Marriage with first cousin

It is prohibited under the provisions of HMA

It is a prohibited relationship even if you have different parental grandmother.

Love is all that matters. Nothing is impossible. This is just discrimination. Even in other marriages children can be born with defects or face health issues.

It falls under prohibited degrees of relationship...and the marriage is not legal under law...better think again...because if there are any legal consequences in future, you have to unloop many loops....

I don't feel it falls under the prohibited relations category of the Special Marriage fact as their ancestor is defined as father and ancestress as mother. Just don't marry in Arya Samaj style or under Hindu Marriage Act. Special Marriage Act is the best option.

I agree with vashista and ganguly.  Since you both are Hindus, Hindu marraige Act  will apply and not special marraige Act.  Sec 3 (g) of Hindu marraige Act defines Degrees of Prohibited relationship. 

The Special Marriage Act, is legislation to provide marriage, irrespective of the religion or faith followed by either party.

To Satish Chopde,

Even as per Special marraige Act, the rules are almost similar to Hindu marraige Act.  Sec. 4(d) and 24 of Special marraige Act deals with Prohibited relationship. 

1. Law does not go with someone's 'feeling' or jargons like 'love is all that matters' or 'nothing is impossible' etc.,

2. The 'do's and dont's' have already been specified in the Acts which have been enacted after lots of thoughts, debates & years of brain storming,

3. We individually can not reinvent or redifine law as per our sweet wish. 

Both Ganguly and Ravinder are using jargon, while Vashista has been precise.

Mr. Satish Chopde should refrain from misguiding people if  he is not  aware of the law of the land, should not have scant or disrespect  the law.  Also should refrain from mentioning any derogatory words against the advocates here who are sparing their valuable time to address and give proper opinions and suggestions to the needy and distressed approaching this forum.  The advocates here are doing charity service and they should not be commented by such cheap comments, please mind your language or else you will be taught how to behave in public especially with the advocates.

Now to the querist's query, you have been properly advised that your relationship comes  under the prohibited category under the provisions of HMA or Special Marriage act, thereby rendering that any marriage performed thus will be null and void.

i am against such marriage.  but i will show you a legal solution to your problem.  both of you convert into such religion, i.e., muslim religion before marriage and after conversion get married according to their customs and rites.  you will get due certificate of marriage also.  you can contact even christian father also who can guide you that if that religion permits such marriage or not.  if that religion permits so, you can go for it.  the same thing happened in delhi. one civil judge had fallen in love from very young age with one of his close blood relation, who falls in prohibited relationship and their marriage request was spurned by groom's father, who was a famous advocate.  then both groom and bride converted into christianity and got married.  the father taken his son, civil judge to court against the marriage and the hon. delhi high court upheld the marriage (justice suresh kait's judgment) and passed severe strictures against the father with heavy penalty for contesting the case and spoiling harmonious matrimonial relationship between husband and wife by thrusting his moral principles on the society.  i further add that even in such prohibited relationship marriages also it is not neccessarily offspring wiil come out with genetical defects.  you can take appropriate medical advice at appropriate time.  only one question before both of you is whether love or reliogion, which is upper hand in your mind and future life.  if you are not that much attached to the religion in which you were born, you can go for your love life without qualms.

wish you best of luck.

As per the Hindu marriage Act it is a prohibited relationship and no marriage can be held between two.

It is possible only when there is come tradition in your sect of getting married to your first cousin. Which in fact not.

Special marriage act is not for the special persons who being a Hindu wants to break the barriers of Law. It is for the Christians and other sect people who are not Hindu and Muslims or having any coded law of marriage of their own. So there is no question of its pplicability. You are a Hindu and only Hindu marriage Act 1955 will prevail on your marriage.
