I’m curious asked:

I went to Lebanon this year for vacation and met my female relative who I like very much. I am very pious (Muslim) and respectful. I have no bad intention. I just admire her piety and respect. She is the girl I want to marry. I am still 17 and she is about my age too. But I am in America and she is in Lebanon and I dont know if I will ever see her again. I am a valedictorian and I plan to finish Medical school. In lebanon, they marry early. How can I marry her in time. Keep in mind, in Islam, we cannot just express our feelings and say I love you and go out. That is immoral. Keep it within the Islamic guidelines.
I understand people say dont marry relatives, but you just answer the question in regards to how I will marry this girl. I will worry about everything else.
She is my cousin. In Islam, you can marry cousins. Dont teach me about my own religion. Please just answer the question. Ok forget she is my cousin. Imagine she is an ordinary girl, now answer the question.
