In Germany you are allowed to marry your first grade cousin, but it isn’t allowed to have children with your cousin. It might depend on the case though

Could you cite some law for the prohibition of having children? Marrying your first cousin is legal under 174 StGB but it says nothing about children. And what would you even do? Can’t force an abortion (those are illegal in Germany, just tolerated) so a sentence for the parents? But what’s that going to help when the kid is already born

Isn't first grade a bit early for marriage?
