marriage proposal // marrying cousins

[noahs_arc]

i have a marriage proposal coming - and allhamdulilah this is the man i want to marry inshallah

but my only grandparent wants me to marry my cousin? a cousin who refuses to acknowledge my existence let alone marry me!

what should i do?

i have done ishtikarah twice before. one time i did not see anything the second time i saw clearly and i truly belive the proposal guy is who i meant to marry.

what do i do?

If you want to marry someone and he has proposed I dont think you should even think you should refuse to acknowldge the cousin.

Sister if you have no intention and not interested in marrying this "Cousin" well drop it politely and respectfully to your gran! Let her know it's your life ,Sis it's your future and if you see no future ahead with this guy no need thinking about it..
Salatul Istikaarah is to seek guidance from Allah the Almighty .He knows what is in our hearts and our destiny is paved by him .Mashewera(consultation) and Istikhaarah by doing both you will never have regrets...so consult your familiy members our a pious elder and GOO FOR IT!!

All Granparents like to see they grankids marrying eachother they wanna keep it in the family:enough!::enough!: it's okay to want to respect their wishes buttt at the end of the day it your life and you have to live with the guy not them...May Allah swt make it easy for you to make the right decision...Aaameen

I hope you make the right decision. If you don't want to marry your cousin, then you should tell your grandpa that you don't see yourself marrying your cousin.

At the end it is your decision, and I pray that you make the right one. Insha'Allah you will be perfectly fine. Wish you all the luck. Mubaarak
