Extensively clarify if this comes under a sapinda relationship.


23-Apr-2024 (In Divorce Law)
Please clarify, if being a girl I marry my mother's mausi's son's son. Then will it be illegal? Or it will come under the purview of a sapinda relationship? If yes then please describe it and if not then also. For a better clarification, since our parents are first cousins and we're second cousins; won't it be a taboo in northern india? If such customs aren't followed here.

Sapinda Relationship: The Hindu Marriage Act (1955) defines sapinda as a close relative related through blood ties within a specific degree. In this case, it extends up to three generations (inclusive) on the mother's side and five generations (inclusive) on the father's side.

Your Situation: Your mother's mausi's son is your mother's first cousin. Their son, your potential spouse, would be your second cousin. However, since the relation comes through your mother's side, it falls within the three-generation limit for sapinda relationships.
