Did you see the case of the brother and sister who were adopted separatly at birth, met and fell madly in love? They had to divorce. That I thought was just vindictive -- and utterly pointless. There is no harm in their love unless they have a child together.
Also, suppose we make first cousin marriages illegal -- what about all the cousins who are already married? It's really better to only ban the actual problem when you design laws, so making incestuous conceptions illegal would address the actual problem whilst leaving people the freedom to stay married as they are and live as they want to.
