Legally it is not valid , this relation falls under sapinda relationship and prohibited by the HMA , but if you want to marry with him at any cost then marry with him if both of you and your families are agree .

If both of you are desperate, then you both can convert into christianity and get married and registered in church. That is a legal valid marriage, as per Delhi High Court's judgment.
