Marriage among third cousin, legality, religious customs.
13-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
Can i marry my third cousin? I live in Madurai, TN(INDIA). She is my father's second cousin brother's daughter. Will there be religious customs in favor or opposing us? Is it possible under Indian laws or religious customs as an HINDU.
based on Hindu Marriage Act 1955 you cannot marry blood relations like brothers, sisters, mother, father relationship except uncle relationship. any marriage that falls under the above relationship will be considered void by the court. refer Hindu marriage act 1955 for further reference.

Is it OK to marry my second cousin?
Second cousins can legally marry in all 50 states of the United States. Marriage between first cousins, however, is only legal in about half of all American states. Marriage to a cousin or half-sibling is largely dependent on local laws and cultural and/or personal beliefs. 16-Oct-2019
Which Hindu gods are married to their cousins?
In the Ramayana epic, Rama is married to Sita. The daughters of Sitas father-in-laws brother, Urmila, Sutakirti, and Mandavi, were then given to Rama and his three brothers Lakshmana Shatrugna, Bharata. This is evidence that Hindu folklore has more distant conanguineous unions.
