No - in fact, it's not illegal to marry your third cousin anywhere. There is enough genetic distance between you and she or he that the old prohibition against marrying anyone close than cousins does not apply. And there is some evidence that even that concern is groundless, now that we know a bit more about genetics than we did in 1850 or so..
