Yes that is what I am asking.
I take it you have never lived in Pakistan?
Not more than one or two months on visits with the family. Pakistani or desi muslims that marry cousins do so willingly. My mother is Russian and she is totally against letting us kids marry within the family. Me and my siblings feel teh same. My cousins wife is spanish and converted to Islam and she would die rather than marry her kids off to cousins, although one of her sons is completely smitten by one of his cousins here in NY. The rest of his siblings however are of the same school of thought as their mother, that its disgusting and wrong and no one should marry within the family. Nondesis have a harder time accepting it methinks as opposed to desis.
