Is the wife forbidden to her husband if the husband finds out after the marriage that the wife's maternal uncle was suckled by the wife's mother, and that the wife's sister was suckled by the mother of the wife's maternal uncle?

The wife is not forbidden to her husband because her maternal uncle was suckled by her mother, or because her sister was suckled by the mother of the wife's maternal uncle. These two scenarios do not constitute prohibitive suckling. The suckling that establishes prohibition is the suckling of the child himself, whereby he becomes the child of the milk-giver and her husband. As for his ascendants, siblings, paternal uncles, and maternal uncles, they do not acquire a prohibitory relationship due to his suckling.
