#7 "If we get a divorce, is she still my sister?"

"And this is my other brother Darryl."
It may be a bad idea from the standpoint of genetics, but marrying a cousin keeps wealth inside the family and doesn't involve entanglement in other people's disputes and alliances. This is why it is common in clan-based societies.

#11 My sister and niece are very attractive woman. The idea of kissing either of them anywhere but on the side of the face gives me the willies.

#15 Legitimate issue for State Govt.

In several states, e.g., Texas, Nevada, 1st cousin marriage is a criminal offense. In other states, it is illegal. Only about a dozen states have no restrictions on this.
