Dear Ajay,
Cousins are not included in the lists of prohibited relatives provided in the Bible ,specifically in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
In Roman Catholicism, all marriages more distant than first-cousin marriages are allowed.(refer verses 155)
Protestant churches generally allow cousin marriage.(refer verses 161)
My solution to your query is not to go against the wishes of the elders.Another aspect as per medical science is children born to first cousins have genetic disorders.

You had raised the similar query and the experts had asked whether you are Hindu? and it was further told to you that if you are Hindu then it is not possible but if you are christian, you can go ahead and can marry with your cousin.
