Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Jazakillah for writing to us.
Firstly, it is allowed to marry a cousin as he is not mahram to his female cousin.
Secondly, it is unfortunate that your cousin got himself ‘involved’ with a woman. Islam is very clear that relationships outside of marriage are haraam.
Tell him to break off all contact with her and to end the relationship immediately. I mean that he should break all contact, whether it is by email, phone calls, speaking to her personally or through letters. If she makes threats to kill herself, he should ignore this. He should also make sincere tawbah and repent to Allah Ta’ala for his folly.
And Allah knows best
Wassalam u Alaikum
