You can go against any part of the sunnah if you are threatened on pain of death. ie- worship idols or be killed- in that case it is ok to worship idols so long as you actually dont believe in it and intend on fighting/avoiding the situation when you can.
I am not sure if this extends to optional acts threatened by jail. (marrying your cousin is very optional)
The problem with marrying your cousin of course does not come from Islam, it comes from the fact that it is illegal in many parts of the world and will be prosecuted in some parts of the world.
Th obvious advice is not to marry your cousin if you insist on living somewhere it is illegal. Very few communities in the west will encourage illegal marriages- polygamous marriages, marriages with cousins etc.
