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.
