You cannot marry your first cousin unless you are both 65 or older.

The Law Explained

While many states ban first-cousin marriages entirely due to genetic concerns, Arizona offers a strange, age-restricted loophole. Lawmakers determined that the risk of congenital defects was irrelevant if the couple was past reproductive age. If you can prove infertility or wait until your golden years, your familial romance is legally recognized.
