Most of the Christian faiths do not allow sexual relationships with a first cousin, usually on moral grounds, but also for medical reasons, because sharing the same blood is believed to cause an increased risk of birth defects in children.

∙ 14y agoIt is not that it is WRONG to marry first cousin it is genetically unsound. First cousins who marry and have kids will discover their children are suffering from congenital anomalies and conditions. There are few first cousin couples, sibling couples or parent/child who have sexual relations that DO NOT have messed up kids. In the United States it is ILLEGAL to marry a first cousin, sibling or biological parent due to the medical complications for offspring. It only took many centuries to stop that practice. Unfortunately it happens in some communes and they have messed up kids. So it is not wrong it is UNSOUND for first cousins to marry.

∙ 11y agoIf you mean just 'being with' someone, there's nothing wrong with that.
But if you are referring to sexual contact - - then according to The Bible - - Yes, it is a sin.
Also if it is against the law of the country, then to disobey the country's law, is another sin.
shia************
just "being with" is Halal but having sexual relation (witout being marriad) is Haram.
