you can marry anybody of your choice if you are aged above 18 years and if she is directly not your first blood then there should not be any issue, You can marry her as per special marriage act and can register your marriage

Yes obviously you can. because of the theory of agnate of Hindu Marriage Act. which is not applicable in this manner because the the theory of agnate consists of the father 7th generation and the blood relationship is prohibited relationship to marry. but in your case it is fall under the theory of cognate, that is why you can marry the said relationship.
