A quick definition of consanguinity:

Consanguinity means being related by blood. This means that people share the same ancestor and have the same blood running through their veins. It is different from affinity, which refers to the relationship between people as a result of marriage. Consanguinity is important in marriage laws, as some states prohibit marriages between people who are too closely related. For example, in New Hampshire and North Dakota, certain marriages with a degree of consanguinity are not allowed. Georgia goes further and prohibits marriages with both consanguinity and affinity.

A more thorough explanation:

Consanguinity is a term used to describe the blood relationship between people who share a common ancestor. It is different from affinity, which refers to the relationship between people as a result of marriage.

For example, in some states in the United States, there are laws that prohibit certain marriages that have a degree of consanguinity. In New Hampshire and North Dakota, for instance, there are statutes that prohibit marriages between close relatives. Georgia, on the other hand, prohibits marriages that have degrees of both consanguinity and affinity.

These examples illustrate how consanguinity is an important factor in determining who can legally marry. It is important to consider consanguinity to prevent genetic disorders that may arise from close relatives having children together.
