Best Answer

In New Jersey, as in most states, it is legal to marry some relatives, but not others.

New Jersey marriage law (Title 37 New Jersey Permanent Statutes) forbids marriage with your children, parents, grandparents, grandshildren, siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Some states also forbid marriage with a first cousin, but New Jersey does not. First cousins, once removed, and more distant relatives, such as second cousins, can marry.
