Islamic Marital Jurisprudence 2

Restricted relations
Marriage is forbidden between certain blood relations (although not between cousins) and between those individuals who were both breastfed by the same woman (see wetnurse). See also mahram for a fuller discussion of unmarriageable kin; Muslims are free to marry anyone not in these prohibited classes.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet forbade that a woman should be married to a man along with her paternal aunt or with her maternal aunt (at the same time). Az-Zuhri (the sub-narrator) said: There is a similar order for the paternal aunt of the father of one's wife, for 'Ursa told me that 'Aisha said, "What is unlawful because of blood relations, is also unlawful because of the corresponding foster suckling relations." Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 62, Number 46

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?" He said, "She is my foster niece (brother's daughter). " Volume 7, Book 62, Number 37

Age limits and arranged marriages
No age limits have been fixed by Islam for marriage. An engagement may be arranged between families for their children, but Islamic requirements for a legal marriage include the requirement that both parties are able to give informed legal consent (ijab-o-qubul). A marriage without this consent or performed under coercion is considered void and may be annulled on those grounds.

It is Islamic tradition that a wedding not commence until both parties are fit for sexual relations.Levy, p.106
