It is legal to marry your first cousin, once removed in the UK. Cousin marriage has been legal since King Henry VIII decreed it so. However, there's currently talk from government officials about banning the practice.

It is legal to marry a first cousin in the UK if they are of the different gender to you and you are both at least 16 years old. Civil partnerships ('gay weddings') are also legal for cousins though in Northern Ireland males must both be 17 or older.
