As far as the Indian laws regarding marriages are concerned, the marriage is void since both your client & his would be fall under the prohibited degree of relationship. Further, a citizen is governed by his national laws as long as they reside in India, What may be legal in one country may be illegal in another country and vice versa.

In the given facts the marriage registered outside India can very well be recognised her also. So far as their paternal first cousins relation is concerned, it is unfortunate according to Hindu Marriage Act but if those are Muslims then their is no problem.
