Is it legal for first cousins to marry, when one of them is adopted, and there is, therefore, no actual blood relationship?

Oh! Is it? I didn't know that - is it a (relatively) recent change? I'm sure it didn't used to be the case. Anyway, many thanks, Ethel.
No it isn't a recent change ~ Henry VIII brought it in so that he could marry his cousin..I believe!
