While the Torah does permit marriage of one’s first cousin,
it does not indicate that this is the most ideal situation, as there are many
incest taboos of which we can extrapolate incest is not best. Marriage of closer cousins is also closer to
being sinful when we look at the big picture the Torah presents us. Thus, if anything we should be able to
extrapolate that when marrying, the further the genetic link between partners,
the better, although this is not the only consideration. Jews are a clan, and likewise to maintain a
sense of identity, Jews should marry someone who is familiar with Judaism, and
at least have a partner that embraces Jewish endeavors.
