Under the provisions of the HMA, on the mother’s side, a Hindu individual cannot marry anyone who is within three generations of them in the “line of ascent”. According to the Hindu marriage act,1955 section 3 (g) SAPINDA relation says that if any person marries SAPINDA relation the relation is considered to be void. This relation is considered the lineal ascendant and descendant here lineal ascendant means child, father etc.
Violation of this clause would amount to simple imprisonment up to 1 month or a fine of Rs. 1000/- or both under section 18(b) of the act. It is advisable that it falls under the category of 3rd generation of your mother one should not marry
