Dear Client,
You cannot marry your first cousin as it is prohibited in law (comes under sapinda relationship) and if you marry then it will be void marriage and it is a punishable offence as well. Better find some other guy

If you are Hindu, your can not marry your first cousin. It falls under prohibited relationship and the marriage will never get legal status. In Hindu's marriages between cousins are now allowed legally and socially.
