Marry my ex sister in law(divorced to my brother recently)


25-Jan-2023 (In Family Law)
As far I understand according to Special Marriage Act of 1954 I can marry my ex sister in law(divorced to my brother recently) but not according to Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Is it correct or I can't marry her at all. can there be any complications?

“degrees of prohibited relationship”—a man and any of the persons mentioned in Part I of the First Schedule and a woman and any of the persons mentioned in Part II of the said Schedule are within the degrees of prohibited relationship; So in your matter you can marry as there is no prohibited relationship.

Yes you can marry under Special Marriage Act. the minimum period of divorce granted should be completed for your ex sister-in-law to re-marry. there should be no legal complications untill and unless your family objects to the decision that you are taking.
