Yes, for many reasons. Firstly, it is widely considered immoral, as marrying your cousin would be incest. Secondly, if you were to have children, scientifically, they would be weaker and sub-par in comparison to other people of their age. This is because the fetus would consume similar hormones from both you and your cousin (for example), which would contradict healthy development and thus be harmful for your child. Also, it would be more "dangerous" if your child were to marry his/her cousin, and if this trend were to follow. This would result in a weaker family line, both physically and mentally.
