A.Dear Client,
As per Sce.5(v) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 a condition for valid marriage amongst others outlined as both the partners must not be Sapindas of each other. Sapinda relationships are prohibited under Hindu marriage law. A sapinda is someone who is: within or has a common ancestor relative within three generations above you on your mother's side of the family. within or has a common ancestor relative within five generations above you on your father's side of the family. If the parties are spindles of each other then it will attract Section 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 which makes the marriage void for the contravention of condition. In case your relationship comes under the prohibited category, you need to consult with the Marriage Officer under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 before registration of marriage. A Certificate of Registration of Marriage is a legal and authentic document required for different purposes.

A.Dear Client,
The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, which governs marriage laws among Hindus, does not expressly prohibit such marriages. However, it is important to note that certain states may have specific laws or customs regarding marriage between relatives.

In case you are concerned about the social or cultural stigma associated with cousin marriage, it is important to acknowledge that personal opinions and societal perceptions may vary. The acceptance or disapproval of such marriages can differ depending on various factors, such as regional customs, religious beliefs, and community norms.

If you have legally married your cousin and are looking to legalize the marriage further or want additional legal validation, the best approach would be to consult with a local lawyer who specializes in family and matrimonial laws. They can guide you on the specific legal steps or processes that may be required to provide additional legal recognition to your marriage, based on your circumstances and the applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
Thank you.
