depends on where you are. in most of the US its illegal unless the cousins are over the age of 65. in south africa (and most other british colonies) its legal to marry your cousin because you are both 2 degrees removed from the common ancestor. contact someone who is versed in the laws of the place where you stay

Depending on the distance between cousins. I know of a family who's sister's children (first cousins) married, pro-created, divorced. I also have a friend who is pregnant by her 'cousin' like 27 times removed or something. She's giving the baby up for adoption. (And ... it's legal obviously in Arkansas, too, as well as Kentucky etc. )
Why worry... where are you from??

Sure. Lots of internal family marriages are not allowed because their parents didn't get along and didn't like the idea. Best not to enter such a relationship or a situation, it only gets worse and you lose your parents' support too.

I am sure you can get married somewhere but it is NOT the right thing to do. Look at the long term effect the children might have from deformity

cousins are not allowed to marry as the gene pool will be affected. their children will most likely have some form of handicap

I don't have children ,but if I did I would not allow them to torture each other .If I was them abusing each other I would try to stop it . When I got into fights or arguments with my siblings some(not all) of the time ,my parents would step in . Sibling rivalry ,sibling torture or domestic violence among siblings is rarely "cute " .

this is not about me ok i want to clarify that. this is about one of my ex's birth dad who married his cousin, and i dont know if it was out of love, or that their family wanted them to but thier family condoned it. but the thing was that they are lebanese and their culture is completly different from ours, just want to make that clear also
