If there is doubt about the existence of breastfeeding or the number of prohibited breastfeedings, the prohibition is not established, because the default is its non-existence. The default is not removed merely by doubt. The prohibited breastfeeding consists of five breastfeedings within two years, according to the more preponderant opinion. Therefore, there is no objection to marrying her daughter to her sister's son.
