09-Feb-2025 (In Family Law)
Me and my boyfriend recently discovered that his paternal grandmother (dadi) is my maternal grandmother's (nani) maternal uncle's (mama) daughter, so basically they are first cousins which makes us 3rd cousins, we want to get married but we are worried if we can or not, our families don't know yet, we are Jat, we don't know what to do
Dear Client, In this circumstance, it is advisable to proceed with the registration of your marriage before the Marriage Registrar. For further clarity, you may book a consultation and I will provide you with a detailed explanation.

If both of you are majors, meaning you are above 18 and the boy is above 21, then you both can get married. Legally, you will be considered husband and wife. There is no provision in the law that prohibits marriage between third cousins. Your age is what matters. If both of you are majors, you can legally marry.
