Feeling disgusted about cousin marriages stems more from western cultural thing I think. Each culture have their own baggage by putting forward the culture to islam. How come cousins become brothers and sisters when they are ghair mahrams? This same thing they wont say when it comes to school friends. I know a western woman who was married to a man who was her friend from school from very young, played together and so on. Here they are clear they are not brothers/sisters but friends and they get married too. When it comes to cousins, I dont understand the logic of saying that they are like brothers/sisters. Even as children if they have played together, after a stage, they are are not like brothers and sisters for they are ghair mahram. huh
