Legal Question in Family Law in India

Hi. Is it illegal in hindu marriage if the boy and girl are first cousins ie if both the FATHERS of the boy and the girls are OWN brothers, then can such boy and girl can marry if they are in love. After all love happens to anyone. and such cousins are generally considered as brother and sister among hindus. I read that people with objectional relationships cannot marry as per hindu law!

The marriage will be ILLEGAL and not recognised in law, being hit by the provisions of SPINDA RELATIONSHIP and PROHIBITED DEGREES as per Hindu law.

If love happens between brother and sister or son and mother, it may be no ground for marriage.

All LOVE relationships do not have to end up in marriage.

You may better avoid any physical relationships and consider other options to find life partners.
