NY is one of the few states where it is legal to marry your first cousin. Brother-Sister love is another thing.

20 states.. pretty far from being a "few"

(with 7 other states allowing it in special circumstances, usually as long as one of them is medically unable to reproduce)

Which means it is actually prohibited in 23 states.. not even a majority!
