Can I marry over the phone or in court?
Assalam O Aliakum,
I'm a 23-years-old girl, and me and my cousin want to marry each other.
My family wants me to marry another cousin of mine, and I'm not willing.
Can I marry over the phone or have a court marriage with the boy whom I want to marry??
Please I need help. We can't live without each other even a single minute.
It's just so hard to resist each other. Please answer me!

First of all, cousin marriage whilst technically allowed, is highly discouraged as it can lead to disabled and feeble children. 70% of Pakistanis marry their cousins and this has led to low iq amongst the group. The high school exam results of Pakistani children is lower than almost every other group - so you need to think about whether you are going to continue this inbreeding or follow the prophets advice.
