For purposes of blood transfusion, cousins may or may not have compatible blood. For purposes of marriage and children, many cultures consider First Cousins to be too closely related and discourage marriages between them. However, some cultures find such unions to be acceptable. More distant cousins, Second, Third, etc., are less closely related and unions between them are acceptable to more cultures. It may be worth remembering that everyone is distantly related to everyone else, if you look far enough back into history for family connections. The only question is, how close it too close?

What is a blood relationship?

A "blood relationship" means people related through a bloodline. A woman and man marry but are not related before marriage nor do they come from the same bloodline. But, you and siblings born to your mom and dad are related by bloodline. Your mother's siblings (your aunts and uncles) are direct bloodline, and the same with your father's siblings. But you do not have a blood relationship to the spouses of your mom's or dad's siblings. If a cousin is related on your dad's side, your mom and your cousin are not related by blood, because your cousin is not your mom's relative. Same with a cousin on your mother's side; they are not related by blood to your father.
