Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prohibited Shighar. Ibn Numair added: Shighar means that a person should say to the other person: Give me the hand of your daughter in marriage and I will (in return) marry my daughter to you; or marry me your sister, and I will marry my sister to you.

"This 'his sister' is merely an example; otherwise, if the condition of marriage pertains to anyone—whether it is a daughter, a sister, a niece (brother's daughter), or a niece (sister's daughter), etc.—there is no difference."
