If I were in that situation, I would respectfully say no to my cousin. I believe that honesty is very important, especially when it involves family trust. Telling a lie might seem small, but if her parents find out, it could damage her relationship with them—and with me.Reasons for my decision:Lying makes me part of the problem – If I cover for her, I'm helping her be dishonest.It could backfire on both of us – If her parents find out, I’ll also lose their trust.There are better ways to solve it – I’d advise her to be honest and ask permission properly, maybe introduce the boyfriend slowly and respectfully.
