At what time did marrying your cousin seem not so good an idea.?  Einstein married his cousin in a 2nd marriage. I believe Honorine was also a cousin of Verne.  Axel in Centre of the Earth appears to be only 17 when dreaming of seducing his cousin Grauben, who must be 15. Jenny Halliburt in the Blockade Runners is only 15 when she marries Crockston. In an era when men often married at 40  might not Verne's heroes be charged with rape or corruption of minors?
