cousins. (Judaism and Christianity do not.)'

Funny. California allows 1st cousin marriage as do many other states.

Are you, for some reason, thinking that California is Christian?

I think it’s second cousins...

Close to half the states allow first cousin marriage.

I’m curious where you get the notion that first cousin marriage is prohibited by Christianity. I don’t think that’s the case.

Not sure about Talmudic Judaism. The Law certainly does not prohibit marriage of first cousins. In fact, quite a few first cousins got married in the Bible. Jacob’s wives, for example.

And yet it prohibits 'relations' between consenting adult adopted (non-genetic) siblings.
