In Hindus marriage can not take place if the relation is within spinda relation:
Sapinda relationship with reference to any person exist as far as the third generation (inclusive) in the line of ascent through mother, and the fifth (inclusive) in the line of ascent through father, the line being traced upwards in each case from the person concerned, who is to be counted as the first generation.

If there is an established custom the marriage in prohibited relations might be possible.

The marriage is possible if such a custom prevails in your community. Please verify.
