I'm wondering if the forbidden-marriage thing had something to do with ideas of where babies came from? There was, for example, a theory that the child actually came from the man, and the woman was no more than a place to grow it. In light of that, cross-cousins wouldn't be considered related, as their fathers would be different. But then ortho-cousins whose mothers were sisters should also be OK...hmmmm....
