As per the Hindu Marriage Act, it is illegal to marry within certain degrees of prohibited relationships. The Hindu Marriage Act prohibits marriages between certain close relatives, including the relationship between a man and his mother's brother's daughter. Such a relationship is considered a prohibited degree of relationship within the meaning of Section 3(g)(iv), and marriages within such relationships are not recognized as valid under the Section 5 and 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

Therefore, it is not legal to marry your mother's brother's daughter under the Hindu Marriage Act. It is considered a void marriage, and any such marriage would not be recognized as valid under the law. It is advisable to consult with a legal expert to understand the legal implications of such marriages under other laws, customs, or personal laws applicable to the parties involved.

If you are a Hindu, it is not legal to marry mother's brothers daughter I.e. Mama's daughter. Even socially and religiously it would be a stigma. Any marriage with a blood relative is prohibited. Morally also it is not correct.
