Marrying one's cousin is acceptable in some societies, and was once acceptable within the US many, many years ago. Assuming the cousins are fairly distantly related, any children produced from the marriage have every chance of being completely healthy. However, if the cousins are first cousins, there may be a chance of birth defects.
