It occurs when two siblings in one family marry two siblings in another family. An example would be .... Sally and Sue Smith are sisters. Joe and John Doe are brothers. Sally married Joe...they have a child Rick, Sue marries John and they have a child Mary. Mary and Rick are double first cousins. Because they are related on both sides.
Double cousins would be like this: Bob and Sally are brother and sister. They meet Greg and Amy who are brother and sister. Bob and Amy get married and Sally and Greg get married. A set of brother and sister married a set of brother and sister, so their children will be double cousins (meaning they'll be cousins with the same people on both their mother and father's sides)
NOTE: a brother and a sister can also marry a sister and a brother - as in my case.
Double cousins are formed when two siblings from one family marry two siblings from another family, and both couples have children.
For example, Jane and Elizabeth are sisters. Tom and David are unrelated brothers. Jane married Tom and have a daughter, Sarah. Elizabeth married David and had a son, George. George and Sarah would be double cousins.
It is against the law for Sarah and George to marry in many but not all places, as they are first cousins.

How can your mother's first cousin be your cousin once removed but also a cousin by marriage is also a cousin once removed?
Your mother's first cousin is always your first cousin, once removed. That is at the core of what first cousins and removed cousins are. That relationship will never change; your mother's first cousin will always be your first cousin, once removed. The term "cousin by marriage" is relatively new and undefined, and for many it really does not mean anything. Some people use the term to refer to someone who has married a cousin. In that sense, if someone marries your "first cousin once removed," that person would be your "first cousin once removed by marriage." It is completely incorrect to claim that someone who marries your first cousin is your "first cousin once removed" simply because of that marriage.
