What is the context for this query? What do you mean by "my girl"?

Hi sir,

I want to marry my maternal second cousin. My maternal grandfather and her maternal grandfather were real brothers. My mother and her mother are cousins. Does our relationship fall under SAPINDA category of Special Marriage Act? Will our marriage be legally approved
