First of all as to whether both of you are attending the majour age that is to be seen, if yes then law permits you to go to registrar and solemnised the registered marriage. So far as my knowledge the Brahmins boys may allowed to get marriage with the daughter of mama ie mothers brother. Check both date of birth and certificate to that effect.

according to the provisions of Hindu Marriage Act Marriage between prohibited degree i.e. relationship is void. but you can marry your maternal unclel's daughter under the provisions of Special marriage Act, then Hindu Law didnot applies you and remedies under Hindu Law did not avail you.
