The marriage can be cinducted under the Indian Special Marriage Act.

adv. rajeev ( rajoo ) (practicing advocate)     10 July 2010

of course it is illegal under hindu law but marriage can be performed under the special marriage act which is for inter cast marriage

you need not to change your religion for this.

the only likely problem you have to face is from your near and dears,if they oppose.

N.K.Assumi (Advocate)     10 July 2010

Change of religion can not be a valid grounds to avoid prohibited relationsship under the HMA. Under English law two christians who are first cousin and thus being within the prohibited degrees intermarry on obtaining dispensation from Roman Catholic Church  the ecclesiastical authoritythe only the marriage is valid.

Cousin Marriages     not allwed under

the hindu marriage act

the special marriage act

mohamedan marriage act

christian marriage act

your impression is absoulutely wrong.

Arup (UNEMPLOYED)     11 July 2010

an illegal thing can not be legal by anyway.

however parties may go on live in relationship, without marriage.

but sourrounding people and relatives may oppose the relationship after having knowledge of it.

Dear All plz note, First Cousin marriage is not valid in any law except muslims.

About christians, it is well expalain by Mr.N.K.Assumi.

Rest it depends upon about thier relation.

Mahesh ji, plz explain your relation with your cousin. like she is in your mothers relation or fathers relation or any ather relation. It may be legalize but with proper channel.

About christians, it take a long time so thing again and send your complete detials.

Regards

1. Wether there is any provision in the in the hindu law that says so that if the person converts into any religion to escape from the law still the law is applicable to them as it was originally applicable. If not then everyone can escape from the law like this , so is there any provision in the Hindu Law or decided case law on this matter or any other matter ,under which the court has applied the provions of the original law though the person accused has changed the religion.

though this is not escaping from the law as no one can prove that i convert in christianity to marry as one's interest can develop any time in any religion , simply marrying after changing the relegion will not be sufficient to prove that i changed the religion to escape from the law.

BUT SIR DECIDED CASE LAW OR PRIVION OF HINDU LAW SIR IN THIS REGARD

2. Can the religion be changed twice is there any restrictions on that,and  if i again become hindu ,then as now a christian is changing its relegion to hindu who originally by birth was hindu does hindu law applies and makes the marrige Ilegal on the ground that i was originally hindu OR as a Christian now converted to hindu the Hindu Marrige Act does apply and does not make our marriage Illegal.

Please sir there are many questions and situtations i have raised before you so please ans on one to one basis sir , so that i have some clarity sir

Thanks sir

CHANGE OF RELIGION IS ONE'S PERSONAL LIBERTY AND A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT.

NONE CAN QUESTION ON IT AND IF ANY ONE ASKS, THE CONVERTED PERSON (APOSTATY) NOT LEGALLY BOUND TO ANSWER HIM.

 Mr N.K Assumi ji ,

sir, i have gone through the INDIAN CHRISTIANITY ACT and sir there is nothing mentioned or indicated in the law sir , which prohibits such marriges, Further leviticuses in the Bible doesn't prohibits to have such realtionship with the cousin so why dispensation and all sir

 Please Refer Link for bible which says there is no problem in marring a cosuin.

In a souther state,one can marry one's sister's daughter and it is a practice there.
