I am a 28yr old male from Jain community.
I want to know if its legal if I marry my second cousin (i.e. my father's cousin brother's daughter - to be spedific both of our grandfathers were real brothers). I have gone through the Hindu Marriage Act but somehow find it confusing. Can anyone please enlighten me from a legal point of view.

1. The reply is NO. Such relations fall under prohibited relationship within meaning of Hindu Marriage Act.
2. Hindu Marriage Act is applicable to Jains.

Just a clarification – can I understand how does father’s cousin brothers daughter come under prohibited laws because list mentions only ‘father’s brothers daughter’.
