Quick Summary

This discussion addresses whether a marriage between maternal second cousins is legally permissible under Sapinda law, specifically within the context of the Special Marriage Act. The provided definition of Sapinda relationships outlines prohibitions based on common ancestors within three generations on the mother's side and five on the father's side. The question is whether the specific relationship described, where the maternal grandfather and her maternal grandfather were brothers, constitutes a Sapinda relationship that would prevent legal marriage approval.

Sapinda relationships are prohibited under Hindu marriage law. Sapinda is someone who is: within or has a common ancestor relative within three generations above you on your mother's side of the family. within or has a common ancestor relative within five generations above you on your father's side of the family.

example, if the bride is the offspring of any person within five generations (inclusive) on the groom's father's side and three generations (inclusive) on the groom's mother's side, or vice versa, they will be referred to as "Sapindas" of each other.
Who come under the Degrees of Prohibited Relationships are:
female ascendant in the line
wife of ascendant in the line
wife of the brother
wives of his father's brother
sisters
brothers
