If the question is about the permissibility of a young man proposing marriage to his maternal aunt's daughter, the answer is permissible. And if the question is about the permissibility of the son of a maternal uncle marrying his paternal aunt's daughter, the answer is permissible because she is not among the forbidden [women] mentioned in the Quran, provided there was no fosterage between them.
