In my life I have only seen one cousin marriage and she was an older generation to me. It still feels so weird to me.
Cousin marriages are very common in Pakistan, and are seen as suitable and trustworthy match options due to shared family background. They also help strengthen family ties, and parents feel at ease knowing their children will have support from their aunts and uncles in the future if the need it.
