No. Not possible. It is the prohibited relationship in hindues.

Hindu law prohibits marriages between parties who are having 'sapinda relationship', that is three degrees from mother's side or seven degrees from father's side, as agnates or cognates or having a common ancestor.

But, there is exemption : In communities, providing for marriages, even within the 'prohibited relationship', if the practice is times immemorial, then prohibition will not apply.
