Marriage to Second cousin

Sir, your proposed girl comes under sapinda relationship with you and so, it will be violative of S.5 of the HMA. Marriage between sapinda's is prohibited under the Act. But if your custom allows such marriages, then court can consider it as vaild. Otherwise not.

Hi,

Yes, she is right.  HMA prohibits marriage within the sapinda  relationship, unless witnesses and appropriate documents for such customary practice was provided before the Court.

Cheers,

 I     AGREE     WITH     SUCHITRA      &      ALSO     VENKATESH.

 I totally agree to what you said as per HMA what i know is I cannot marry till my fourth cousin from father's side and till second cousin from my mother's side but in us marriage with my father's real sister's daughter or son is accepted but that is again first cousin relationship then how the marriage is registered in court in this case. and is permitted under HMA.

That is what I said earlier. The S.11 speaks about sapinda relationship is prohibited but if the custom approves of such relationship, then the marriage becomes valid one. You have to support with evidences and convince the court that your marriage with your relative is approved by custom. Though the section speaks about prohibiting marriage within the sapinda relationship, court approves of it only if,  it is backed by customary practice.

 IF     YOUR   CUSTOM       APPROVES   SUCH  TYPE  OF    MARRIAGE,      THEN     YOU   CAN   MARRY.   OTHERWISE    NOT.

Hi,

What is Registered Marriage and what are its conditions. Is registered marriage is permissible within the community.

A  valid marriage in the eyes of law can be registered and it is now compulsory to register one's marriage.  Conditions of a valid marriage common for every religion are, persons who marry should have attained majority, they shold be of sound mind. and they should not have a spouse at the time of marriage. Hindu Marriage Act says persons cannot get mariied if they are sapindas. But law accepts marriages among relatives only if it is proved that it is a customary practice followed. In such conditions that marriage can also be considered valid and can be registered. Otherwise not.
