What are you considered if you marry your father's first cousin's son?

If you marry your father's first cousin's son, you are marrying your second cousin. As recently as the early 20th century, in some ethnic groups marriage between even first cousins was accepted, if not an everyday occurrence Today, many people in the developed world frown on first cousin marriages and some also oppose marriages between second cousins as being between people who are too closely related. Marrying your second cousin carries less risk of genetic disease to the children than does marriage to a first cousin, and even then the risk, while elevated, is not usually huge and probably does not exceed the genetic risk to the child if the mother conceives when older than 40 years.

In most countries this is not an issue.
