Rhode Island permits sex between adults who are related.

Incest law varies by state (for example, almost half of states both north and south permit marriage by first cousins, the rest call it incest).

Incest by itself is not rape. It is rape when consent is not given or cannot be given.

Also, if I remember correctly, the church used to have a 7 degrees of kinship cutoff (anything closer than 7 steps away in the tree nixed). Then it was scaled back to 4 due to pressures from secular rulers…
