First cousin marriage is allowed in these states under the following circumstances:

Arizona- if both are 65 or older, or one is unable to reproduce.

Illinois- if both are 50 or older, or one is unable to reproduce.

Indiana- if both are at least 65.

Maine- if couple obtains a physician's certificate of genetic counseling.

Utah- if both are 65 or older, or if both are 55 or older and one is unable to reproduce.

Wisconsin- if the woman is 55 or older, or one is unable to reproduce.

*NC does not allow "Double cousin marriage," but doesn't care about single first cousin marriage.

1st cousin marriage is encouraged in some cultures.
Speaking of....MD is working on banning 1st cousin marriages.
