Sapinda relationships are prohibited under Hindu marriage law.  A sapinda is someone who is: within or has a common ancestor relative within three generations above you on your mother’s side of the family within or has a common ancestor relative within five generations above you on your father’s side of the family. A sapinda can be someone from your father’s side or mother’s side hence, you are not eligible for a hindu marriage if you marry someone who is a Sapinda. After reading what I wrote, figure out - Whether your relationship with this woman, whom you want to marry, falls under the Prohibited Sapinda Relationship or not!
