The answer

If a woman breastfeeds her sister five times or more while they are both of suckling age, the younger sister becomes the daughter of the nursing woman and her husband. Consequently, it becomes unlawful for her to marry the sons of her sister's husband, because they become her brothers through suckling. It is a condition that the milk must be from the current husband of the nursing woman, not from a previous husband. These conditions must be confirmed, and the matter should be presented to a court for a ruling.
