Is it permissible to marry a girl who was nursed by my maternal grandmother (my mother's mother) when she was 80 years old?

If your maternal grandmother lactates after old age and breastfeeds your maternal cousin, then you are forbidden to marry the latter because she becomes your maternal aunt through suckling. The prohibitive suckling must consist of five full, satisfying sucklings.
