Ali was the first cousin of the Prophet, he was second uncle to Fatima Zahra.
To make up for my error, I present three other notable cousin marriages.

Prophet Ibrahim AS married Sarah, his cousin.

Zayd Ibn Khattab RA elder brother of Umar and martyr married his cousin Atiqa Bint Zayd RA.

Caliph Umar RA later married Atiqa RA as well.

Do not believe when people spread dishonor on cousin marriages. Individuals far better than you and I practiced this.

There's time for chauvinistic fkd and a time to stand up for Al-Xaq. Spent 8 years learning Fiqh, like subulu-salaam, cumdutul axkaam etc
Mashallah that is truly remarkable sxb. I wish to study the deen to a greater extent in Carabaha soon. Inshallah.

It is a blessed thing, Islam rewards the attainers of knowledge greatly.

May Allah SWT bless your future endeavors. :nvjpqts:

Yaa salaam. Let me add another notable cousin marriage, Zain Al-Abideen Aka Ali ibn Hussein ibn Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (great-grandson of the prophet) married his first cousin Fatima bint Hassan ibn Ali ibn Abi Taalib.

I fear for my akhira. Knowledge without action is like dispersed dust, utterly useless.

May Allah install the sweetness of Iman in our hearts. Hassan Albasri said, if the Kings and rulers knew the sweetness if our Iman, they'd take that away from us forcefully.

By Allaah, the reputation of the scholars amidst the people is higher, honorable, and
greater than the reputation of the kings and nobler than the reputation of the
presidents, kings and others, such as successful businessmen. You all know the story
of the slave girl of Haroon ar-Rasheed, when she saw Ibn Al-Mubaarak and the people
that had gathered around him. She said: “By Allaah this is truly the rulership, not the
rulership of Haroon ar-Raseed, of whom people do not gather around him unless they
want something or out of fear.” Excerpt from Yahya Hajoori experiences in Britain
 
Make cousins only marry cousins. The only thing it will create after it's a trisomic Abdi.
You are NOT Adem and Hawa children who had to create Humanity. You leave on the planet with 7 billion people. And the only person you want to marry is your Aunt's daughter. Go heal yourself. It's at the same level that people who don't find someone when they have to choose between 3.5 humans.

Aside from cousin marriages being somewhat incestuous, aren’t you afraid of having deformed kids? Or your in laws also being your family :shookgabre: There’s so many people in this world, how are you gonna let yourself fall in love with your cousin lmao

I once met a Somali guy who was a product of cousin marriage he told me its traditional in his family and they marry each other back to back and yeah he looked quite deformed he’s jawline, teeth and face shape looked really awkward I don’t know how to explain but I’d advise to marry far as possible from your bloodline to have decent looking children

It’s not that serious

I hope he doesn’t end up following tradition for his kids sake. Since when did we become like Pakistanis?? I agree it’s so much easier to meet people these days, no excuse. Only desperados would go for their cousins smh

I'd rather not. Cousin marriages can get messy and bring too much drama into a family. Divorce can absolutely ruin the family dynamic, starting never-ending conflict.
I think it’s quite the opposite— cousin marriages would strengthen family ties and significantly decrease the possibility of a divorce

And if ur wife wants money for her hoyo, you’ll also be helping your edo at the same time:icon lol:

The pros out weigh the cons here

alot of somalis raise cousins like siblings they need to tell their kiss cousins maaha dad isla dhashay
 
I would rather die then marry my cousins. That’s disgusting since I am close with them + the chance of diseases are high too. No thank you
 
I have a massive family that it's impossible to get to know them all so I am planning on not even marrying from my region because I'm terrified of accidentally marrying my cousin or something
