Can you have a healthy child after marrying your cousin?
Yes. The risks are overrated. Genetic defects create problems if the families have been intermarrying for many generations. One single generation of cousins marrying don't have a high risk of genetic defects. Many Muslim communities marry their first cousins. Because they have been doing so for many generations, they are at higher risks for genetic disorders. The Royal families of Europe have been intermarrying for generations. That creates risks. But a one off case of cousins marrying and having kids is not high on the risk charts. The social rules that frown on cousins marrying are to avoid genetic disorders if the trend went on for many generations. Not so for a single generation.

How serious will a child's birth defects be if their parents are second cousins?
There wont be any. There's many who think being cousins will make you have birth defects but this is not the case. The research show that the risk to get a child with birth defects if you are first cousins is just as small as if you were not related at all. So for second cousins there is no risk. The families where marrying cousins is common and the kids do have birth defects is families who have practiced cousin marriage for generations. Not enough new DNA.

Christianity, Judaism and Islam say nothing about the prohibition of first cousins marrying let alone second cousins.

In general it is better not to marry so close, you need to think about any children you may produce, is there is any genetic disorder hidden in your shared blood line this may express itself in your offspring.
