Actually marrying your first cousin is illegal in the states, due to blood relative. If two people are from different bloodlines then by all mean they have the right to be married. If two children are from different marriages then they can actually be married.

Marriages Between First Cousins
Twenty-five states prohibit marriages between first cousins. Six states allow first cousin marriage under certain circumstances, and North Carolina allows first cousin marriage but prohibits double-cousin marriage. First cousin marriage is allowed in these states under the following circumstances: Arizona- if both are 65 or older, or one is unable to reproduce. Illinois- if both are 50 or older, or one is unable to reproduce. Indiana- if both are at least 65. Maine- if couple obtains a physician's certificate of genetic counseling. Utah- if both are 65 or older, or if both are 55 or older and one is unable to reproduce. Wisconsin- if the woman is 55 or older, or one is unable to reproduce. * North Carolina- First cousin marriage is legal. Double cousin marriage is prohibited. http://www.ncsl.org/research/human-s...rst-cousi.aspx

It is legal in California; actually 25 states prohibit, 20 states (including D.C.) allow first cousins, and I think North Carolina does not allow a "double cousin", whatever that means. There are also a few that only allow under certain circumstances.
