As far as I know all European countries allow cousin marriages and the christian religion doesn't seem to have anything against it either(after all Jesus's parents supposedly were 2nd cousins, and Abraham told his sons to marry their cousins IIRC therefore they can't really go against the Bible even if they wanted)...

Anyway I noticed this recently, but this "cousin relationship" thing seems to be quite common in animes, eg Kanon, Elfen Lied, Da Capo, Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai and some other ones as well...and I was wondering whether cousin relationships are common in Japan or something else...
