In the text "A Wife for My Son," the passage that best supports the idea that Aicha worries that others might support Fatiha's reservations about marrying her son is:

- Only an old cousin noticed. She came towards her; caressed her cheek with a sympathetic look, leaned over and whispered into her ear.

This passage indicates that Aicha's concerns are noticed by someone close to her (the old cousin). The cousin's sympathetic gesture and whispered words suggest that there may be a shared understanding or support for Fatiha's reservations about the marriage within Aicha's social circle.

The cousin's actions imply that there might be others who are aware of Aicha's worries and who might also sympathize with Fatiha's concerns. This supportive atmosphere among Aicha's acquaintances could potentially reinforce Fatiha's reservations and add to Aicha's anxieties about the situation.

By highlighting this interaction with the old cousin, the passage illustrates the potential for external validation of Fatiha's doubts and emphasizes Aicha's fear that others might side with Fatiha in questioning the marriage.
