The daughter of a foster sister is forbidden (for marriage) just as the daughter of a blood sister is forbidden, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "What is forbidden by lineage is forbidden by fosterage." Therefore, if your paternal cousin is your foster sister, then it is not permissible for you to marry her daughter.
