See as per Hindu law you can marry someone who is beyond five generations from your father's side and beyond three generations from your mother's side. As the relation you are mentioning is within the prohibited degree of relationship for marriage, you cannot marry her as you both are sapindas of each other. However, I must add that if the customs allow for such marriage then the same can override the prohibition mentioned as per Hindu law.
