The laws of England and of most western countries forbid incest, that is, sex within the family. So one may not have sex with one's child, parent or sibling. Furthermore, the "prohibited degrees of consanguinity & affinity" prohibit marriage between a wider group than the "incest group".
It is lawful, (and in some communities,particularly some Jews and Muslims, common), for first cousins to marry. This has the benefit of keeping family ties and assets intact; and exploits a sound gene pool..... BUT. A big but! Marriage between close relatives raises the likelihood of the emergence of some vicious recessive genes.
For example, although the Pakistani population of the UK is only a few percent, because this group has so many first-couin marriages, around ONE-THIRTD of the UK's genetically damages babies are born to this group.
The answer is: marry out, and benefit from "Hybrid Vigour".
Learn from Charles Darwin: mongrels really ARE healthier than thoroughbreds!
