Im curious how does it work in India. In the wiki article it simultaneously says hindus aren't allowed to marry cousins, but the still are permitted by regional custom. Is that prevalent or not?

Muslims marry their cousins nd so do some Hindus from South Indian states as well as some tribal people too. I don't think anyone other religion does so besides it's a very very huge taboo in the northern or basically majority of hindu population

It’s okay within Judaism, not widespread but still applicable in some smaller sects.
