Hello Team,

I and my girlfriend are Hindu (some community from UP). We have develop deep bounding with each other since many years and now wish to become life partners. The problem is, we both are part of a bigger family tree and would like to know the legal method to help us marry each other. Her maternal grandfather and my dad are cousins. Does that comes under same blood relation? In either of case, plz let me know the legal way out to marry each other.

 Appreciate your kind response at the earliest !!

File not visible.

The relationship comes under  sapinda relationship and is prohibitive.Act according to the advice of the elders of both the families.

What type of cousin is your father with maternal grandfather of girl? Family tree must be seen to establish Sapinda relationship. If both boy and girl convert to Christianity then the situation could be remedied. Please consult a senior lawyer before making any decision on this matter.

Conversion to another religion for a marriage which comes under restricted relationships is not the solution.Here the relationship between two families is involved which may break up due to irresponsible decision of the children.

In south india marriages with maternal uncle's daughters or even with maternal uncles are prevelant,though genetically not advisable.Hence unless U provide the exact relationship there cannot be a conclusion.

Blood relationship marriages are not affected in maternal side in south, as marrying mother's brother, or mother's brother's son or daughter are most preferred in AP and TN.

You need not even worry about the similar genetical problem, as the relationship you have stated is too distant, and rare genes are less in number, and you may find out the ancestrol genetical problems if any that was noticed during past two generations

Marriages among paternal relationships, (Agnites) are barred under Mitakshara Law.)

On the face of the statement it's coming under the sapinda relationship under the Hindu Marriage Act. But as you said his maternal grandfather is cousin of your father, we have to look at the family tree of the each side upto the common ancestor. According to your statement, her maternal GF is your uncle which seems unusual. Please share the details or consult some good lawyer near to you. Regards Vijay Dubey

Other than the question of sapinda relationship, is there any other objection from the families? The aspect of sapinda could be sorted out by the families.
