New Jersey allows marriage of first cousins [0].

Allows this? Or recognizes it as marriage? (I'm assuming that it's closer than first cousins.)

Allows this, though it seems that they did so through some kind of legislative error 15 years ago. (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2015/01/incest_is_totally_o...)
