Repected sir/madam,

I am a boy and i am in deep love with a girl who is "MY MOTHER MOTHER'S BROTHER'S DAUGHTER" . We both love each other very much and are amongst the rarest of cast with very limited population where each and everybody of this cast are of same gotra, so in our cast it obvious that marriage do occur between individual of same gotras only.

But my main question is whether THIS ABOVE STATED RELATION COMED UNDER DEGREE OF PROHIBITION ACORIDING TO HINDU MARRIAGE ACT.

Eagerly waiting for ur valued opinion sir/mam

With regards
Virat

The respective provisions of Hindu Marriage act are as under:

Section 3 (f):

i. "Sapinda relationship" with reference to any person extends as far as the third generation (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the mother, and the fifth (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the father, the line being traced upwards in each case from the person concerned, who is to be counted as the first generation;

ii. Two persons are said to "sapindas" of each other if one is a lineal ascendant of the other within the limits of sapinda relationship, or if they have a common lineal ascendant who is within the limits of sapinda relationship with reference to each of them;8

Section 3 (g):

"degrees of prohibited relationship" - two persons are said to be within the "degrees of prohibited relationship" -

i. if one is a lineal ascendant of the other; or
ii.if one was the wife or husband of a lineal ascendant or descendant of the other; or
iii. if one was the wife of the brother or the father's or mother's brother or of the grandfather's or grandmother's brother of the other; or
iv. if the two are brother and sister, uncle and niece, aunt and nephew, or children of brother and sister or of two brothers or of two sisters;

section 5(v), which states that if the Hindu bride and the Hindu groom are "sapindas" of each other, the marriage between the two cannot be solemnized by law and will be legally void.

Thanks for valuable comments sir....
Bt.we both love each other and such marriages are very easily solemnised in western part of odissa where boy could easily marry even his father sister daughter and our cast comprises of only single gotra so in our cast marriage are scoped to same gotra only and we belonging to eastern part where such practises are less indulged thats the reason why i was bit confused though i know law is equal to all...
i
Anyways i just wanted to confirm what its legal perspective is and much much thanks respected experts for putting down ur valuable comments.

you want to marry your mother first cousin . she is your aunt . you cant marry her as it would come within prohibited degree of relation ship

Sapinda relations/ Prohibited relationship
Marriages are voidable.

At the same time there exists Lakhs of such marriages in India, and also Hindus NRI

They lives lifetime, no one stopped their marital relations or declared void, to my knowledge. They have children, accepted by Society..
They did not face any problem to my knowledge.
Few parts of India, it is recognised, As customary.

thanks for your appreciation

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 15 February 2014
As rightly pointed out by expert Mr. Ajay Sethi, she is your mother's cousin, thereby maternal aunt to you, now you decide about proceeding with your proposed marriage with her(?) Even in most of the cultured societies marriages between such prohibited relationships are going on with the knowledge and acceptance of elders of such societies. Hence if there is no objection and marriages between such prohibitory relationships have been customary and being accepted, go ahead.
