just out of interest

I come from England and I'm a Muslim and from what I've learnt, it's completely halal to marry your cousins but I always thought marrying your cousins was culturally frowned upon/ a very traditional concept. I couldn't ever imagine marrying any of my cousins let alone romancing with them but in Beintehaa (btw not bashing Zaya completely ship them ;-) ) marrying your cousin seems to be the norm and I was wondering whether in India, whether it is normal to marry your cousin? Like Zayn and Aliya are first cousins, they share blood and yet when it came to them getting married that factor wasn't a concern

I'm not a Muslim, so I can't entirely vouch for this. But from what I have heard and read on this forum, my impression is that it is acceptable to marry your cousin in the Islamic culture.

well i m in pakistan and here marrying to cousin is totaly acceptable

When Islams permits marrying your cousins then why the heck does culture matter? Leave behind the matter what people will say! As along as it is permitted, all cousins can marry each other 😃 hey dear! Noo! They are not blood relations ! Cousins are not blood relations that's why you can get married to your cousins, be it your Mammu ka beta, chachu ka beta, Khala ka beta 😆

if u r muslim than how can u donot know abt basic rules of islam i m muslim n from pakistan in islam its halal to marry ur cousin n hamre liye jo baat islam ne bol di woh kafi hai is main objection ya awkward feel karne ki koi baat hi nhi n blood relations just siblings main hota hai cousin main nhi

I do know that it's a principle that is allowed in Islam but I thought it was a principle that was rarely acted upon, Muslims in England will usually object to marrying their cousins because it's just awkward e.g zain is Aliya's cousin and that too her first cousin and also her husband

hey islam permits to marry cousins like mamu ki beta or mausi ki keta whereas marrying your father's own brother'sson or daughter is not permitted...but as far zaya its totally permited😆

Hey I'm from England to! I'm not a muslim I'm Hindu but of what I've heard and seen it is acceptable to marry your cousin.

Well ZaYa weren't close cousins. So that's why it wasn't a big deal. Like I am extremely close to all my cousins so I can't even think about marrying them.
