need you help

hi guys i m planning to start a new ff . but i m stuck with certain elements. i need your help.
1. since i have never crossed the boarders of tamil nadu, i dont know anything about rajkot or mumbai settings. i need a place with a hill station which is near to mumbai or rajkot.

2. in our place we usually accept marriages between cousins. infact my father and mother are cousins.
for ex: a brother and sister marry another set of brother and sister, can their children marry. though it is accepted in some places, i want to know if the story is based like that.

when i wrote my first ff, there was some objection so i changed the story line. if i make it like that that is gopi being koki's brother's daughter or something like that, will you accept it.

pls i need suggestions, so i could start my story soon.

I would accept it

It is acceptable to us, Muslims are also fine with it...but it is taboo in some places in North India...you can give the south Indian twist...I am waiting for one such thing...but please put a disclaimer in the beginning

Don't make it that close relation. I treat my uncle and aunt's children as my brothers and sisters

hill station near mumbai one is lonavla I guess

this is the problem i faced maddy. like in south india it is fine, but in north it is a taboo. i so much wanted to write something like that, but i got lots of pm for that one update, i changed the story to get out of trouble.
so this time i m trying to get all your reactions

In our religion (muslims) we can marry there is no objection

Shruthi what ever you write , we are here to read it

i know about this muskaan. still when some people read it they could not accept to read it. that is why i want to know all your reactions before i start writing the story.

Its okay for me if you make koki and his brother as cousins but I gave you my honest view that straight cousins getting married is big no for me. Take it as religion or culture or narrow mindedness

Hey am fine with it gopi should be koki s brothers daughter not sisters :-) you can place it in mahabaleshwar:-) in karnataka marriage between close cousin s fine. My mom and dad s respective jeejaji s are brothers.

We in south africa have no objections to cousins marrying as long as its not two brothers children in fact my brother married my fathers sisters daughter , and my uncles daughter married my aunts son .
