Is marriage with distant relative valid according to Hindu law


15-Jul-2023 (In Family Law)
I am in love with a girl in my caste. But the problem is that she is my father's sister's husband's brother's daughter. Some of the relatives(especially my father and father's sister) think that we are cousins and this marriage is not possible in Hindus. Hence, can someone please let me know whether this marriage is possible or not and is legal?

I don't think this relationship come in the jurisdiction of sapinda relationship. So you can do marriage. But if you do court marriage that will be more helpful for you, It will give you legal right of marriage.

Regarding your query this marriage is legal when both of you are not in prohibited relation and sapindas of each other according to Hindu marriage Act. Now you have to check your custom and usage permits for this marriage.
