[Ombligo]

15 states allow first cousins to marry. 12 of them are not in the South .

This has nothing to do specifically with Tennessee, it's about getting rid of outdated family law. Others need to clean house too.

IIRC, nothing wrong with marrying your first cousin, genetically speaking.

and that's how Shelbyville got founded, after all...because he found his cousins "darned attractive."
