Answer:
Who is the owner of your work? You were breastfed by your grandmother, who is your paternal uncle’s mother, which means you are a brother to your paternal uncle. Therefore, you must not marry his daughter, because you are her paternal uncle through breastfeeding. If you were breastfed by your paternal grandmother, you must not marry your paternal cousin, because you are her paternal uncle through breastfeeding. He is your paternal uncle, and you are his brother through breastfeeding.
