Kissin' Cousins

Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald married his cousin, Isabella Clark.

But is it legal to marry your cousin?

The surprising answer is yes![1]

Some religious institutions don't support cousins marrying cousins but civil marriages are legal in Canada. 

Note: Despite their obvious affection, cousins Terry and Vicky are not married to each other.

[1]The Marriage (Prohibited Degrees) Act, S.C. 1990 , c. 46 outlines the law regarding marriage between related persons.  Section 2 states that: persons related by consanguinity, affinity or adoption are not prohibited from marrying each other by reason only of their relationship, but no person shall marry another person if they are related lineally, or as brother or sister or half-brother or half-sister, including by adoption.  A marriage between persons who are related in this manner is void.
