Definitely.. Especially in the UK
Around Asian communities as
Cousin marriages are allowed!
Soo many British Asians end up marrying their
Cousin whom they don't actually know!

You should watch pakistani serials then.😊

mujhe bhi thoda odd lagta hai...😕

Me...being a Muslim, a religion, Islam, that allows, cousin to marry each other, is very awkward also for me to see.

In south india , Tamil nadu and andhra , marrying mother's brother, mama, (depending on age gap) is permitted.

It might be odd for non muslims but as a Muslim this isn't odd for me my parents are first cousins like zain and aliah lol my dadu is my mums mamu and many of my cousins are married in first cousins infact in my family they prefer looking for proposal in cousins first 😆

Yours too? mine too..but us sisters are moving away from that tradition

for me its fine.. because i'm used to this culture.. it happens in india...

its odd for hindus as for us cousins are just like brothers/sisters.we perform rakshabhandan festival with cousin also.but for muslims its quite normal.even marriage is possible between cousins in some hindu punjabis also.

I'm sure many who are not Muslims find it awkward or hard to digest because they consider their cousins like brother and sister. Since I'm a Muslim and in Islam marrying your cousin is allowed I'm totally ok with it. In the Quran it exactly identifies whom you cannot marry.
