Sura Al Niasa, ayat #23
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهَاتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُكُمْ وَأَخَوَاتُكُمْ وَعَمَّاتُكُمْ وَخَالَاتُكُمْ وَبَنَاتُ الْأَخِ وَبَنَاتُ الْأُخْتِ وَأُمَّهَاتُكُمُ اللَّاتِي أَرْضَعْنَكُمْ وَأَخَوَاتُكُم مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَأُمَّهَاتُ نِسَائِكُمْ وَرَبَائِبُكُمُ اللَّاتِي فِي
حُجُورِكُم مِّن نِّسَائِكُمُ اللَّاتِي دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّ فَإِن لَّمْ تَكُونُوا دَخَلْتُم بِهِنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَحَلَائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلَابِكُمْ وَأَن تَجْمَعُوا بَيْنَ الْأُخْتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا

Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters , your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
Since I am a Muslim , and I do not see any mention of "Cousins" therefore I am not going to create self made rules to satisfy society
I am a Muslim and I will follow my own faith , it is your own personal preference if you wish to marry your cousin or a women who you desire a bit distant in clan and society
Keeping my option open as for comments about birth defects even in western society they have birth defects even in none cousin marrige. ( Austism etc )
In USA for example a very None cousin society:
What do these stats tell you below , there are falws that are naturally occuring in nature
And as example we know in US not all marriges are cousin related but yet they have a rising figures on Austism (Mentally challenged kids)
Similarly rise in Cancer (In none cousin society), since none cousin marriges are so perfect why are the Genetic pool degrading that cancer is rising rapidly
So please gentleman I suggest you all folks relax on the cousin thing
I personally will keep my options open as a Muslim to what wome I feel attracted to and will not create self made none sense as some of the stuff on this thread
Marrige is 99% about attraction, within family circle (except for the relations defined above) or outside it is all fair game
Always remember , just because you marry a none cousin does not mean your child will not be mentally challenged. It is up to all mighty to decide who will get blessed and who will be left with a retard leader like one below
Some retards get to write executive orders these days
