    Is it haram to love my cousin and pray to Allah to get us married?
    My cousin from my mum's side and I have had feelings for each other since our childhood. We haven't done anything bad together and don't want to. I always pray to Allah to get us married but is it haram or unacceptable to do that?

    It is allowed to marry a cousin. Its not something they encourage, but its not haraam either. And some cultures may frown on it.

    How is your cousin related to you? Your mom's brother's son/daughter or even farther? Biologically, second cousins can get married,, far as I know, there might be some problem with having children (children might be born with syndroms) if you marry 1st cousin... not sure how true it is,, but better check,,

    He is my first cousin from my mums side, but we really love each other.

    There is a slight higher risk of issues with children from 1st cousins. My latest readings show that the risk is not that much higher.

    So has anyone in the family discussed marriage details with the proper family members

    Better think twice if u want to have a family,,

    We consider our first cousins to be our own siblings,,
