Focus on the Family endorses cousin marriage

On March 23, 2009, Dr. Helen had a post on her blog about how teenage boys are punished much more harshly for consensual sex than are teenage girls.

Rob Fedders responded on the 25th and said:

Basically, they are saying they are “merged into one” and one cannot sue oneself. They are upholding the Biblical view of marriage, aren’t they? Again, marriage is intended to be a religious institution, not a government one. (You used to only, and in fact still can, get married on a family Bible, and it holds up without the State license, apparently – or so I’ve read.

While doing a Google search for - married on a family Bible - to see if his statement was true, I found an advice column from Focus on the Family.  I couldn't find the date of the article, but it points out that the Bible allows for cousin marriage.  That search brought up several other links about cousins and it makes me wonder if there are a lot of people wondering if the Bible permits cousin marriage.
