Prohibitied relationship Marriage - Hindu Marriage Act

Sir,

 

    I need advice that my brother's daughter registered her marriage with a relative boy in June 2009.  The boy is the son of maternal uncle of girl's mother & it senses as brother-sister relation.   Can we challenge this marriage under the section of prohibited relationship marriage of Hindu Marriage Act.  The issue is now recently disclosed by both of them after 8 months.  Now the girl is not interested in the relationship. Kindly advice how to proceed.  I seek immediate remedy. 

 

Thanks

This particular relationship is not covered under the "prohibited relationship"

if the girl's (Bride) mother would have married the maternal uncle, then it would be a brother - sister relationship.  As you said it is not covered under " prohibited relationship". Can we challenge it in any way? worth challenging?

from the maternal side three and from paternal side seven piri in hindi take into account.

The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955

 

HINDU MARRIAGES

 

5. A marriage may be solemnized between any two Hindus, if the following conditions are fulfilled, namely:-

 (iv) The parties are not within the degrees of prohibited relationship unless the custom or usage governing each of them permits of a marriage between the two;

(v) The parties are not sapindas of each other, unless       the custom or usage governing each of them permits of a marriage between the two.

Sec 2. (f)

(i) "sapinda relationship" with reference to any      person extends as far as the third generation   (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the mother, and the fifth (inclusive) in the line of ascent through   the father, the line being traced upwards in each case from the person concerned, who is to be counted as the first generation;

(ii)  Two persons are said to be "sapindas" of each other if one is a lineal ascendant of the other within the limits of sapinda relationship, or if they have a common lineal ascendant who is within the limits of sapinda relationship with reference to each of them;

(g) "degrees of prohibited relationship"-two persons   are said to be within the "degrees of prohibited   relationship"

I am not a advocate....

Marriage is banned between lineal ascendants upto to 3 generations from mother's side and 7 generations from father's side according to Hindu Marriage Act,  if iam correct.   Hence your relationship seems to be a"sapinda" , but im not sure.....

Consult your counsel before taking any decision.

sir are we come in prohibited relationship

Akash (Distributor)     12 October 2011

 

I need to know the possibility of this relationship and hence a valid marriage according to the Hindu Act 

I am the guy.  My relationship wiht the girl is as follows:

I (guy) > my Mother > her Father > his brother > his Son > his daughter > her daughter (Girl)

In other words (If the above in not clear):

She (girl) > her Mother > her father > his brother > his daughter > her Son (Guy)

Do the guy and the girl fall in the sapinda relationship or not?

Bottom line, CAN THEY BOTH MARRY???

Please clear off our confusion. Thank u.
