Sanam and Ahil are not biological cousins anyway. Sanam is only related to Najma, not Imran biologically. Haya is her cousin coz Najma is her aunt. So the fact that Imran is the dad is irrelevant to their relationship. The fact that Ahil is Imran's son only makes him related to Haya, not Sanam. Yes he is related through marriage coz Imran was Sanam's aunt's husband. But that doesn't mean that Imran's son from another women is related to Sanam. He is not.
So there is NO issue of marrying her cousin here, even if it was not allowed in Islam. Biologically Ahil is NOT Sanam's cousin.Even Ayaan and Humeria were not biologically related. Shirin was Gaffur's adopted sister. I also think Gul will never take the risk of showing the marriage of "sibling like" people. After all she has a much wider audience to consider and she knows that showing a marriage or romance between close relatives may not be acceptable to all groups they are marketing to. So in order not to alienate a core group of her audience, she will probably avoid showing romance between blood relatives!
It is a smart move to do that. Coz even if religion or culture allows it, marriage between biologically connected people is not a good idea. It creates a greater possibility of genetic disorders and may cause deformity and other such issues. Also, mental illness is a big one, coz if you are from the same gene pool, the chances are that you risk some of the issues that your gene pool has being manifested in your children. Possibly even over represented. A risk that would have been greatly minimised by marrying outside your biological family. So personally I am against the marriage of blood relatives. But even in Sri Lanka, where my family are originally from, I have heard of cousins who got married. Though these days, it is a much less common practice. I think in most Asian countries it was probably practiced and even in Ancient Egypt it was the case. It was probably done is all cultures at some point. So it is nothing new.
