Legally speaking in India (under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955), marriage is not allowed within the prohibited degrees of relationship or sapinda relationship, unless your local custom specifically permits it.

  • If she's your grandfather's sister's granddaughter, that makes her your second cousin.

  • Likewise, if she's your grandmother's sister's granddaughter, the relation is also that of a second cousin.

Second cousins usually fall outside the prohibited degree under most personal laws, so the marriage is typically legally valid. However, community customs (like gotra rules in Hindu families or clan restrictions) may still apply.

Hello... You both can marry each other....there's no issue.... Requirement is just 3-3 ID's of both of you...and 2 witnesses...and witness ID... you both want to get married with the consent of family or just you both want it to happen?? See there is no need to disclose that she is your relative...And it will not hamper you both in anyway...Just get a protection after marrying...then no one can stop you both...The only requirement is that you both should be major(18+ in age).. For more information you can call/text me... Thank You...

Yes, marriage can happen but it is a matter of how old are you both, are you living in relationship, if yes then you can get married, you can take protection from the High Court and whether the girl agrees or not, it is necessary. And the option is that you understand the people of your family and who are you peas of the district.

If he's your maternal grandfather then yes, but if paternal then no. Same for her it must be her maternal grandmother and not paternal.
