1. Comes under prohibited relationships.
2. Major age adult person are not adopted unless such custom and usage in family is there.
3. One of them should convert to Christianity and marry under Christian Marriage Act.
4. Such conversion is done under S. 3 of the Indian Christian Marriage Act. Therefore, after conversion into Christianity, the marriage does not fall under the 'sapinda' relationship (which is prohibited under the Hindu Marriage Act),
