The Hindu Marriage Act has laid down several conditions for a valid marriage:
Bonjit 16 April 2018
The consent for the marriage should be free.
Both of us desparate to get married to each other
The boy must be at least 21 years old and the girl at least 18 years.
Both of us eligible
Parties should be of sound mind. Neither party should have a spouse living at the time of the marriage.
No both of us unmarried
The parties should not be in a prohibited relationship i.e., aunts, cousins, uncles, etc.
We are distant maternal cousins but not sapindas
So Is it possible to get married?
