Is it permissible for a male cousin (son of paternal aunt) to marry his female cousin (daughter of paternal aunt) if the paternal aunt's mother breastfed two of the female cousin's maternal uncles, and the female cousin's mother (the male cousin's maternal grandmother) breastfed two of the paternal aunt's daughters, bearing in mind that those mentioned in the breastfeeding relationships are older than the prospective groom and bride?
If your male cousin was nursed by you, or by your mother, or by one of your grandmothers, with a legally recognized suckling, then it is not permissible for him to marry you. Similarly, if you were nursed by his mother or by one of his grandmothers [with legally recognized suckling, then he cannot marry you]. As for his brother or brothers being nursed by the grandmother, or some of his maternal uncles being nursed by their mother, this does not make him unlawful for you.
