**it’s one’s choice who he/she marries but as a Muslim one must NOT make it sort of Haraam upon themselves because Allah has made this rishta Halaal. in Qur’aan, we have been warned NOT to make HALAAL things HARAAM and Haraam things Halaal because Allah has already decided it for you.

i’m saying this because i’ve heard many people say i can’t marry my cousin, he is LIKE brother to me. well, he is NOT a brother!**

Very well said and its very common in our society and have some advantages too. You know the family, environment (that is very much like yours) and adjustment issues are less than in marriages outside family. You know ‘Apna maaray ga bhi to chaon main rake ga’!

The two most retarded posts in this entire thread.

If marrying a person who you used to call baji or bhai was such a big deal, I’m sure Allah swt would’ve made it haraam.

Allah’s made divorce halal too, but he’s made it clear that that is the most disliked of all the things He’s made halal for us.

Just because it’s allowed, doesn’t mean you should DEFINITELY do it. It’s allowed because in certain circumstances, family pulls through for you. If you have a retarded child, it’s better to marry that child into the family because bahar kay kisi banday nay aa kar rishta nahin poochna. However, there is no guarantee that this rishta would be better than marrying outside the family.

Allah’s also said that “We have …] made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another.” Just goes to show you, it’s preferred by God Almighty Himself to go forth and marry into other families, not in your own family specifically.
