Dear sir
I am a 24 yr old guy planning to marry a 23 yr old girl. We have been in a successful relation from past 3 years.
Her meternal grandfather (a) and my father (b) are cousins. fathers of a and b were real brothers. is this marriage legal according to hindu marriage act ? I have consulted some lawyers earlier as well but could not get a rock solid reply.
I have read the hindu marriage act 1955 and i am not sure if this relation is a sapinda.
Kindly revert.
Best regards
Salil bhardwaj

It does not come under prohibitory relationship neither sapinda. You can very well proceed.

Bhardwaj,
Her mother would be a neice to your father according to the query, so the girl is a granddaughter to ur father.But nothing wrong in the marriage, as it would be absolutely legal.
