Is marrying maternal uncle's daughter safe in terms of baby's health? I have read about mutation from wedding cross cousins, although it is a common practice of wedding.

Yes, it can lead to some complications. Its better to check the health status of both the people along with family health status (any history of any genetic illness in the family in the last few generations etc ). One can also take a doctors opinion (genetic counseling) to take precautions in case one decides to marry a relative.
