consanguinity...
Consanguinity means related by blood or decended from a common ancestor or stock. Affinity is a connection existing as a consequence of marriage, such as between a wife and her husband's blood relations. Whether cousins are "closely related" or "to the second degree" depends on who is living and where you are counting from. Second cousins are most certainly not related by consanguinity or affinity to the second degree. First cousins are probably not.
