Neither the indian divorce act nor the chistian personal law specifically deals with the prohibited degree of relationship within which the marriage cannot be performed. Therefore, the customary law of the church has to be followed. If the church to which the parties belong bars such marriages, then, you cannot marry your second cousin.
