Is it obligatory to boycott relatives who know about and condone a woman who commits adultery and lives off the money of this adulterer, and are their money and homes considered unlawful, despite the desire not to sever ties of kinship?
Consider a few situations that would rule out your cousin living with the man without marriage: her family is upright and would not condone their daughter engaging in immorality, and she herself is committed to the duties of religion and wears a hijab, so she would not accept an illicit relationship.
Therefore, it is advisable to pause and assume the best, that she may be married to him in a valid marriage with the permission of her guardian and in the presence of witnesses, as the lack of its announcement does not affect its validity.
