yes you can, keep the relation apart, if you really love each other from the core of the heart, such things dont make any problems and recently a court has stated to choose your own life partner is your own choice and no one can stop you from doing so, best keep the relative aspect apart and go for marriage under special marriage act

Ma'am,

You need to specify which school of Hindu do you belong such as Dayabhaga or Mitakshara? You may or may not fall under Sapinda relation to the said person which is prohibited relationship, but even then some sects allow this type of relationship as custom or usage. You may contact me through LawRato so that I could help you by proper advice for the marriage to happen.
