I don't think that there are, or have been any laws against 2nd cousin marriage anywhere that I know. Not here in Canada anyways. First cousins yes, but I hear that even that is becoming less of a medical issue if checks are done before hand. It's just a cultural issue in most places that turns people off.
I have two second cousins in my in-law's family who have been dating (openly) for 3 years now. I believe that they will be marrying soon.
