"Cousin" describes a family relationship in which two people are descended from the same ancestor, other than from a parent. There is no precise "opposite" to Cousin the way "night" is the opposite of "day", but many people have used "cousin" indescriminately to describe anyone who is not a parent, grandparent, child, or sibling, but who is related to them. In that general sense, then, the opposite of "cousin" would be "unrelated." There really is no opposite word; the opposite of a paternal cousin is a maternal cousin.
