want to marry my second cousin from mothers side

(Querist) 15 May 2016 This query is : Resolved 
I live in North India and in love with my second cousin . Is it possible to get marry for us legally. Our relation is as follows :
Our grandparents from mothers side were real brothers. She is my mother's cousin brothers(real Chacha/uncle) daughter. Is it possible for both of us to get married legally as per Hindu marriage act.I have searched for it but didn't got a clear idea. Our relationship is not under prohibited relationship as per Hindu marriage act. But there is also one another thing, sapinda relationship, for which I can't get a clear understanding.

Cannot marry.

It is in the interest of boy that the marriage should be strictly legal as he doe snot land in rape charges when there is marital discord (happening in many cases these days and this forum is full of such queries).

Rest is your discretion , it is your life and you have aright to spoil it.

As there is no such custom, the proposed relationship falls within prohibited degree.

The obvious disadvantage will be that in the eventuality of marriage, either of the spouses will not be entitled for legal protection as in a marriage relationship.

marriage is prohibited in the given relation.

But our relationship doesn't fall under prohibited relationship, so how I can't marry her.
Kumar (Querist) 17 May 2016
We both love each other and understand each other. She's also ready to marry me. .. so i'm just asking that that if I marry her w'll it be illegal as per the law or not. Can parents from any side raise an objection to which our marriage can become null and void.
