1st cousins is no ickier than some of the other iffy stuff going on in the game (Ricken and especially Nowi), and would, in fact, be almost perfectly acceptable if Lucina and Owain were living in modern Japan.

And now all those gameshows start to make sense...

Not even that, it's just a cultural thing. First cousins are in-bounds. The societies that see first cousins as out of bounds are the exception, not the rule (Western Europe doesn't like it, China also hates it, although in China it's also frowned upon to marry someone of the same surname even if you're completely unrelated)
