It's not how I'd define it, but it still makes a certain amount of sense, because a lot of the anxiety about incest or quasi incest (particularly in a situation like this one, where they're cousins rather than siblings or parent/child or uncle/ nephew) and weren't raised together IS about the additional genetic risks to any offspring. It's a bit like how the definition of adultery in English law still involves penis-in-vagina intercourse, so cheating with someone of the same sex doesn't count as adultery for the purposes of the divorce courts.* Laws around sex were often framed by people who were most worried about children and being able to clearly establish whose they were.

* I mean, you could still get a divorce on grounds of unreasonable behaviour, so it doesn't make all that much difference in practice, but it's still weird.
