It's kind of an odd comparison, anyway, because the social taboo on first-cousin marriage in the west is fairly recent, historically speaking. Through the middle of the 19th century it wouldn't have been considered unusual.
You're really comparing something that has become less socially acceptable over time with something that is becoming more socially acceptable over time.
