Can I legally marry the daughter of the brother of my father
13-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
In India, under the Hindu Marriage Act, marrying your father's brother's daughter (your first cousin) is generally prohibited, as it falls within the category of sapinda relationships which outlines degrees of kinship where marriage is not allowed. Such unions are considered invalid under Hindu law unless a specific regional custom or tradition permits them, as the Act provides exceptions where customary practices recognize such marriages.
