I don’t find it gross or see it as morally wrong or anything, but I wouldn’t do it myself.

Calling someone bhai doesn’t make them your bhai! What’s halal is halal. Would I marry one? No. But there’s nothing weird about anyone else who does. People drink, have premarital sex, do plenty of haram things which we’re not supposed to diss because hey it isn’t making a difference to anyone else - neither are cousin marriages.

exactly. it is not as bad as people make it out be. [esp here] It’s not something I want. It should also not be done excessively and be seen as the only means of marriage. Some people are obsessed with the idea and only do “khandan mai shaadi” That bothers me.

I’m not even “opposed” to it because I think it’s gross or whatever, I just hate the drama, complications, and issues that come with marriage in your family. Also, I dont like any of my cousins. ; )

But if two people meet and happen to be cousins and want to spend their lives together. then good for them. I just don’t like the elders fixing up marriages of young girls with their uncle-jee cousins, as long as they can say “khandan ka to hai na”.
