How can the problem be solved that stems from the accusations made by the suitor's paternal aunts against his paternal uncle's wife regarding her honor, which has left a psychological impact on his paternal uncle's daughter whom he wishes to marry?
What happened in the past regarding the violation of the uncle's wife's honor is a grave matter. However, the current good relationship between the two parties should be strengthened, and the uncle's wife may have forgiven and moved on. Therefore, there is no need to dig up the bad past; rather, it is better to forget it. What happened should not prevent the cousin from agreeing to the marriage. We hope that the marriage will support the strengthening of the relationship and increase affection, for bringing hearts together and removing causes of dispute is among the greatest acts of closeness to Allah. Allah, the Almighty, said: "No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for whoever enjoins charity or what is just or conciliation between people. And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allah - We will give him a great reward." (An-Nisa:114), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Reconciling disputes is good, for disputes are the destroyers."
