Suggestion required regarding sapinda rule in Hindu marriage act
1 year ago
Hello Sir,
Mujhe mere nana ke chachere Bhai ke pote ki beti se shadi karni hai, is it possible according to sapinda rule, because as per my understanding, the girl comes under the 4th generation which is beyond 3rd as per the rule. Having said that, the girl family is ready, Kindly suggest if this Marriage happens, will be considered as valid or not.
A.Dear Client
In the case you have described, your maternal grandfather's cousin brother's son's daughter would be your third cousin, as you share a common great-grandparent. According to the Hindu Marriage Act, marriages between relatives up to the third degree of sapinda relationship are prohibited.
Therefore, a marriage between you and your maternal grandfather's cousin brother's son's daughter would not be considered legal under the Hindu Marriage Act, as it falls within the prohibited degree of relationship.
It is important to note that the prohibition on marriage within the prohibited degrees of sapinda relationship is a legal requirement, and not just a matter of family tradition or preference. If such a marriage is performed, it could be challenged in court and could be declared null and void.
It is advisable to consult with a legal expert for further advice on this matter.
Thank You
