Is it illegal to marry family members?
Most locations place restrictions on how closely two individuals may be and still legally marry. You'd need to specify a location in order for us to give more precise information, but it's illegal to marry at least some family members almost everywhere, and likewise legal to marry at least some (distant) family members almost everywhere. In the US, the single biggest distinction between locations is probably whether or not it's legal to marry your first cousin. In nearly all places, it's illegal to marry anyone more closely related to you than that, and in nearly all places, it's legal to marry anyone more distantly related to you than that.
