Cousin
Kiran
(Querist) 22 May 2012
This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,
I need you help here. I want to marry my 2nd cousin(Fathers-->mothers-->sisters-->sons-->daughter), we are in love from a long time and we cant seperate from each other(in our coustom I can Fathers-->mothers-->sisters-->daughter-->daughter but not Fathers-->mothers-->sisters-->sons-->daughter I dont understand why they made like this. In both the cases both daughter's will be second cousins but i cant marry the former one ). We know that in our coustom it is not valid to get marry but we couldn't able to resist that and decided to marry. We discussed with our parents and my parents somehow agreed. But her parents are totaly not agreed and they threatening to kill me and her if we do so. They are ready to kill her own daughter because of this. They tourchered her by beating,scolding etc... but we didn't broke up and it is not possible for us to live apart. We requsted that we wont marry, we wont stay together also and requested them to not force us to marry someone else. But they are denying that also and they are planning to marry her to someone else. She is totally not ready to marry anyone but her brothers are tourcharing her. In this case even if I go to police for help, they say that our relationship is not valid and they are not ready to help us. We are not ready to live by marrying someone and sharing everything with someone. If I marry her under HMA(where there is no prohibition for our relationship) but if some one put a case under special marriage act(where our relationship comes under sapinda) will court consider our marriage void? If not the case then I can take help of police ofr our protection. Please let me know how to deal with this situation. Only way for us is to take our life off. Please help us with this.

I think this is 5th or 6th similiar query in the last 2 months,regarding marriage with cousins.Mr.Kiran,though not direct sapinda relationship,your father and her father are cousin brothers.But still in that angle both of you are brother and sister.If both of you are really stubborn in love and want to marry defying the elders,putting their family respect in the drain,the only option for you is Special Marriage Act.But still think twice before you leap,see that your leap is on a cushion and not thorns.

I have my own doubts that the marriage under SMA would be allowed between second cousins.
