The answer

We do not understand what you mean by "My husband is forbidden to his cousin," but it appears that he swore an oath of prohibition. If the husband intended divorce, ẓihār, or an oath by this prohibition, then the prohibition takes effect. As for a conditional oath of divorce, the majority of jurists hold that the divorce occurs when the condition is met. This ruling pertains to prohibition or divorce, and the matter requires knowing the husband's intention to determine what is binding upon him.
